An Edwards/Obama ticket. Edwards has the fire in the belly that Obama isn't able to achieve and Obama has the ability to reach across the aisle, which Edwards doesn't care to do right now (nor do I wish him to). Obama also possesses the Oprah factor but Edwards would keep him from giving away the barn. As well, Edwards has seen the attack dogs up close and personal - he watched his running mate get swift-boated and he watched that same running mate make a horrible, irrevocable mistake by not slapping the other side down immediately. I have my doubts about the overly diplomatic Obama being able to keep from being run over by the crazy, foaming at the mouth, knuckledraggers that are the Republic party these days, but as a VP candidate, he'll get that experience without having to man the actual helm.

I think it's a perfect combination, and a Juggernaut.
