Bill Bradley fits the profile pretty well, in my opinion. Here is some info. I've gathered. Like Clinton, Bradley was a Rhodes Scholar, but unlike Clinton, he actually took his MA at Oxford (Politics, Philosophy, Economics), before going off to play for the Knicks. In the Senate, he was on the Energy & Natural Resources Committee, and on the Finance Committee. He took a special interest in international trade, and co-authored a book on the subject. Served on GATT's international advisory panel. Has a long time affiliation with Stanford's Institute for International Studies; a member of its International Advisory Council. In 1997-98, after retiring from the Senate, was Payne Distinguished Professor there. For 11 years, was co-chairman of the US-Japan Forum, which brings together legislators from both countries. Now, together with former SEc. of State George Schultz, co-chairs the Asia/Pacific Leaders Roundtable, an expanded version of the above. Again, with Schultz, supervised a study recommending policy changes towards the area. Has also taken an interest in Soviet and post-Soviet affairs; co-author of a book about Gorbachev-era "new thinking." There is probably more, but I did not do much of a search. Right now, of course, the contenders are all focusing on their domestic policy credentials; but I doubt whether any of the others have dealt with/thought about foreign policy questions as much as Bradley has.
