    Honestly, while there are things about both candidates that i like... having two young guys with no executive or foreign policy experience is probably not the best ticket.

    Just like Bush needed Cheney for his foreign policy gravitas, these guys, if either got the nomination, would likely need to find a democrat equivalent.

    Good question... off the top of my head I can think of two with great cred:

    Joe Biden certainly has the credentials, but he's from Delaware, so electoral college wise, he's not much of a help and has never really gotten traction in any of his presidential bids.

    Bill Richardson is a very good choice for VP, he's got the gold resume for that job, but he's kind of hemmed and hawed on his interest in national politics of late. He overcomes electoral college issues because of his Hispanic appeal.

    There are certain to be at least 4-5 others if I just put a little more thought into it, but that can get you started down the road.

    Both Edwards and Obama have to work against the senatorial curse in recent presidential politics as well.

    Not either or; Edwards for President, Obama for VP, in terms of winnability
