Nader urges Kerry to pick Edwards
WASHINGTON -
Democrat John Kerry is getting some advice on his choice for vice
resident from an unlikely source: rival Ralph Nader.
In an open letter sent Wednesday, the independent presidential
candidate urged Kerry to choose John Edwards as his running mate,
saying the North Carolina senator and former trial lawyer has been
thoroughly vetted and is committed to protecting the right of
consumers to sue corporations that harm them.
"(Edwards) has already gone through a primary campaign and has his
rhythm and oratory (the two Americas speech) all well-honed," Nader
wrote to Kerry.
"After a slow start, Sen. Edwards closed fast and has won praise from
the media."
Edwards, the last Democrat to bow out after Kerry’s series of primary
wins, won several large verdicts before he was elected to the Senate.
Nader said Edwards is committed to preserving a civil justice system
that is under attack by "corporate supremacists."
And while Kerry may decide to take the advice, Zeese said there is no
quid pro quo.
