Still possible though. I've updated the original posting with their names though. John Edwards - Senator of North Carolina. Edwards was the running mate of John Kerry back in 2004 and he had an unsuccessful run for President this year of 2008. Although I like Edwards and he would help in the state of North Carolina and with blue collar voters, he doesn't do much to help Obama's foreign policy credentials and it doesn't seem like he has much interest in running for VP again... Tim Kaine - Governor of Virginia. Although Virginia is a swing state, its definitely leaning to McCain and there isn't any evidence that Kaine would definitively bring his state over to the Democrats. Once again, he also doesn't bring any real foreign policy credentials to Obama's side. Mark Warner - Former Governor of Virginia. I would say about the exact same thing as I said about Tim Kaine. Although Warner was a potential 2008 candidate, he decided not to run. He also may be seeking the open Senate seat, which would pretty much take him off the VP list.
