:) Of course, I can only give you the ones quoted in the article.

The Oklahoma party chair wants Edwards because he will help down-ticket and shorten Bush's coattails. The Texas chairman wants Edwards because people are familiar with him and like him. The S.C. chair wants Edwards too, for his vigor.

The Arkansas chair likes Clark, and thinks Clark would bring Arkansas (and I concur). The Florida chairman wants Graham, and the Louisiana chair wants Breaux and Landrieu to be considered. Of course, these guys know that their respective preferred candidates will bring out more people down ticket, so to a degree, they're looking out for many other races in their states.
