It will be interesting to see Edwards in the attack dog role.

Don't underestimate the power of the VP candidate. Gore truly helped Clinton and Quayle hurt Bush.
Edwards may help Kerry in N. Carolina and the South, including Fla. where Bush's new visitation laws to Cuba has the very powerful Cuban contingent mad, so Fla. may swing Kerry's way anyhow.
If anything, where Kerry is dull, Edwards has the enthusiasm and charisma to truly make a difference. Biden might have been a good choice, as would've McCain. But I think Kerry chose the best man possible and I think with Edwards' charisma and ability to energize people, Kerry will get a lot more undecideds and those are the ones who truly win or lose the candidates the elections.
