Reply #49: Personal Injury Attorny...

Just a few points and I'll add that I don't have a problem with Clark as VP. I think they both bring good qualities.

On the Personal Injury Attorney question. Edwards is also the only one that I have heard a good plan to deal with this problem. His 3 strikes you are out plan. And attacking Edwards for his history has been done before and failed. The reason it will fail this time as Edwards can counter every attack with his own plan to fight against the 'bad' attorneys while preserving the system which protects the victims. And he makes a good argument.

I'm not sure how much weight is put on the bottom of the ticket. Certainly the Repub are not going to call Edwards another Dan Quayle. Only the Democrats are saying that. And if the GOP attacks Edwards for being good looking that seems rather sad. And Clark is good looking as well. Is that really something they will attack with?

I am not 100% certain if they would do that or not. Edwards has the same about or more experience as Bush Jr. did. That argument could be turned against them in a heart beat and also much more weight is given to the top of the ticket. Today was the transfer of power in Iraq. The situation over there could change on dime.

Yes, Clark does bring lots of Foreign policy experience. No one would question that, but I'm also sure the GOP could fine lots of other Generals to come out against Clark if they wanted to attack him. I wouldn't say that he is bullet proof.

In the end, what will matter is what John Kerry wants and who he wants as VP. I don't think that Edwards is any weaker then Clark when it comes to the GOP.
