I've heard Bayh as a way to connect to the Clinton's. I don't think he offers much, but who knows. Other names I've heard are Napolitano or Sibelius as women governors who would be strong with the same demos as Clinton. Contrary to four or eight years ago the Democratic governor field is pretty deep. Jim Webb is also a possibility.
I love Ted Strickland as he's an old family friend, but he's not great on the stump. He's as honest a politician as I've met ad he's done great things for southern Ohio as a Representative, however, I like him more as the governor of Ohio than the VP. I'm not even sure how strong his support in Ohio is as he was lucky enough to run for governor the year the Ohio Republicans proved themselves both corrupt and incompetent.
