To run for higher office. Especially one who has been in the national spotlight.
"There is a difference. By your logic, then that disqualifies Gov. Vilsack who "didn't deliver Iowa" or Gov. Napolitian who "didn't deliver Arizona", or The Democratic Governor and Senior Senator from NC who "didn't deliver North Carolina.""
Richardson has been in the spotlight and is well known by Americans. Obama on the ticket kills the perception that the Democrats no longer care about minorities.
Richardson would deliver and Obama will make a difference in states like Florida, Missouri and possibly Ohio. Plus Obama is still young enough where his persona and ideology can be molded to better identify with the country.
Recycling what we have now will not win us the White House. We need to start thinking outside the box and come up with candidates who can represent America.
