From Newsweek’s Howard Fineman: “If Sen. John Kerry isn?t going to pick Sen. John Edwards to be his running mate, he?s sure putting him through his paces. At the Kerry campaign?s request, the North Carolinian is doing four major events in June, three in battleground states. The headliner is the mid-month Jefferson-Jackson Weekend in Florida. If Edwards is a hit there, he could be on his way to the vice presidential nomination in Boston in July.”
