Ugh...there's a reason Gephardt has run for national office six times (twice for President, four times for Speaker), and failed every time.  He is boring and has no national appeal....when will the rest of the Democratic party realize this?

I don't think it's a bad choice.  As I said before, a 2-3% boost in Missouri would go a long way.

But Edwards would give the same boost in Missouri, as well as every other swing state.

Edwards doesn't have the actual labor connections and he isn't a native of the state.  I don't think Edwards would give the same boost in Missouri like you say.

Lot of good those "labor connections" did in Iowa.  
Lot of good they did the Democrats in 2002.
