Lets consider Governors of swing states that are Democratic, and also senators in those states...

I have also included people who would make that state a swing state.

GOVERNORS
Janet Napolitano (AZ)
Tom Vilsack (IA)
Bill Richardson (NM)
Ted Kulongoski (OR)
Ed Rendell (PN)
Phil Bredesen (TN)
Mark Warner (VA)
Jim Doyle (WI)
Bob Wise (WV)

lets eliminate Wise, Doyle, Rendell, and Kulongoski leaving possible governor VPs:

Napolitano
Vilsack
Richardson
Bredesen
Warner

Trim it further, lets get rid of Napolitano and Bredesen, which leaves three viable democratic governors as VP candidates, imho. Napolitano, Bredesen and Wise might be viable too, ish.

Senators next post

SENATORS
Evan Bayh (IN)
Jeff Bingaman (NM)
John Breaux (LA)
Robert Byrd (WV)
Mark Dayton (MN)
John Edwards (NC)
Russ Feingold (WI)
Bob Graham (FL)
Tom Harkin (IA)
Herb Kohl (WI)
Mary Landrieu (LA)
Blanche Lincoln (AR)
Zell Miller (GA) I remind, this is just the initial list...
Bill Nelson (FL)
Mark Pryor (AR)
Harry Reid (NV)
John Rockerfeller (WV)
Ron Wyden (OR)

lets cull it to 8:
Rockerfeller (WV)
Reid (NV)
Nelson (FL)
Graham (FL)
Edwards (NC)
Breaux (LA)
Bayh (IN)
Kohl (WI)

The four most-viable would be Bayh (IN), Nelson (FL), Rockerfeller (WV) and Graham (FL), imho. The rest of the last 8 would also be viable,m but less likely to make their states DEM then these four, and the rest of the country, i'd say.

Which leaves the MISC. section. That's basically only Gen. Clark and Al Gore. I'll start a new poll with these 10 names Smiley

Patton is no longer Governor of KY, and O'Bannon died last year.

I knew it was time for bed. Night guys Tongue

(When was Patton defeated?)
