Edwards! I am inspired to return to blogging by Kerry's selection of John Edwards for VP. My studies took over for a bit there, but I am so excited about this. I read a profile two years ago on Edwards that made him sound like the second coming of Clinton, charisma-wise, and emphasized his "ambulance-chasing trial lawyer" background as a PLUS. It's a fantastic assessment, go read it. (The bit I am talking about is near the end.)

18 or so months ago the word was that Edwards was who the Republicans most feared running against. I was never sure if that was reverse psychology or what, but I give it a few grains of truth. The guy has an iconic American life, beautiful intelligent wife, darling children, is no stranger to struggle and heartbreak...and he's got a REALLY CRAGGY picture in his attic! No candidate has been that good looking since Kennedy.

He's the only person I donated to in the primaries and I only started giving $ to Kerry yesterday. My bimonthly $20 will not get me on any Big Donor lists, but this is the first time in my political life that "my guy" is a contender, and I'm excited about putting my $ where my mouth is.
