I think it will amount to a wash. If you are a non Union Democrat this would be your ideal ticket. Edward's does have charisma something Kerry is lacking but I don't think a VP selection will really mater that much normally. Someone like Hillary, who by her very name would polarize both sides is a glaring exception. Edwards will not really help in the south as he is not very popular at home in NC and may have lost his seat if he ran. Edward's trial lawyer background I don't think will sway many as it was tried in 1998(?) during his Senate run without much results. The best tactic against them would be to use their voting record and extreme liberal stances against them IMO.
