However, Obama + Edwards is nearly unbeatable from that standpoint. Edwards is the 'safe' white Southern male candidate that makes Obama safer. That who my money is on, in any order: Edwards and Obama.

WORD.
I also think Colin Powell would have made an interesting candidate and possible president (esp. over Obama). Colin Powell's chances for ever running were screwed by Bush & Co. which is why he's been speaking out more and more. I'd love to read a tell-all book by him but a lot of the stuff is classified. Still, it would be a very satisfying read if he came out with the stuff he
could come out with.
