Who would match up well as Veep on an Edwards ticket?

[Beaker]

He's not as young as he looks, but he does have only the one senate term under his belt- you'd need someone with some experience, but not so much that he overpowers Edwards...any ideas?

That's the problem I see with an Edwards run- who to put on the ticket.
I think that Ford from Tennesee would be a good match, but I think that then the overall ticket would appear too young and in-experienced all the way around.
Graham from FL would make it seem like an upside-down ticket...

1. Wesley Clark. eom

[Bombtrack]

2. Clark or Graham

they'd give him needed Gravitas, and help him pick up other parts of the south

[DjTj]

3. Clark.

...maybe Kerry...

I think we would totally own an Edwards v. Bush debate - which one is more likeable? which one is the regular guy?

Also, a Clark v. Cheney debate - who knows defense now?

[anti-bush]

6. Cheney might not be Bush's veep

But regardless, Bush and Cheney are not formidable debaters. However, being the incumbents, they may decline any debates whatsoever. I wouldn't put it past them.

[spooky3]

4. too bad he can't have Lloyd Bentsen

"Mr. Cheney, I knew John F. Kennedy..."

[anti-bush]

5. Richardson n/t

[uconnyc]

7. Clark all the way.

Every Southern state will be in play and Bush will not be able to campaign exclusively in FL, PA, OH, etc.

[nancyharris]

8. Senator Dianne Feinstein

– It would set up an East Coast/West Coast team (instead of a North/South)

[DjTj]

12. ...interesting...

I actually first met Edwards when I was an intern in Senator Feinstein's office...

...I can't help but think that DiFi is eyeing the CA governorship though...

[PurityOfEssence]

14. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg!

Not her. We need someone with a backbone, personality, eye-contact, awareness and maybe some charisma. She's just another clueless ex-debutante wanderer of fortunate circumstances and middling centrism at best.

[WhoCountsTheVotes]

9. Kucinich!

Edwards/Kucinich, my dream ticket.

[surfermaw]

10. You are all wrong

Edwards, with a more experienced person, would be like the Clinton a small state governor, selecting Gore...a person with more inside experience in Washington...either Kerry or Dean.

[mouse7]

11. Joe Trippi

He's looking for job. What more do you need?

[robbedvoter]

13. Macauly Caulkin?

Sorry, I couldn't resust. I had visions of SNL and Dan Quayle played by a little blond boy in a suit - and Poppy would take him on his knees...

[Lex]

15. Al Gore.

What?
