Sen. Evan BAYH (IN): Has a lot of appeal to small town voters and is from Terre Haute
 Sen. Joe BIDEN (DE): The Kinnock theft would kill him
 Gov. Rod BLAGOJEVICH (IL): Despite being a Chicago pol, did well in Southern IL. A former Reagan Democrat IIRC.
 Gov. Phil BREDESEN (TN): Not ideal (too pro-business) but is electable and pretty popular last time I checked.
 Sen. Maria CANTWELL (WA): Let's see if she can get re-elected first... still... she did beat that racist jerk...
 Gen. Wesley CLARK (AR): Needs to improve his campaigning. Other than that a strong candidate... although he's more likely to run for Arkansas Governer than President again
 Fmr. Sen. Max CLELAND (GA): I like him, but he's a bit over the hill now. Sadly I don't see a disabled man winning the White House :-(
 Sen. Hillary CLINTON (NY): I can't stand her
 Fmr. Gov. Howard DEAN (VT): Which Dean? Governer or 04 Candidate?
 Sen. Christopher DODD (CT): CT Senator. No chance...
 Gov. Jim DOYLE (WI): Don't know enough about him to be honest
 Sen. Richard DURBIN (IL): I like him... but he's probably too liberal
 Gov. Mike EASLEY (NC): Certainly not my first choice, but rural voters like him... one to watch
 Fmr. Sen. John EDWARDS (NC): No Comment (bearing in mind his wife's condition any political speculation by us junkies is morally wrong)
 Sen. Dianne FEINSTEIN (CA): Maybe. Not my first choice though... being Jewish could backfire sadly...
 Rep. Harold FORD Jr. (TN): I like him, but let's see what he does in 2006
 Fmr. Rep. Dick GEPHARDT (MO): He'd do well if he ever gets out of the primaries... but he just doesn't have enough money to compete in modern presidential politics. Which is sad :-(
 Fmr. Vice Pres. Al GORE (TN): Which Gore? President Al sounds nice though ;-)
 Fmr. Gov. Jim HUNT (NC): See Easley, Mike
 Rep. Jesse JACKSON Jr. (IL): No
 Sen. John KERRY (MA): Did better than I thought he would going into 2004 (I thought if he got the nod he'd get trashed). Doubt he wants another go though.
 Rep. Dennis KUCINICH (OH): No (although Reagan Democrats seem to like him)
 Sen. Mary LANDRIEU (LA): Maybe
 Sen. Blanche LINCOLN (AR): Maybe
 Fmr. Gov. Gary LOCKE (WA): Isn't he pretty unpopular? Besides being Asian would hurt... :-(
 Gov. Janet NAPOLITANO (AZ): No idea
 Sen. Barack OBAMA (IL): Not just yet...
 Rep. Nancy PELOSI (CA): She's a cunning old hag, but is a) female b) from San Francisco c) very liberal
 Sen. Harry REID (NV): I like him... how would him being a Mormon play though?
 Gov. Ed RENDELL (PA): Maybe
 Gov. Bill RICHARDSON (NM): Too many skeletons in the cupboard...
 Sen. Jay ROCKEFELLER (WV): I like the guy and he's certainly a competent administrator and understands the problems of mining communities (and would lock up WV), but he likes being in the Senate.
 Sen. Charles SCHUMER (NY): No
 Gov. Kathleen SEBELIUS (KS): See if she can hang on in 2006 first
 Rev. Al SHARPTON (NY): He's funny. I hope he runs again just for amusement value.
 Gov. Tom VILSACK (IA): Approaching retirement from what I can gather...
 Gov. Mark WARNER (VA): A lot of appeal to rural voters... he's planning a run for something, not sure if it's Senate or President...
 Sen. Ron WYDEN (OR): Wins by large margins in a swing state. Why not?

He was everyone's second or third choice. Of all the candidates, who actually would have done better?

I would have said Wesley Clark.  That's provided he could have pulled a decent campaign out of his...hat.

Imagine how the issue of Bush's TANG service would have played out against a decorated general.  I would have liked to see a group like the Swiftboat Vets try and fight that one.

Not only that, but come on - even Michael Moore liked him!  And he doesn't like many people!  Clark's not even that liberal either.

He made a major tactical error in Iowa and that was the end of that.

Flip flop can still be applied to him. No Vietnam record in the first place though. I figure he could win Iowa and Ohio, while losing New Hampshire.

He'd lose NH, but he'd win OH, WV, MO, IA and maybe AR and NM.

Problem is that the way money has taken over Presidential politics, means he can't get very far through the primary system... :-(
