If anything, I hope the Dems have learned from the 2000 election that playing to the right won't win them any respect (or votes). Don't know much about Bill Richardson, but he seems like a great choice. From what I've read though, he may want to sit this one out so he can build up steam for a possible run of his own in 2008 or 2012. Ezra Klein has a pretty good "shadow cabinet" up at <a href="http://www.pandagon.net/mtarchives/001364.html" rel="nofollow">his site</a>. Though, as one commenter put it, the list is a "sausage party". There's lots of good suggestions in the comments there as well. I really hope he doesn’t pick Bayh.

We are one hell of a solid Red State in Presidential elections, and Bayh is just simply not popular enough around here to swing this state blue. Now, run Larry Bird or John Mellencamp and you got yourself Indiana my friend! I live in Indiana, and I don’t think Bayh puts us in play.
