"Tom Donohue, head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce [3], has made a public vow: If John Edwards [4] is chosen as John Kerry [5]'s running mate, the chamber will abandon its traditional stance of neutrality in the presidential race and work feverishly to defeat the Democratic ticket. 'We'd get the best people and the greatest assets we can rally' to the cause, he says," reports Alan Murray. An anonymous Fortune 100 CEO called Edwards "the one we fear the most" - not for his views, which are "more moderate and more in line with business" than Dean or Gephardt - but because he's a trial lawyer.
