The Campaign Is Officially Underway

With the Kerry/Edwards ticket now complete, the barbs are flying betwixt the Democratic hopefuls and the incumbents. Dubya, when asked how Edwards stacks up against Cheney tersely responded, "Dick Cheney can be president." Ooh, what a razor-sharp wit you have! Actually, according to the Constitution anyone "can be president" as long as they are a natural-born US citizen, at least 35 years old, and have resided in the US for at least 14 years. No experience necessary (but some opportunity needed). Which is, of course, how a failed oil and baseball exec with a robust six years of experience as a state governor made the cut.
