VP PICKS!!

I, for one, don't think we'll see a VP pick until May. that being said, there is a lot of talk about WHO it could be. i list a few of the high profile contenders:

John Edwards (N.C.) -- He was the leading contender and has a lot going for him in that he's ready for TV and a very POSITIVE force. I think Kerry wonders about his strength (while i may agree, can you name someone stronger?).

Howard Dean (Vt.) -- WAS very popular, but too volitile and may take the spotlight. Kerry won't even consider it. (wisely)

Bob Graham (Fla.) -- Strong in Florida. this is a strategic pick to up Kerry's chances in Florida. Graham had a lot of positives for him when running for Pres, but he just never got off the ground. this would also help the Dems chances in the Florida Senate race Problem? He's retiring and he may MEAN it.

Mark Warner (Gov., Va) -- This is another popular choice for a middle of the road guy that increases your chances in a GOP stronghold (Virginia). I like him, but I'd like to see JUST how safe a bet this guy is (a look at his poll numbers in Va. would be a start). Not a Bad Choice and maybe geographic proximity makes Kerry feel better...?

John Breaux (Sen., La.) -- This guy is going out of the Senate at the top of his game. respected by most everyone, he's a dead moderate and appeals to the middle where Kerry has exposure. Breaux also offers pull in the south as well as a long history of being able to mobilize black voters AND white voters. Question is, does he WANT it?
