Polls show Edwards leading among voters as a potential Kerry running mate, with 43 percent of Democrats favoring him and 36 percent of all registered voters supporting Edwards. Gephardt 19 percent, Wesley Clark 18 percent, Tom Vilsack 4 percent, and 28 percent unsure or offering other names. The adviser calls polling on running mates soft and unreliable until voters know the candidates better.
