I did mention Hillary. She was Secretary of State (which would be a much better position for her than President, IMHO).
An Obama/Edwards ticket would be pretty cool. Both of them have experience and passion for poverty issues.
But frankly I doubt whether any Democratic candidate can win the South these days. Even Gore couldn't win his home state of Tennessee. The Religious Right just has too strong of a foothold down there. Frankly I think the South is a loss and any Democratic candidate is just going to have to win without it. But I think Obama can do that. I think he has a good shot of winning the key swing states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. If he can win those, AND all the ones Kerry won in 2004, he's got it - with or without the South.
Ah yes, i see her now! And i would quite imagine you are right; however, I am not so sure Hillary would go for that role. Afterall, "she's in and in to win".
I still have hope for the South...maybe its emerging
peace...

Man, you and I are funny. We care about this stuff. I don't know about you, but i do like Obama. He's real, he's honest, he's fresh.
However, he needs someone to help him win the south..who might it be? I think its Edwards. Yep, you heard it here first. Yet, a Gore Obama card is not out of the odds yet.
I am surprised you didn't mention HIllary. She'll be in there. She can't afford to wait another 8 years. And she'd be a liability for Obama.
Guess we'll see.
