Good: Obama - A rising star of the party. His lack of experience in Washington will more of a blessing than a curse, as I bet the general public is going to be very tired of D.C.-types by 2008 rolls around. If he's an excellent choice for the ticket, be it for Pres or V.P.
Clark - Another non-Washington type. Military background will be helpful winning over red states. Perhaps better used as the running mate if not the candidate.
Gore - Although a career politician, but being eight years removed from Washington will help. He can probably best capitalize on any anti-B*** sentiment also, which, by '08, will probably be massive. His famous lack of charisma would need to be dealt with though.
Bad: Kerry - No matter what excuses we may have, truth be told, he blew it in 2004. He epitomizes the "Do Nothing" Democrats that let BushCo brutalize everything America stood for at home and abroad. Unable to capitalize on a weakened B*** and ineffective to counter attacks by his cronies.
Edwards - Though not a member of Congress now, he's not far enough removed to escape any anti-D.C. sentiment. Plus he would be probably have difficulty winning over swing states.
Biden - A Senator for 32-years. That alone should be reason enough not to pick him. At best, a V.P. candidate if the nomination could be viewed as lacking experience. Ugly: H. Clinton - Polarizing figure that'll alienate EVERYONE. She will not get any support from the right side, and I doubt she'll get much support from the middle. To highlight one of the ways she'll alienate her own party, Hillary, along with Lieberman, is one of the few politicians who has allied themselves with the lunatic, anti-gaming lawyer Jack Thompson. She has more liabilities than anyone, so picking her would practical guarantee four more years of a Republican in the White House.
