So no one else here things Gephardt would be a good pick? For Missouri, West Virginia, and Ohio, perhaps even influence western Pennsylvania...?
He's rather disliked outside his congressional district here in Missouri. We have a big St. Louis against the rest of the state antagonism here.
I really hope that Gephardt does not get picked. We need a newer face to the Democratic Party, and a Gephardt pick would be a tragic mistake. Luckily, I don't think Gephardt won't get picked, but I would start cursing at the Democratic Party for a few days if he did.
