Remember how I said "There's always someone worse"?

Kerry just picked Edwards for his running mate.

Fuck.

Just to set the record straight for all the non-NC residents...

Edwards was a big trial lawyer down here who "fought for the little people"... for a big check. Pro bono? his firm never did *any* that anyone's been able to confirm.

He then ran on a platform for Senator that he'd "fight for the little people". Guess what happened? A poor voting attendance record, and then only partway through his *first term*, he essentially abdicates to run for President. He walked out on the job because something shinier was dangled in front of him... and didn't have the decency or balls to just quit and let the 'little people' of NC choose a replacement. Nope, we got stuck with a do-nothing.

In my opinion he's a fraud, a fake, and a self-serving egomaniac with not enough political experience to run for governor, much less VP.

Now he's the Dem VP nominee... and suddenly I really don't want to vote for Kerry. What if Kerry takes a bullet? This Breck Boy bubblehead and power tripping maniac could ascend to the Presidency... he'd be like Bush, without any political experience at all. Oh gooooood.

Bottom line: Edwards let down the people of NC. He's a sham. And he'll do it to the rest of country, now that he's been given a chance.

Kerry, I am so utterly disappointed in you it isn't funny. You went for glitz over substance, and turned the Democratic nomination into a soccer-mom-vote popularity contest. Shame on you. You had my vote locked in until this... but now?

How's Nader looking? *sigh*
