Next to last profile of most likely picks. Tomorrow, Wes Clark.
Pros: Breadth of experience. State banking and insurance commissioner, member of the House for six terms, Senator. Served in Vietnam. Was at Yale same time as Kerry. Took a trip in the space shuttle. On the foreign policy, armed services and terrorism committees. From Florida, and more conservative northern Florida.
Cons: Not well known. Would have to step over Graham to be picked. Senate seat would go republican if the ticket won. No evidence yet that he would make a difference in Florida.
Outlook: If it weren't for Graham and the potential loss of the senate seat, would be right near the top. Fact he was at Yale with Kerry and served in Vietnam, like Kerry, shows the potential chemistry is there. Might play better in the rest of the south than Graham. Nonetheless, a dark horse unlike to be chosen.
