the 3 that came up for me was

1) Sen. Jim Webb (Virginia)

2) Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (Kansas)

3) Gov. Ted Strickland (Ohio)

Jim Webb is leading by a big margin. Hillary has 0% is not on the board yet.

I discovered Salon several years ago when I was doing research for a paper. I've been a subscriber ever since. Well written articles with diverse opinions presented in a non sensational manner; i.e. Huffington Post. Jake Tapper started at Salon and a few others have become members of the national press. Have you posted on any of their forums?

His best bet by far would have been Ted Strickland from Ohio, who has approval ratings so high he would have comfortably delivered the state for his ticket. Also, Ted Strickland comes from a blue collar background in Appalachia, the exact demographic Obama's campaign has trouble with.

Problem is though, he has no interest in running. LOL.

Webb is on the cover of Parade Magazine today. Wow what great timing and coincidence?
