Jonah, One thing I’ve been thinking about Edwards is how he shows there is a reason for the traditional rules of politics. You have the VP be the attack dog so you don’t drive up your own unfavorables by being the attack dog yourself. That’s exactly what has happened to Kerry because he has a (mostly) “positive” VP candidate. Another traditional rule worth honoring: have your spouse tightly scripted so she doesn’t do anything to embarrass you.
