Is This The Ticket?

[Liberalboy]

Is this the ticket? Richardson will motivate Hispanics, boost turnout in battleground states, and brings Elder Statesman and Foreign Policy to the table

Thoughts?

1. That would be a dream ticket for me.

I think Richardson would be a very valuable asset in Florida and New Mexico.

[JVS]

2. I'll vote for it.

[LakeSamish706]

3. One certainly would hope so... If I were a betting man I would say yes. n/t

[stop the bleeding]

4. a new chapter in American politics

:beer:

edit: to take out spell check comment

[Johnny__Motown]

5. I wish, but I doubt it

[kirby]

6. That would be awesome...

I really like Richardson too. Especially his knowledge of how behind we are in science education.

On a shallow note, he looks good sporting the beard.

[Yael]

19. I'll be shallow with you so you aren't alone

The beard is a great look for him. :thumbsup:

24. totally

7. LOVE that photo!

:D

[high density]

8. They've got my vote

Sounds good to me.

[City Lights]

9. Works for me. Great pic! eom

[gateley]

10. I'd love to see that! nt

[Double T]

11. Sure. If YOU want to ensure a LOSS in the GE.

Despite what obama and richardson 'think', this political election is NOT about race.

[virtualobserver]

16. they don't think that

regardless of what you think.

[SunsetDreams]

20. really?

so it's okay for Hillary for months and months to tout getting the Hispanic vote, but if it's suggested by an Obama supporter regarding a Obama/Richardson ticket, you say it's not about race?

:crazy:

[virtualobserver]

12. a dream for us- a nightmare for republicans

[olkaz]

13. There was a poster earlier saying Richardson has too many skeletons in his closet.

I think the top two choices are Biden and Webb.

[grantcart]

14. Si si puede

[Yael]

15. I would LOVE that ticket

Our slate was amazing. Biden for SoS, JRE as AG, Dodd as Majority Leader -- can you just imagine it?

[babylonsister]

17. They were both great today. I have faith in Obama's instincts,

so I trust I'd like whoever he picks.

[patrice]

18. Don't think so.

Unless it creates a voting block that is bigger than all of the "not necessarily Racist" but FREAKED OUT nonetheless white folks whose paranoia will double without a white person on the ticket.

[El Supremo]

21. Two minorities? Forget it.

I'd vote for them, but that would be disastrous for the GE.

I'd like to see a Gore/Richardson ticket or an Obama/Edwards one.

[Mike Nelson]

22. I'd say Richardson would be considered a VP choice

absolutely. It has to have crosssed their minds, one would think!

[Rhiannon12866]

23. That would work for me, but would it work for Richardson?

I'm a Kucinich and Edwards supporter, but the handwriting's on the wall on that one... But anyone who says that Obama lacks experience would have to admit that Richardson makes up for that, has a lot of experience in several areas, more than the other candidates. The only thing is that Richardson previously said that he has no interest in the second slot. He was running for president, but is more than happy in his job as governor. Time will tell... :shrug:

[2rth2pwr]

25. I'm curious, what evidence is there that Richardson

motivates Hispanics?

[Liberalboy]

26. Most Hispanics I knew in Colorado

really like him and support him. My last check he was quite popular in his state as well

[2rth2pwr]

27. I'm Hispanic and spent 10 yrs in Albuquerque

and Rio Rancho, and I thought he looked half drunk through the Presidential debates I saw him in.

[WinkyDink]

28. I think the facial hair---which I really like---on Richardson is a change for that purpose.

[Sparkly]

29. At the risk of being accused of "ageism," I hope not.

I think Richardson is past his prime. He didn't seem really "with it" to me during his campaign this time -- too many odd answers, "not hearing the question" episodes, etc.
