DescriptionA few days before Sen. John Kerry picked John Edwards as his vice presidential candidate this summer, Republican pollster Frank Luntz was asked by a TV network to test the appeal of seven potential running mates.

Luntz read a description and played a video clip of each of the Democrats to a group of swing voters. The voters liked Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh the most.
