It’s official.  It’s going to be a Kerry-Edwards Democratic ticket.  I think McCain would have had more of an edge and attracted a slightly wider demographic, but Edwards will do just fine.  He has boyish good looks (though I think he makes Kerry look older than he is), he’s from the South and he has a cute little family.  And for those who are more concerned about his politics than his looks, his track record is pretty good.  I’m not sure he’s going to change anyone’s mind about whom to vote for, but he’s benign enough (and healthy and young enough) not to hurt Kerry’s chances and doesn’t seem to have made a lot of enemies (which might have been McCain’s major weakness).

Another gentle reminder to those who haven’t yet registered to vote:  don’t make me come after you.
