I probably wouldn't have any problem considering Mrs. Edwards for the title of "Spouse of the Year." She would certainly get my attention on the possible nominees. Having said that, I think the Edwardses try too hard. She seems like a great person and...let's face it, he's not hard to look at.

I don't think the former senator is electable. I've thought that of some Republicans at times as well as Dems. I did not think that Bob Dole was electable. Perhaps not all candidates need to be in politics for a long time, but I think in the case of Edwards...he needs to serve in the Senate again, or take on some other political position before he will really be able to gain the voters respect as a presidential choice. It may not be experience as much as individual personality.

He still comes across as the "Rich Kid with a Silver Tongue." That may not be who he is..., but that's the perception. My advice...stay away from presidential races and build a name in Federal Govt. then come back and see us.
