Yahoo/Reuters news story: Bush Raises Issue of Edwards' Experience to Be VP

(excerpt)

President Bush criticized Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards in his own home state on Wednesday by questioning whether Edwards has sufficient experience to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

A day after Edwards was picked by Democratic White House hopeful John Kerry as his running mate, Bush raised the experience issue when asked how Edwards stacked up against his own vice president, Dick Cheney.

"Dick Cheney can be president," Bush said briskly.

From a post in the message board for that story:

CHENEY COULD BE PRESIDENT!!

Exactly. That's why I'm voting for Kerry.
