I have always felt sorry for people with two first names.
Was it that their families could not afford a real second name? Or were their folks simply dull?
John Edwards was impressive on CBS this morning, even more so given his name handicap. The same is true of Wes Clark and Howard Dean, I guess, but they’ve enjoyed General and Doctor for years.
Among the Democrats, Gebhardt, Kucinich and Lieberman have a clear edge in the name game, with Kerrey and Sharpton not far behind.
One "real" name isn’t too much to ask, is it?
PS I cannot imagine the joy of having Mario Cuomo as nominee.
