Sen. John Kerry "is focusing on five potential running mates," Bloomberg reports. Campaign and party officials "familiar with the selection process" say the focus is on retired Gen. Wesley Clark, Sen. John Edwards, Rep. Richard Gephardt, Sen. Bob Graham and Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack.
"Kerry won't name his choice until next month, the officials said."
Kos makes an interesting observation: "The Democratic Party seems to be currently split in at least three factions -- the Dean/Gore people, the Clintonites, and the Kerry crew. Word is that to rally the party 100 percent behind Kerry, he can't nominate a Veep with presidential ambitions."
