<DIV>I lean toward John Edwards. He would have been much the best candidate in
2004, if his "lack of experience" had not been allowed to shove Kerry to the
fore. I suspect he could also have carried a couple of southern states. Barack
Obama may be the more charismatic candidate, and he has about as much experience
as John F. Kennedy did when he ran for president, but I don't know if the
substance is there or not. He is a fine senator, but that is a different job
than president. Among Republicans, I like Chuck Hagel from Nebraska.</DIV>
