This race would be over and no contest. Either one can handily beat Hillary one on one.

What a different world it would be.

13. The hubris-laden quality of Asshole Ralph, of course.
Some truths are self-evident, and some blowhards just cannot play second banana.

Ralphie the Mouth is one such person.

6. So true.
Their mutual optimism could possibly be her saving grace and their separate undoings.

This is one of many interesting scenarios that might play out.

Great stuff from a purely sporting and theatrical perspective; too bad it's so important...

10. Gee, Edwards Made Such A Great VP Candidate In 2004
I'd think that Obama would jump at the opportunity.

15. I wouldn't want Obama anywhere near John Edwards
Obama will have a lot better choices for VP. On your other point, there is no reason on this earth to think Edwards can beat Hillary. Obama yes.
