8 of 14 party chairs in South want to see Kerry-Edwards ticket

Staff Writer

Democrat John Kerry isn't tipping his hand.

But if Southern party leaders have their way, their presidential nominee would pick former rival John Edwards as his running mate.

"Senator Edwards would be a great choice," says Georgia party chairman Bobby Kahn. "He could help in the South and help mobilize the (party's) base."

A survey of party chairmen in 14 Southern states found strong support for the N.C. Democrat. Eight prefer him. Others like their home-state favorites or say they'll leave the decision to Kerry.
