I don't buy into the idea that the requirements of the presidency have changed since 9/11. The president has always been Commander in Chief and has always needed to be capable of dealing with complex international issues.
Is Edwards the most prepared/experienced person for the job - no. Does he have the abilities and fortitude to handle the presidency - Kerry believes so, and we all get to evaluate him on this choice.
By the way, Edwards does have much more actual international, foreign policy and intelligence experience than President Bush did when he ran, so that arguement really does not hold up.
