And yes, I have scenarios planned out for all of them.

Clark gives him foreign policy credentials, and could move states with large military populations (Virginia) into the swing column.

Wesley Clark picture is wrong. Napolitano is a 20-monther. This rule out her, although Sebelius can be on list too (she's from a safe R, but can help in Ohio). Although Warner is a 32-monther, he can be good to appeal to independents and moderates, helping to bring Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Missouri into play. Gephardt can hurt with some people that voted Nader 2000, but damages are only small.Richardson has foreign policy credentials and can bring Nevada, New Mexico into Democratic column and helps a lot into a fight for Florida. My top 3 list would be Clark, Warner and Richardson (this order).

I would suggest Warner, in order to bring in the moderates and independent voters. Richardson is a good choice, but perhaps he can help Wellstone win New Mexico without him being a running mate. As for Florida, pretty sure all the Jewish voters will come in droves to support the first Jewish presidential candidate!

My favourite here is Napolitano. But I'd prefer Sebelius.

Vilsack could be a great choice too, but geographically wouldn't be wise to have a running-mate from a Minnesota's neighbooring state..
