VP Rankings Kentucky

Kentucky Democrats
Steve Beshear: Gov, Ranking: 4, Has served in several state offices, but since Obama has no chance of winning Kentucky, Beshear has no chance of getting on the ticket.
John Yarmuth: Rep Ky-3, Ranking: 3, Freshman.
Ben Chandler: Rep Ky-6, Ranking: 5, Could serve as an olive branch to Appalachia, but little else.

Kentucky Republicans
Mitch McConnell: Sen, Ranking: 3, I doubt McCain wants to tie himself too closely to the Senate leadership.
Jim Bunning: Sen, Ranking: 2, Too Old and may be going senile.
Ed Whitfield: Rep Ky-1, Ranking: 4, Elected in 1994 then disappeared.
Ron Lewis: Rep KY-2, Ranking: 5, Strong conservative who is leaving Congress anyways.
Ann Northup: Former Rep: Ranking: 5, Held a swing district for 10 years, but political stock is falling.
Hal Rogers: Rep Ky-4, Ranking: 3, First elected in 1980, but is 70.
