A rather candid shot taken during Governor Richardson's endorsement of Senator Obama.

I wouldn't be disappointed at all to see both those names on a ballot in November.

If the biggest critique of Obama's candidacy is his lack of experience (and I would like to point out that many of our greatest presidents had only as much, if not less, experience as him - Abraham Lincoln, FDR, Woodrow Wilson...) Governor Richardson would certainly bring that to the ticket.

His accomplishments, in brief:

US Congressman, with plenty of foreign relations experience

US Ambassador to the United Nations

US Secretary of Energy

Governor of New Mexico

Yes, I think an Obama/Richardson ticket would be fantastic.

Obama / Richardson Ticket - Democratic Party Ticket
Clinton / Edwards Ticket - Independent Party Ticket
McCain / Rice Ticket - Republican Party Ticket
Nadar / Sean Penn Ticket - Green Party

My my what a time.

While I don't believe that Clinton would break so strongly with the party, as you've suggested, I will agree that would be one hell of an election.

Even though he's a liberal putz, I always liked Bill Richardson. He is wrong on the issues but I'd have a beer with him to let him know. ;)

Heh. That's how I feel about the president. I disagree with him on many, many, many issues, but I think he seems like a nice guy. Well, except for the Iraq issue. I can't consider his actions there as "nice".

I disagree with W on many issues in fact if I may quote myself:
