Wesley Clark would make an interesting choice. As a strong Hillary supporter, he would hopefully appease and attract the Clinton camp. His military experience, well, sort of trumps McCain's. He has the southern votes. And I have a weird "he's kind of hot for an older guy" crush on him.

If Mitt shows up on the other ticket, Edwards or Clinton. They're the only ones who totally annihilate Romney. He can't out-talk them and they know how to deal with him.

I concur with Edwards. If he and Obama had stuck together to begin with, they'd be a lot better off.

Edwards is a weak candidate. He failed to carry North Carolina for Kerry. You need a governor....somebody with an existing grassroots organization in a swing or southern state to offset Obama's weaknesses. This is why Mark Warner of Virginia, Richardson of New Mexico, or Napolitano of Arizona would make more sense.

Webb is a good choice. A former Republican with friends and influence on both sides. Edwards has already had his turn and as one poster said failed badly with Kerry. If not Webb than a woman should be named. NOT HILLIARY!!!
