I mean, yeah, he has that one job where he sits in the big chair in front of everyone :rolleyes:, and if the president dies, he gets put in charge...but in the meantime...does it really even matter? So Edwards got selected to stand around and look nice? Who cares?

awww, bb, what's the matter, can't defend this admin so you have to go back and bring up the previous one? :stosh:

btw, I was an independent up till last year, so saying "clinton was worse" doesn't really do it for me.
