Yep, JMF, Jerry Springer would be a great Ohio VP now that you mention it.

If Edwards has to drop out he would most likely take the VP spot.

Edwards would've been defeated for reelection to the Senate.  He brings NOTHING, not one single state, to Kerry.

All of these candidates know that either Hillary or Gore is going to the nominee in 2008.  Accepting a VP slot does nothing for Edwards.
Do you think Gore could win in 2008?  I don't.

Edwards would have been in a close race for senate re-election, you can't definitely say that he would have lost it.

How about Tom Hrkin for a prominent Democratic midwesterner? Been a senator for IA since the 80's and before that he was in the house for a decade...

Lane Evans from Illinois has also been around since before I was born...
Harkin is too liberal.

If I was the Dem nominee I would definately select a southerner for a running mate.

He's a little out there, but I think Bob Graham could be a great VP for the dems and could give them a *shot* at Florida.  

Not much long term mileage out of him though.
Florida's big, 27ev's.  bill Nelson may be the better choice out of FLA.

Florida isn't really the south, remember, lots of my relatives live down there, from NY.

Graham isn't that popular in florida anymore, he turned people off with his bush bashing.  Nelson voted for the war, which helps the floridian cause.
