I would have preferred Iowa's Vilsack myself electorally. I want to see the dems make serious inroads of locking up the MidWest. I tire of hearing about how the democrats need to pander to the south to try and win them back to stay nationally competitive. They will come around on their own in a generation.
But Edwards is my more idealic choice and I am very happy with it. Besides it does open up North Carolina, which becomes neck and neck when Edwards is factored in and even South Carolina, which is where John E. was born. Even if John2 lose the Carolinas still, it will have cost Bush precious attention and money sent Carolina's way rather in the real battlegrounds of PA, OH, and FL.
