TAMPA, Fla. - Two familiar faces from the Democratic presidential race joined John Kerry (news - web sites) on Tuesday, and the talk was of tryouts for the No. 2 spot on the ticket.

"We're auditioning, want to put your name in," joked Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter.

Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) of North Carolina and Sen. Bob Graham of Florida traveled on Kerry's campaign plane and planned to join the presumptive Democratic nominee at fund-raisers in Miami.

1. Graham

Yeah, that will add some much needed life to Kerry's campaign. And Edwards, that will add just the right touch of security for the people to feel safe about electing Kerry. /sarcasm

Clark is the right man for the job.

2. Clark... YEA!

I'm glad they've come to some sense.

He would be a godsend with his military black book.... there would
be no charge of security that could not be refuted in shock and awe.

3. Go Edwards

A solid Democrat.

4. It will be Graham

Gotta have a Southerner on the ticket. Plus Graham's an authority on Iraq-gate.

But mostly because Graham's a southerner. Can't win without one.

5. I have always voted for Graham

Only because I wanted a democrat. But he does not have charisma. He might help take Florida but I do not see him as that large of an advantage.

I guess all I can say now is "anyone but Lieberman" I do not know who would be a universally accepted vp. We really need someone who would be strong.

Lots of folks have been trying to get McCain. I think Hagel as a repug would really pi** off the repug's and I like how he really tells it like it is.

I am in Florida.

6. Isn't North Carolina a southern state?

I'm hoping for Edwards, myself, but either way Kerry's unstoppable.

7. Clark is a Southerner, but more importanly he knows War

Sorry, but this Iraq thing could actually help Bush in the election. We need Clark to trump that.

Frankly, I think Clark is a no brainer VP pick for Kerry. If it ain't Clark expect a long night come Nov. 2nd.

8. Clark for Sec of Defense, or State...

Think he's awesome, don't get me wrong, but VP? No way.
