8. Remember the SNL halloween sketch?
Richardson: "Hey Hillary... can I get you anything? More ice?"
H. Clinton: "Bill Richardson! What are you dressed as?"
Richardson: "Al Gore. Funny, huh, me dressing as a Vice President. But not that funny, you know?"
B. Clinton: "Hillary, he's just being nice to you because he wants to be your Vice President."
H. Clinton: "Bill, every time someone's nice to me you say it's so they can be Vice President. People are nice to you."
B. Clinton: "People like me."

9. It's interesting strategy, but the wrong one...
It would appeal to minority voters but alienate a lot of whites who are probably already on the fence. I hate to throw the race card, but as we've seen, there are many out there who are willing to do as such. I think a red state moderate would be a great pick as a VP, but I'm not sure if Richardson is the right choice...

14. Might be a great choice for Obama. (Still hoping Clinton wins, but if it has to be Obama)
Richardson has experience, so he can run things while Obama looks pretty and waffles. Plus, Richardson has a quiet, humble charm that will make people like him but not overshadow Obama--a key trait for a VP.

His weakness is that he doesn't bring much regionally. New Mexico has few delegates. Then again, it's been important in the last two elections, so it's not a state to overlook, as close as electoral counts have been lately.

Plus, I just like Richardson. I was planning to vote for him before he dropped out, even though I didn't think he had a chance.

21. Now that is a ticket that would put Limbaugh, Dobbs, Buchanan, and
Hannity on life support. They would positively stroke out over that combination.
