Like Ramesh, I never put much store in the absent-from-Senate-votes line of attack. Still, my jaw dropped at the idea that Cheney and Edwards had never met–at least in the Senate (or is it really that they have never met anywhere ever? I still can’t believe it.) When you add this serious traction for the “Senator Nowhere” charge to Edwards’ inability to answer a direct question about his own qualifications in a satisfactory way, it adds up from a real problem for Edwards.
