In 2004, Graham had just had heart surgery in 2003. I don't think he was ever on the short list for VP, but Kerry did a great job NOT leaking who was considered. From all accounts, both the party (Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy included pushed for Edwards)

I have heard nothing from or about Graham for years - and if Obama nominated him, I would have no problem supporting him - though maybe you should be angry that he dropped out of the Senate, giving a seat to the Republicans. That would also mean you are consistent.

I don't have a problem with either Warren or Clinton. I think it may be that people, have seen HRC under the pressure of a Presidential campaign in 2008 and as SOS - and she has looked exhausted at points. Warren has NOT been seen under that pressure which is daunting at any age.
