    US Democrats nominate Kerry for president

    Republicans "are doing all they can to take this campaign for the highest office in the land down the lowest possible road," he said. "This is where you come in. Between now and November, you -- the American people -- you can reject the tired, old, hateful, negative politics of the past. And instead you can embrace the politics of hope, the politics of what's possible, because this is America, where everything is possible."

    Edwards never mentioned Bush or Cheney by name -- a departure from the traditional vice presidential role of leading the attack against the opposition. But he outlined a Democratic agenda that drew a sharp contrast with that of the Bush administration and vouched for Kerry's character and values, saying, "John understands personally about fighting in a war."

    In a speech that repeatedly brought the delegates to their feet with applause, Edwards melded his own values and the message that carried him through the primaries with Kerry's biography and policy vision for the country. The senator, who as a lawyer was lauded for simplifying the complicated, tried Wednesday night to reach the nation's middle class by outlining his own modest upbringing, harking back to his message of "two Americas" -- the haves and have-nots -- and offering hope to the struggling.

    The speech was long on promises, but did not address how Kerry would deal with the big budget deficits run up under Bush or the looming challenge of financing major entitlements programs like Social Security and Medicare.
