The other name is probably Wes Clark, Im guessing..

[oceanview]

it won't be Vilsack because nobody knows who he is.

so its down to Edwards, Wesley Clarke, and Hillary.

[Thebaddog]

Veep from Iowa? Boorrring.

[EllaMinnow]

Either Clark or my idiotic junior senator, Bill Nelson.

[Alberta's Child]

The other name is Tourist Guy, I think.

[counterpunch]

Clark?

Not bloody likely.
I'm guessing Gephardt.

[I_killed_kenny]

Can Wilsack carry his own state?

[Phantom Lord]

It doesn't matter who one pics as their VP. No Presidential election has ever been won or lost because of the VP. At best, one might pick up a couple extra votes in that persons home state and hope to not lose votes in other states by the choice. So in reality, the VP selection means jack squat.

Unless of course you pick some bumbling idiot who should be in an assisted living center like Perot did in 1992.

Who am I and what am I doing here?

[Dog Gone]

I hope it's not me.

[The Raven]

Iowa?? how many electoral votes is that?

[prairiebreeze]

Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack remains the front runner

Ahem, ping!

Prairie

[The Raven]

How about Hillary or Daschle

[Alberta's Child]

If Kerry picks Bill Sack, or Ball Sack, or whatever his name is -- I'd say this is a very good sign. This means the Kerry campaign feels the need to go the extra mile to win in Iowa. If Iowa is close, then a few other swing states are likely to be leaning Bush's way.

[Wings-n-Wind]

Surely I am not the first to consider the Klintoon.....

All that influence... "back on the road again" social life for the 'Toon... and VP's always under the press radar

Justa (bad) thought.... apols...

If he had half a brain in his head, his shortlist would be:

• Gov. Bill Richardson, D-NM - brings in Latino vote, also makes a dent in the West
  
• Gov. Mark Warner, D-VA - may make Bush spend some money in the south
  
• Rep. Harold Ford, D-TN - this is the fellow to watch if not now, but in the future; he is a serious contender to be the Tony Blair of American politics.
  

Fortunately, Kerry is obviously not that bright. Vilsack will probably get it because he is less of a threat to Kerry's ego than Edwards.

I have a feeling that if the Kerry campaign has actually leaked these two names (there are only two names), then it will end up being neither of them. They just want it to be a big surprise so the media can go ga-ga over it later.

[Keith in Iowa]

He can have Vilsack!!!

So we can be rid of him!!

[CWW]

My trial lawyer counterparts tell me that edwards has already told him that he's not the one. He doesn't strategically bring anything to the ticket either.

[pantseatflyer]

who cares.

[Use It Or Lose It]

Bob Kerrey or Up-Chuck Hagel. That will ensure a Bush landslide in Nebraska.

Is there anyone that looks like Oliver Hardy that is a possible VP candidate since F'n is a Stan Laurel lookalike.

[Izzy Dunne]

I'm in for Al Sharpton.
