I just don't like Bayh whenever I read about him...I don't get a good feeling. Don't know, can't really explain it. I tend to think he is far too conservative to be to my liking for a politician but his credentials are there...just that feeling...
I really like Warner for reasons I have explained in this thread. Add on his credentials, the Dem from a Red State, his work on Taxes, his work on states issues in general and being a governor and he is almost too perfect a candidate-which is scary as well.
I agree with you on Obama that he is not ready yet (he is darn close or will be by then) and may become a minority whip for the Dems if he gets reelected. But I also have great respect for Edwards for the thing that many deride him for. His lawyering and debating skills are masterful, he knows how to work a room, he connects with people in a way normal people can't. He has that special "umph." Add on the fact he was a Dem in a Red State, has experience on a lot of different areas and is battle-hardened thanks to a grueling 2004 election, and I see him as my candidate if Boxer or Obama don't run (I love Boxer-political idol-maverick, liberal, and not afraid to speak her mind, which is what I like in a politician). Plus, it doesn't hurt that my boss is friends with him to the extent that they use each other for favors and my boss even lent him his plane.
