Originally posted by DBear: The Dems ticket would be much more formidable if it was reversed. As it is, I don't see Edwards providing much help. Trial lawyers are not popular, and this guy hasn't been around on the national scene. He could easily pull a Quayle or a Dean. Still, probably the best choice of what Kerry had to work with. :sleepy:

Almost every Senator worked as a lawyer at some point in the past. Thier knowledge of the law is one of the things that helps them to become Governors and/or Senators in the first place. In fact, a judge from my hometown (and husband to one of my favorite high school teachers) is running for the N.C. Senate.

So Edwards history as a trial lawyer will most likely be a complete non-factor.
