Unfortunately, under the current political system, you’re damned if you do or damned if you don’t when you hit the campaign trail. Edwards is a perfectly legitimate candidate, has been a reasonably good senator, is a good choice for VP, and HAD to throw himself into the campaign to have any hope of getting elected. To vote FOR Bush because you think Edwards didn’t tend to enough business back home is pure foolishness. You think Bush and Cheney care a whit about the Tarheel State? If Kerry and Edwards are elected you can be sure they will help take care of North Carolina, so don’t be shortsighted. Sure, Kerry might not be the very best Democratic candidate the party could have nominated, but showing sour grapes because your man Dean didn’t get the nomination is a childish response. Help save the country by ousting the Republicans this time around before we all go down the tube. The Republicans have done more to ruin the economy, education, and the environment in less than four years than any government in history, and it will get far worse if they are voted in for a second term.
