SO KERRY PICKS EDWARDS, thrilling the plaintiffs' bar and relieving those of us who feared the Liebermanesque debacle of a Gephardt pick.

People talk a lot about intelligence as differentiating Kerry from Bush (or for that matter, Bush from most anybody). But education is something different, and something that Kerry definitely has, and Bush doesn't, notwithstanding Andover and Yale. Check the rigor and rhythm of this Kerryism, from his announcement speech today:

"'I have worked with John Edwards side by side and sometimes head to head. I've seen John Edwards think, argue, advocate, legislate and lead for six years now. I know his skill, I know his passion, I know his strength, I know his conscience. I know his faith."

mmmm....delicious rhetorical structure.
