John Kerry - Yes (with reservations)
Hillary Clinton - No
Mark Warner - An strong yes
Joe Biden - No
Tom Vilsack - Maybe
John Edwards - No
Wesley Clark - Yes--as a VP
Evan Bayh - A strong Yes--as a VP
Chris Dodd - No
Russ Feingold - No
Bill Richardson - Yes as a VP--it's my understanding that Richardson has all of the Clintonian virtues and vices--a thorough background check is a must.  If he checks out OK, I would strongly support him.
Mike Gravel - No
Ben Nelson - No
Tom Daschle - No
Dennis Kucinich - No

Part of the key here is that it will be necessary to flip a traditional "Red" state--one big plus for Warner--a favorable key for Vilsack as well. 

Having been a governor is a big plus (Senators are too easily pegged as Washington insiders and many lack executive experience).

Also--geography is a huge factor.  John F. Kennedy will continue to have the distinction as the last northeasterner to win the presidency.  Coming from the mid-Atlantic is good; from the Heartland is a solid plus;  Someone from the West or South is also fine.  No to the far north; no to the northeast.

Ben Nelson-  No

Tom Daschle-  No

Dennis Kucinich- Yes, But He's Not Going to Win

Yeah, I threw in Spitzer too.  I think he's an interesting dark horse.  It's the contrarian in me. And I admire his reputation for taking on Wall Street crooks.

John Kerry - Not a chance
Hillary Clinton - If facing McCain or Guiliani.
Mark Warner - Definitely.
Joe Biden - No way
Tom Vilsack - No way
John Edwards - Maybe
Wesley Clark - Yes
Evan Bayh - Maybe
Chris Dodd - Haha

Bill Richardson - Will drop out, but he would make things interesting.
Mike Gravel - What?
Ben Nelson - No
Tom Daschle - It's over for Daschle.
Dennis Kucinich - He's on this list? Where's Sharpton?

Warner/Clark in '08!

Hillary Clinton - No

Mark Warner - Yes

Joe Biden - Probably not

Tom Vilsack - Probably not

John Edwards - Maybe

Wesley Clark - Maybe

Evan Bayh - Maybe

Chris Dodd - Maybe

Russ Feingold - Probably not, unless he gets married

Bill Richardson - Probably not

Mike Gravel - No, what office has he held since the Carter Administration?

Ben Nelson - Maybe

Tom Daschle - No way

Dennis Kucinich - Probably not

---------
So for me, that is:
Yes: 1
Maybe: 5
Probably Not: 5
No or No way: 4

ok, just kidding.

John Kerry - Good God no.  Please go into hiding in 08, and take Bob Shrum and his curse with you.
Hillary Clinton - No, but I think even us bloggers might underestimate her.  She's going to be a player like it or not. 
Mark Warner - Yes sir!!!  I like him at the top or bottom of the ticket!
Joe Biden - No thanks, I already have enough credit card debt with MBNA.
Tom Vilsack - I like him for VP, not Pres though.
John Edwards - Love his populism and charm, but i think he blew it taking VP in 04'.  So it's a maybe in 08'. 
Wesley Clark - Maybe.  I never got on the Clark bandwagon.  Just don't see the attraction.
Evan Bayh - nobody named Evan Bayh will ever be elected president in this day and age.  Sorry folks.  He needs to change his name...
Chris Dodd - Zzzzzzzz.
Russ Feingold - I love the man but I just don't think he could pull it off in the general election.  I give him a "maybe" only because I respect him so much...
Bill Richardson - doesn't he have a "Clinton problem"? (aka keeping his pants on)  if so, forget it!
Mike Gravel - Could he even carry Alaska?  Puh-leaze!
Ben Nelson - When you vote with the GOP on BOTH economic AND social policy, then why the fuck are you a democrat?  Forget it. 
Tom Daschle - Please God spare us all and don't run.  Listening to this man speak is like slow torture.  He just might be the most boring human alive. 
Dennis Kucinich -  Awww.  I love the lil' guy, but let's be realistic.  This country just isn't ready to elect a Hobbit as it's president yet.

John Kerry - No. He had his shot.
Hillary Clinton - No, too many people hate her and don't know why
Mark Warner - Yes
Joe Biden - No, he has no charisma
Tom Vilsack - No, see above answer
John Edwards -Yes
Wesley Clark - Yes
Evan Bayh - Probably not
Chris Dodd - No. Great senator, though
Russ Feingold - No
Bill Richardson - No, the GO-P hasn't forgotten those missing files at Los Alamos that disappeared on his watch
Mike Gravel - Who?
Ben Nelson - No
Tom Daschle - No, damaged goods, I'm afraid.
Dennis Kucinich - Definitely not. Too many Imus sound bites calling him the little Martian floating around the internet.

most MAYBE votes: Evan Bayh, Tom Vilsack, and Bill Richardson

John Kerry - Mebbe  I think he'd make a good pres, but I'm  not at all sure he could get elected - too much baggage, and there's that NE Senator thing.  OTOH he just barely missed breaking that curse last time, despite his best efforts to the contrary, and if RFK is correct, he did.  I like T, but she's a problem for voters who don't like strong, smart women.  If he wants to run, he should spend the next year practicing answering questions on everything in 100 words or so in 90 sec or less -- and no answers can match.

Hillary Clinton - No  Like Molly said.

Mark Warner - Yes  Not my first choice, though. 

Joe Biden - No  Not under any circumstances I can think of

Tom Vilsack - Yes  But he's not at the top of the list, or even close.

John Edwards - Yes  If she's OK.  He should wear out his passport between now and then. 

Wesley Clark - Yes  ****, smart, understands diplomacy, won a complex campaign without any flag-draped boxes (IIRC), and at least won't waste his forces like w.  Not a Senator, not from the NE, and I've never heard him say (or that he said) anything I really didn't like.  What's he done for me lately?  Dunno.  Long, happy marriage AFAIK.  Probably tentative #1.  It's early.

Evan Bayh - Maybe

Chris Dodd - Maybe

Russ Feingold - Yes

Bill Richardson - Maybe  If the gossiip has *anything* behind it, NO!

Mike Gravel - Got me on that one?

Ben Nelson - Like someone up there said, AYSM?

Tom Daschle - Maybe

Dennis Kucinich - No  Too good to win.  But one-on-one with
HC, or any other absolute No, yes.  But only if he loses that Cabinet-level peace minister thing - I'm not on that branch of the Left.

Barak Obama - Yes  Better not yet, though

Elliot Spitzer - Yes  And if he does as well as GovNY as I suspect he will, I might line up at the polling place some time in October when he gets tired of that.

POS Senator from CT - HC's only chance for a yes

John Kerry - No
Hillary Clinton - Maybe, but her negative numbers will have to improve
Mark Warner - Don't know enough
Joe Biden - Yes
Tom Vilsack - No
John Edwards -No
Wesley Clark - Absolutely
Evan Bayh - Don't know
Chris Dodd - Don't know
Russ Feingold - No
Bill Richardson - Yes -- probably my second choice
Mike Gravel - Who?
Ben Nelson - Don't know
Tom Daschle - No
Dennis Kucinich - No

How can you have two guys no one's heard of or will vote for, and not include Al Gore?  He says he's not running, but jeez-oh-petes, he'll get more write-in votes than Mike Gravel will by running.

And all bets are off if Gore runs, bc I am a "MORE GORE WHORE FOR SURE."

While I doubt he could ever win a primary, it's still fun to hear what everybody else's response is to him.

Jim Webb '06 & Jim Nachman '06; Wes Clark '08!

Neill

Hillary Clinton - No - A sure way to get Allen elected!

Mark Warner - Yes

Joe Biden - No - too familar - too tired- too many gaffes

Tom Vilsack - no - Even Iowa voters are saying no in the polls

John Edwards -no never.  The worst choice possible.  Voters will tire of him too quickly, his record is spoty at best.

Wesley Clark - Yes.  I am sixty years old and this is the most impressive candidate in my lifetime.

Evan Bayh - Maybe

Chris Dodd - Maybe.  Seems nice enough but there are others.

Russ Feingold - No

Bill Richardson - Maybe

Mike Gravel - No

Ben Nelson - No

Tom Daschle - Maybe - strong speaker

Dennis Kucinich  No.  The public will not give him the respect he might deserve.

Hillary Clinton - No, I don't want dynasties mixed in with my democracy.

Mark Warner - for VP only; 3 wars too many for him to win the top spot during the GE.

Joe Biden - No, my BS meter is set too high; in other words, I really can't stand him!

Tom Vilsack - Vilsack = Will Sack . Too timid and low keyed.

John Edwards - No.  3 wars too many for him to win the top spot during the GE (see "Bin Laden Tape" and other methods to scare the populace into voting GOP again).

Wesley Clark - Yes.  Can repair the damage done worldwide without relying solely on advisors.  A strong articulate Democrat who takes no shit! Last minute Bin Laden Tapes and other GOP tricks would backfire and help Clark.

Evan Bayh-Bye - No.  He's devoid of any leadership qualities and possibly lacks a real personality (thus far, from what I've seen).

Chris Dodd - Maybe, but he's another senator. I need to know more. 

Russ Feingold - Yes, but the mass voters will find him unacceptable; single, twice divorced, Jewish, 5'6", and has voted against just about every defense bill known to man.

Bill Richardson - No.  See Dr. Wen Ho Lee debacle/Chinese secret scandal, circa 1999-2000

Mike Gravel - ?

Ben Nelson - Hell, No

Tom Daschle - Loser!

Dennis Kucinich - Would love to, but don't see him as viable during a general Election.
