John Kerry regrets picking John Edwards as 2004 running mate

Former Secretary of State John Kerry said in new comments that he regrets picking former Sen. John Edwards to be his running mate while a top the 2004 Democratic ticket.

Kerry told CBS News in an interview set for broadcast Sunday that Edwards ultimately "didn't measure up" to what he wanted in a running mate.

“If you measure the qualities that you are looking for when you choose a vice president,” Kerry said of Edwards, “it didn't measure up. It wasn't what we had hoped for.”

Kerry was defeated that fall by then-President George W. Bush.

Edwards got into hot water during his 2008 presidential run when he admitted to an extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter, and was subsequently charged in 2011 with using more than $1 million in campaign donations to cover up the affair.

He was found not guilty in 2012 of the charges and the Justice Department ultimately dropped the case.

He has a point, but who trashes his running mate after the fact?  Besides an SOB like Kerry?

Didn't Bush 41 have the same misgivings with Quayle?

But yeah, that's the first thing that came to mind. Seems like the death of McCain opened the flood gates for "reflection" by politicians.

Does he regret committing high treason as a Naval Reserve officer by collaborating with our enemy on foreign soil during time of war?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

No he does not regret committing high treason.

High Treason is part of the Democratic platform
and has been for quite some time.
