From Newsweek:
"In his choice of a running mate with no national-security credentials, John Kerry is betting that the November election will turn on the economy, not Iraq.
Edwards’s speech on the “Two Americas” is populism with a smile. He’s the rare Democrat whose class-warfare rhetoric wins the approval of the Democratic Leadership Council, the party’s moderate wing, while still energizing the party’s base of liberals.
In a week when Enron’s Kenneth Lay was brought into a Houston court in handcuffs, Kerry’s choice of Edwards seemed prescient. When you ask people what they’re concerned about, it’s not frivolous lawsuits. It’s health care and jobs and college tuition, issues that don’t take a lot of Washington experience to understand."
