Definetly. Also Obama (2008), Landrieu, Giuliani, Snowe might do okay.

Why is Vilsack so commonly mentioned as a VP, but never brought up as a Presidential candidate.

That's more or less meaningless as Lieberman was leading in polls for awhile (I think even 6 months or so out of the Iowa primaries).

I don't understand why you like Clark.  Had he run for president in 2000, he'd have been a Republican.  He's a phony who became a Democrat as he saw a 2004 oppurtunity.

Mark Warner is the best option.

You could also argue that he ran on one of the most progressive platforms in the 2004 Democratic Primary.

I'm not concerned with his 2004 Democratic platform; it was a fabrication, a farce.  You can dig up all the Clark quotes you like, but remember, nobody can prove he voted for Reagan or Nixon or Carter or whoever.  we have to go by his word, which si a dangerous thing.  He's an oppurtunist and not a true Democrat.  I have no idea why the left likes him so much, they don't trust anybody, and he pulls 24% in a DKos straw poll.

You wont get an arguement from me there.  I agree with those points, but your completely wrong to assume he was ever a Republican.  His voter registration states otherwise.

Vilsack is from Iowa so has to be a good vp.

Rendell from PA so would be a good move if guiliani is nominated so the dems just have to focus on Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Clark makes the ticket look more solid on the foreign policy front.

Feingold would be a great pick if Warner or Bayh get picked to solidify trhe base.

Lincoln and Landrieu would all make good picks.

Keep an eye on Salazar as he could be the future president. Plus hes beginning to take on Dobson.

VOTER REGISTRATION ISN'T EVERYTHING.  He likely registered as independent to keep his options open. He's a smart man with ambitions and he knew keeping an 'I' was the smartest move so he could run under either party's nomination if the chances presented themselves.

Governors Ehrlich and Rounds (and hopefully soon to be Nussle) would be fine Veep Choices.

Actually, I think Senators and Ex-Senators are better VPs because they already have experience in the senate.
