Reply #22: I think both Warner and Feingold are good veep possibilities.

If it comes down to Hillary vs. Kerry, the average Dem's reasoning (not a DUer--I said average) might go like this:

"...Kerry? But he already ran and didn't make it. Nice guy though--I voted for him once before. And you know, he almost did win. We know Bush lied about stuff--probably about Kerry, too...

Hillary? She might be okay--if Bill helps her out. He was pretty good for the country. Of course that was before 9/11. What about the War on Terror? She doesn't know so much about foreign policy, does she? Can she be tough enough to handle all of today's threats? Is it smart to have our first woman president during times like these?? She's only been in the Senate for a few years...

Hmm. Maybe Kerry would be the better president. He sure seems smart, and has a lot more experience than Hillary does. When he talks he makes a lot of sense. More than she does..." ;)

note: I'm adding in a fair amount of sexism here, because I think that's where most people still are, out here in the Midwest.
