“[The pick] signals that the conservative Democratic Leadership Council, Edwards's home base, will once again carry big clout in Democratic party politics. Anybody who thought Kerry's support for Edwards spelled a tilt to the liberal wing of the party can pretty much forget it.” –James Ridgeway, the Village Voice.
“The Kerry-Edwards ticket is the most liberal ever. “ –Bill O’Reilly, Fox News.
I tend to fall into the "Kerry and Edwards are normal liberals" camp, which I guess puts me "out of touch" with "mainstream America," both Ridgeway and O'Reilly would likely say.
