EDWARDS: I think an Edwards-Kerry ticket would be powerful.
Q: Are you saying that if you get this nomination, you will ask him to join you?
EDWARDS: He certainly should be considered. He’s a very, very good friend.
Q: And where does Edwards stand in your thinking?
KERRY: I want to thank him for the consideration. I appreciate it.
Q: Is he on your list?
KERRY: I don’t have a list. I’m running for the nomination.
Q: But do you see any view that would make it impossible?
KERRY: I take nothing for granted in this effort. And if I win the nomination, then I’ll sit down and think about who I ought to run with.
Q: What quality-and his hair and smile don’t count-does Edwards possess that you wish you had?
KERRY: I think he’s a great communicator. He’s a charming guy. He’s a good friend of mine.
