Arizona
*Gov. Janet Napolitano-- I've heard her name floated before. It would be unlikely to have two people for Arizona running.

Arkansas

Colorado
*Gov. Bill Ritter-- He only got in last year. He's an unlikely choice.

Gov. Rod Blagojevich-- We're not going to pick someone else from Illinois.

Iowa
*Gov. Chet Culver-- He only got in last year. He's an unlikely choice.

New York
Gov. David Paterson-- He's been in office what, two weeks? Not gonna happen.

North Carolina

Ohio
*Gov. Ted Strickland-- He only got in last year. He's an unlikely choice.
