To date, the list of potential running mates is thought to include Edwards; Representative Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri; Governors Tom Vilsack of Iowa, Bill Richardson of New Mexico, Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania, and Mark Warner of Virginia; Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana; and retired Army General Wesley K. Clark of Arkansas.
A common refrain among those in each candidate's camp is that Kerry would turn to Gephardt for help in the Midwest, Clark if national security continues to be a dominant issue, and Edwards if the base needs a jolt of energy and the campaign wants to force the Republicans to defend territory in the South."
Story also highlights that Kennedy supports Edwards (he apparently wanted Edwards to be Gore's running mate in 2000 - interesting).
