Kerry, Edwards Rarely Campaign Together
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - Sen. John Kerry and running mate John Edwards rarely campaign together, but they talk daily, swapping ideas on everything from policy to strategy to staffing. Kerry insists on it, aides say, even if it puts his campaign behind schedule.


Indeed, campaign aides for both men say Kerry makes no significant decisions about the race for the presidency without consulting Edwards — a level of involvement that advisers and analysts say could extend to the White House if the Democrats win next Tuesday.


The two have been fellow senators the past six years, and Edwards says that in the campaign they have developed "a very close, personal relationship, a relationship of trust."


Should the ticket win, Edwards is expected to have an office in the West Wing, be involved in daily presidential briefings and have a portfolio of issues that he would take the lead on.

1. What a CRAP headline
It should read "Kerry, Edwards work daily as a team". Instead, they make it sound like they never work together. Goddamned "national media". They SUCK!!!!!!!!!

10. "Bush, Bin Laden Rarely Campaign Together"
TORA BORA, Af. - Pres. George Bush and running mate Osama Bin Laden rarely campaign together, but they talk daily, swapping ideas on everything from policy to strategy to staffing. Bush insists on it, aides say, even if it puts his campaign behind schedule.

Indeed, campaign aides for both men say Bush makes no significant decisions about the race for the presidency without consulting Bin Laden — a level of involvement that advisers and analysts say could extend to the White House if the Republicans win next Tuesday.

The two have been fellow demagogues the past six years, and Bin Laden says that in the campaign they have developed "a very close, personal relationship, a relationship of trust."

Should the ticket win, Bin Laden is expected to have an office in the West Wing, be involved in daily presidential briefings and have access to an unlimited supply of suitcase nukes that he would take the lead on.
