Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards appeared alone at several rallies over the weekend, and no one -- not the party faithful and not the press -- seemed to notice.
The enthusiasm for Edwards' campaign for vice president was wildly evident at each event, and even Theresa Heinz Kerry didn't notice that no presidential candidate was present. She urged the party faithful to campaign hard for Edwards.
"This country's problems won't be solved until John Edwards is elected vice president," she said.
Audiences roared with approval, many holding up "Edwards for Vice President" banners.
Party leaders, meanwhile, were huddling to determine if they should bother to pick anyone to be Edwards' presidential running mate.
Reports that Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts might be the presumptive candidate for president proved to be unfounded. No one can remember hearing him speak at any campaign events.
A survey of probable voters conducted by Congers University showed that the Edwards for vice president campaign is running neck and neck with the George Bush for president campaign.
"It's just too close to call," political science professor Philip Selig said, "between the Bush-Cheney and the No One-Edwards tickets."
Democratic National Chairman Terry McAuliffe said he's not worried about having No One as a party standard-bearer. "I predict that a No One-Edwards ticket can easily beat an Empty Suit-Cheney campaign."

again... why the hell are you so impulsive... stop and think that maybe he hasn't had a day off in months... how the hell would you survive like that
impulses just make you poor americans look foolish!!! stop and think that maybe there is something below the surface that might count if you didn't skim over it.
Edwards carries the banner for Democrats
