...that he'll need more than a Southern drawl and an easy laugh. In a May 2007 Time poll, voters found Clinton the least religious candidate. The lifelong Methodist and former Sunday-school teacher faces the challenge of convincing Americans her faith is genuine. That's in part why she's given Strider a senior role, unusual for a Democratic campaign. "I'm not stuck in some corner, just to be pulled out when someone named Reverend calls," he says, in a pointed reference to John Kerry's 2004 campaign.

No, no, the former vice-presidential nominee hasn't replaced his Southern drawl with a Northeastern screech. But just as Dean went from pragmatic, centrist governor to liberal hero in 2003 by taking a strong anti-war stand and often criticizing Democrats in Washington for not standing up to President Bush, Edwards has transformed himself from an adherent of Bill Clinton's moderate...
