Democrats Have a Dream Team, Now Don’t Blow It

He may be getting trounced in the primaries, but between catnaps last night, I watched my man, John Edwards, in the Nevada debate. He was the breath of fresh air, injecting reality into a lot of empty rhetoric.

Unfortunately, the media has already declared Edwards the loser. He’s just one step away from being “Kuciniched” out of future debates.

Obama’s a good man, but he strikes me as a kitten fluffing himself up, trying to play tough with the big cats.

Since we have three smart, articulate candidates to choose from, the best outcome would be either a Clinton/Obama or an Edwards/Obama ticket. Then Obama could get some vital OTJ training while being groomed for the presidency in 2016.

I think Edwards can’t run as VP with either Clinton or Obama because 1) He tried it before and failed, 2) Clinton won’t want a loser on her ticket, and 3) If Obama picked him, everyone would call him Obama’s training wheels.

Clinton won’t be anybody’s VP because she’s come too far to play second fiddle now.

We Democats are lucky to have so many excellent choices. If they could just put their egos and bickering aside, two of them in any combination could be a dream team, capable of beating whichever religious zealots or war-loving hawks the Republicans nominate.
