It will be Richardson. Not Obama because they reason correctly that they already own anything he might bring. Not Warner or some southerner because it wouldn't work and they don't need it anyway. Richardson. Take it to the bank.
Now that I think about it again that makes absolute sense. While Obama brings nothing to the Mrs. Bill Clinton's candidacy, Richardson will deliver a huge chunk of Hispanic voters that Mrs. Bill Clinton currently cannot reach.
I also think it’ll be Richardson. New Mexico has been a swing state last couple of go rounds.
Obama's main asset is not blacks - it's guilty whites, and in this regard he's just like Deval Patrick and Harold Ford, junior.
All three are nontraditional "black" politicians swept into office (or nearly missing it, in Ford's case) by white votes.
Hillary needs to overcome the fact that her "never vote for" numbers are too high. She cannot do this with any white VP nominee.
I disagree. Clinton does not own the anti-war left with her position on Iraq.
Obama gives her the anti-war crowd and negates any attempt by a third-party candidate.
