MSNBC Democratic Veepstakes: Week 2

[Erc]

The first week of the Veepstakes is over, and now we're on to the Sweet 16.

Vote for 8, one in each matchup.

Some interesting matchups this week...Clinton v. Richardson [A], Webb v. Biden [F] and Nunn v. Kaine [H].

We did choose differently in some cases than the MSNBC folks, and our choices are reflected here---we chose Ed Rendell instead of Chuck Hagel, Phil Bredesen instead of Jack Reed, Chris Dodd instead of Mike Bloomberg, and Brian Schweitzer instead of Tom Daschle.


Voting closes in a week.


In the meantime, on the Republican side it's down to the final four:  Pawlenty, Romney, Jindal, and, um, Colin Powell.

My votes

Richardson - decent choice
Clark - decent choice
Rendell - Ugh, not Bayh
Edwards - could be good
Dodd - Showed some leadership
Biden - better choice, I think
Sebelius  - could be interesting
Kaine - Not Nunn

[JSojourner]

Biden, Nunn and Schweitzer for me.

[King]

(A) Gov. Bill Richardson (5-NM)
(B) Sen. Bob Kerrey (6-NE)
(C) Sen. Evan Bayh (1-IN)
(D) Sen. John Edwards (2-NC)
(E) Sen. Chris Dodd
(F) Sen. Jim Webb (2-VA)
(G) Gov. Kathleen Sibelius (1-KS)
(H) Gov. Tim Kaine (3-VA)

These are not necessarily my 8 favorites, but they win the matchups they were put in.

Yarr that's unfair to put Schweitzer against Sebelius.  You're basically putting the #1 dark horse candidate who has a serious, serious shot against the fan favorite!
