Like Gore, Kerry is an awkward guy who works very hard, crafts very nuanced and careful positions, doesn't make people fall in love with him, but brings home just enough of the left and center to win. They're both rich kids. The press hates both of them.
Like Clinton, Edwards creates strong emotional connections with people, can win over undecides solely with a stump speech, and causes people to fall in love with him. They're both from poor families.
I prefer candidates like Edwards and Clinton because they have the potential to win lots of converts over to the Democratic side.
