23. I would get behind any of them
Edited on Sun Nov-07-04 11:40 PM by 69KV
So I didn't vote any preference.

My only preference is: not Hillary, because we'd lose for certain.

Best might be to put a popular governor at the top of the ticket, and a popular senator in the VP slot. Also split the ticket geographically; for example: Mark Warner (VA) for President, Byron Dorgan (ND) for VP.

I think it's more likely that a governor from a certain state will help us win, than a senator from that state.

Wesley Clark would be great as a VP nominee no matter who winds up at the top. But I don't think he'd be as good at the top of the ticket.

Here's a complete list of Democratic governors:

Some ideas come to mind from that list that might really help us take some difficult states:
Bob Holden (Missouri)
Joe Kernan (Indiana)
Bill Richardson (New Mexico)
Tom Vilsack (Iowa)
Mark Warner (Virginia)
others? - we have Dem governors right now in such unlikely states as Oklahoma, Wyoming, Kansas, Arizona, Tennessee, Louisiana, and North Carolina.
