It's John Kerry & John Edwards

Despite an early prediction blunder by the New York Post, the announcement of John Edwards as John Kerry's running mate went off without a hitch.

Democratic White House hopeful John Kerry on Tuesday chose former political rival North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, a man with "guts and determination and political skills," as his vice presidential running mate. The choice of Edwards, 51, once picked by People magazine as one of America's sexiest politicians, brings a dash of fresh-faced charismatic appeal to a ticket headed by Kerry, who has been criticized for his leaden campaign style.

I am pleased to announce, that with your help, the next vice president of the United States will be Senator John Edwards of North Carolina," Kerry told a rally in downtown Pittsburgh as a huge banner unfurled behind him that read, "Kerry-Edwards. A stronger America." Kerry called Edwards, a first-term senator and millionaire trial lawyer, "a champion for middle class Americans." Although he won only one state during the Democratic primaries, Edwards received praise for his strong Populist campaign. [AP]

The Republican's immediately branded John Edwards, as "phony" and too liberal, painting an unflattering image of the Democrat whom the White House had feared most during this year's primaries. I think the pairing is a good match. Kerry is a middle of the road Democrat, and Edwards is left enough to stir things up a little.
