is there anything more immature and juvenile than quote-editing?

Teens who post with a bunch of adults?

Or maybe it is people who like to call everyone a bitch and the people who support them? :lol2:

Richardson Throws Support to Obama

"Your candidacy is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our country, and you are a once-in-a-lifetime leader," said Richardson, the nation's only Hispanic governor, before a cheering crowd of about 12,000 in Portland's Memorial Coliseum. "You will make every American proud to be an American."

I find this very interesting. Richardson was on my short list of candidates I would have liked to see win among Democrats and Republicans.

He has one of the best resumes of any of the candidates. He's both Hispanic and a border state governor, giving him a unique perspective on immigration.

He's also a (now probably former) friend of the Clintons. I'm still on the fence, giving equal weight to Clinton, Obama, and McCain. I have to say though, that if Obama picked Richardson as a VP, he'd probably leapfrog over anyone McCain would pick, especially since Condi has carried too much water for Bush and Powell seems reluctant to run.

Many of the former shining stars in foreign policy are too old or too burdened with baggage to pass scrutiny as a VP candidate. McCain and Obama both need a strong foreign-policy VP - someone who can negotiate or show a presence where the Secretary of State isn't enough.

This is getting interesting.

I have to agree. I am anxious to see who Obama is going to pick. There is no way I can vote for Hillary. Obama needs to think long and hard about who he picks as his running mate, a good choice will seal up the election for him. I would love to see him pick Richardson but I don't think he would do it.

My opinion is the best person Obama could pick as a VP would be John Edwards. If not him, than Al Gore. :)

Why wouldn't you want him to pick a staunch libertarian? After all, there's no way he can lose the election to McCain no matter who he chooses, right?

Anyone who thinks otherwise is stupid and a moron. and they probably smell bad too.

I don't have time to come back and post later so I'll just make sure you know my statement is true here and now.

HA! It's repeated AND in bold. You can't get truer than that.

I wasn't aware there were any staunch libertarians in the Democratic Party.

Clodfobble 03-24-2008 03:39 PM

I wasn't aware he was restricted by law to pick a Democrat.

Radar 03-24-2008 03:47 PM

He's restricted by law and the bylaws of his political party to pick a Democrat. It is the Democratic Party ticket.

Well he talks a good talk. And any Gov who is willing to send troops down to shut the border from the illegals pouring across can't be half bad. Now if we could just get the rest of the Gov.'s on board we might be able to control the illegal immigration problem in the US.
