Lots of options here.... men, women, blacks, whites, southerners, northerners, easterners, westerners, young, old.... starred choices are from "red" or swing states (and I didn't star everyone from every possible swing state, so don't jump on me about that). This doesn't imply any value judgement as to worthiness or unworthiness of anyone on the list, it's just a list. That being said, Byrd would be a HILARIOUS choice for VP.
