Nope...disagree.  Kerry is tough, actually, and will get tougher.   Hell...the guy's a hockey  player..give me a break!  He will chew and spit out Rove and Bush, ESPECIALLY if the National Security topic becomes the main issue.  This guy has been on aircraft carriers...for REAL. 

However, he doesn't  talk slow enough or with a drawl, and may not fare too well in Souf C'alina...(lawd it's hot down dere...in the land of the Stars n' Bars)...that's where Edwards should clean house.  Hence my reasoning that if Kerry should  win the Democratic nomination, he should definitely look to Edwards as his running mate to help pick up the "drawl" states, and that still might be very tough, since the right hand pounds very loudly on that ol' Bible down in those parts (hold on...I gotta spit out some of the drool from ma' chew...there, now  thass better!).  At election time, they may still side with Mr.Bush, and most of those folks will feel a lot more intelligent that they can at least speak better "English" than GW.
