Thirded. I'd be very proud to vote Edwards/Obama.
Kerry couldn't deliver the goods last time. He's an excellent Senator, but he doesn't connect with a broad electorate. He's too intellectual and wordy--it comes across as uncertain and defensive. He was running against the master of the soundbite. The Bush campaign was all about catchy slogans and repetetive talking-points that play well in TV news format. Kerry, on the other hand, just couldn't resist giving complete and nuanced answers to every question, and that's not what the electorate wants. They want certainty and clarity. Substance just can't beat soundbites.
