	Dr. Melfi

Analyze this: From our five nominees, choose someone you believe could portray the calm, cool therapist who keeps helping Soprano despite her better judgment and chaotic personal life.

After voting for your pick to portray Dr. Melfi, we'll take you to the poll to choose who should play A.J. Soprano Jr., Tony's teenage son. Continue voting for your choices until you're done re-casting mob "hit."


	Mary Carillo Page 2's pick.

	Mia Hamm With all respect to Mary Carillo -- Lorraine Bracco has got it goin' on -- and so does Mia! She's the woman for the job. Only the best for my man Nomar! Tom O'Malley, North Attleboro, Mass.

	Julie Foudy Sexy, smart, intense. She's perfect for the professional female hottie. Timmy, Burlington, Vt.

	Jennifer Capriati All I could see in Page 2's descriptive paragraph was the phrase "Think Billy Crystal (from "Analyze This"), only with breasts and no sense of humor." So naturally, I thought of another Jennifer who goes by this description ... Capriati. Chris Bakunas, Lakewood, Co.

	Gabriela Sabatini OK, we cannot forget what the good doctor represents here ... a kind of professional competence and sexuality ... she's also the one woman who Tony wants and could never get his hands on. For some reason I don't think Tony's aching to get down with Pat Summitt ... I gotta go with Gabby ... now she could provide serious therapy. Steve Granelli, Syracuse, N.Y.
