A leader of the New Democrat movement, Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh is sometimes described as a "Republicrat." He's established himself as a centrist who seeks common ground with Republicans. In '98, after two terms as the state's governor and one term as secretary of state, he won the U.S. Senate seat once held by his father. After forming an exploratory committee, Bayh surprised many by not running for president this year and was on the list of possible running mates with Gore in '00, Kerry in '04 and Obama.

Acting is in Joely Richardson's genes. A member of the Redgrave/Richardson clan, she was a tomboy as a child and planned a career in gymastics. She grew too fast, and the plan changed. In the 80s, film became her life - from BBC dramas and theater, to feature films and American TV. British born, she considers herself an honorary American, since she attended school in the U.S. Richardson stars in the FX hit series, Nip/Tuck.
