Poll: Edwards Makes Kerry Viable in N.C.
He won CNN's Veepstakes, and today he's lifting Kerry to a dead-heat in a state Democrats haven't won since Carter ran in 1976. Now that John Edwards has the total package--name recognition, boyish charm, phenomenal stage presence, southern credibility, and the ability to potentially wrestle a state out of Bush's grasp--is there any question about who Kerry will choose? Unless John McCain relents and joins the "unity ticket" proposed by Andrew Sullivan and Joe Biden last week, I think we're on a crash course for Kerry-Edwards. Which is good, because we need someone out there who makes sense when he talks. Check out Slate's new feature: Kerryisms.

Well, I don't think Edwards would be brazen enough to run against his own president for the nomination. I don't think anyone would, for that matter...
As for the Clintons, we may have to accept a world that they're not running for a while. If Kerry wins and carries Edwards up along with him, the next Clinton with an open shot at the Democratic nomination may end up being Chelsea. Maybe Kerry can make Clinton the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court or something.
