Dull is not my fear!!!
I do think Richardson will be the VP - he's already grooming himself for the job.
The only change might be - if the wind says we aren't ready for hillary - then Richardson runs for Top Job and hillary for VP - and in that case I would suggest Richardson never turn his back, his front, his side, or better yet just count how many days it took to rid themselves of Foster!!!
Richardson is certainly corruptible enough and obsequious enough and dull enough and fat enough (and hispanic enough?) ;)
One thing about Richardson that may be a disqualifier: he exudes softness--not the sort of affect people want in wartime.
