Check this out.  I agree entirely with John Edward's comments, re: Southern Voters.  They are likely to respond favorably to someone who also talks like he's got mothballs in his mouth, so the "drawl factor" is important.  Based upon what went down in Iowa, and what is likely to happen in NH, I think the best ticket would be: Kerry for President, Edwards for VP, if not the other way around, pending outcome of this next primary.  What do y'all "thank"?   (I think I mighta seen Edwards on the sidelines at one of those bluegrass jams...he was kinda shy and just plucked his geetar off to the side-like).
