Congratulations to Senator Edwards and General Clark for their primary victories. A competitive race will only make the eventual nominee a stronger candidate. An extended fight would lessen the chances of a Kerry/Edwards ticket (of course, there's no chance Clark or Kerry would accept a v.p. spot with any of the other candidates) but it also shortens the period for the RNC and its media whores to focus their attacks on the ultimate nominee. And it keeps the all important Roger Ailes primary in play.
