15. hmm

Richard Gephardt.

Think about it: Major swing-state influence in Missouri, connects with Unions/working-class vote, a trusted name and democrat.

You don't lose a seat in the Senate or house, or a governor (which is needed in {R} states like Montana and Kansas to help turn them blue (50 State strategy at the more local level). He has also vocally distanced himself form the DLC, apologized for the vote over Iraq, and been vetted in previous Presidential campaigns. He also is the "bore" that some say would balance Obama's oratory.

What do you think?
