I would say Edwards could have swayed some votes if he were the main man running. Clinton won because of charisma. So did Bush. Every year this comes out the same, the smart man wins the debates, the "commmon man" wins the elections. Americans are idiots.

Here are few things I think they would need:

1) A southerner or southern mid-westerner
2) A good military voting record
3) moderate cultural values (they don't have to be conservative)
4) A governor (senator's voting records tend to bite them in the ass)

I see nobody capable of beating Guliani in '08. Spitzer, Obama, Dean, and Clintion would all crumble. There are no good white male Dems anymore. Republicans rule Pres, the Senate, and the House for the next 8 years. Good God the Dems needed this one.
