Anger never wins shit. Clinton stuffed the GOP anger in 1996 and eventually lead to Newt's departure.

The problem for the Dems is that their sunny candidate is only running for VP, while their angry candidate is running for preseident, whereas the GOP has the reverse situation. Bush is free to look sunny and above the fray while Cheney wields the hatchet. Edwards looks like a whiffle candidate while Kerry looks like an angry wierd old Massachusetts rich guy.
