Lol... I like how "none of the above" is at the top of the list.

should I be a hubdub jerk? ^_^

technically it can't be "none of the above" because there are none above it, and there will be a VP. Void the question I say, before someone loses their mind over this madness! lol

Also, to be nit picky, it should read "Democrat", not "Democratic"...

OK..this is really a short list of possibilties...after all, we know it ain't gonna be Barack...and most likely not Hillary (does not seem to be a love fest going on) . . . so we're left with the bearded Bill Richardson, the past VP nominee, and anyone else.

Maybe a little more interest in Edwards...take a look at this from Newsweek:

In an interview with NPR on Tuesday Edwards said" I don’t expect to be asked, have no expectation about it at all," he said. "[But] I am prepared to seriously consider anything, anything [Obama] asks me to do for our country.”
<<Edwards' open-door answer on NPR wasn't noteworthy in and of itself. Dispensing the usual "don't expect it, haven't pursued it" disclaimers, he sounded exactly like the rest of Obama's expectant veeps--Evan Bayh, Kathleen Sebelius, Hillary Clinton, etc. But that's the thing: until now, Edwards has consistently showed active, unbridled antipathy to the idea of reprising his role as the Democrats' vice presidential nominee .>>

So, does this up the chances for the boy from North Carolina...he'll carry 'some' weight in his state, as well as help out probably in WV and with lower income white democrats throughout the South in particular...

...after first seeming to take himself out of the running, he put himself back in the race two weeks ago, telling NPR, "I'm prepared to seriously consider anything, anything [Obama] asks me to do for our country."

Then this ...
http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2008/07/john-edwards-af.html

<<< still unconfirmed, and Edwards of course, is denying it >>>

But yesterday — the day the Enquirer story went live — the Rocky Mountain News reported, "former Sen. John Edwards told a Denver audience Tuesday that now he's plunged into a new kind of campaign, 'to end poverty as we know it in a generation.'"

"None of the below" is sounding like a lock.
