So it's Kerry-Edwards

Congratulations to John Edwards on being named Kerry's VP choice for the Democratic nomination, ending a long weekend of speculation that Dick Gephardt - with his experience in Washington - had the nod sewn up.

While I was lukewarm about Gephardt, he really has given a long career of service. And there's something to respect about a man who finished a long DC career without becoming a millionaire many times over. Let's face it: (almost) any elected official who becomes fat-cat rich during their tenure is clearly involved in things designed to sell out the constituents.
