Picking Hillary would energize the republican base even further at this point.

Bill Richardson, and I would consider voting Obama.
 
The story line goes as follows: John McCain’s selection of Palin has generated so much interest in the Republican ticket that Obama needs to make a radical move to regain momentum.

This "story" is too old and out-dated to be plausible. Obama already regained momentum since the Palin selection. He's surged into the lead in most polls. McCain is the one looking to "regain momentum."
 
Unless Biden really does have health problems (which would need to be independently confirmed in my mind) swapping him out for another candidate at the 11th hour would make Obama look desperate and wishy-washy -- besides Biden gives Obama some actual credibility in foreign policy which just about no other democratic, short-list candidate could do (maybe Bill Richardson?).

I'm gonna call "shens" on this one.

I would have been scared shitless of a Obama/Hillary ticket.

Now, after he snubbed her once, I don't know if it would be the same if Biden just dropped out.
 
Richardson is the guy he should have picked in the first place.

Part of the Clinton administration, should appease some of the Clinton crowd.

Was Secy. of Energy and now hugely popular governor. Executive experience, and can bring staff to the administration.

Was also ambassador to the UN, so he has real foreign policy experience.

Would give the Dems a complete minority ticket. Race, sadly, matters. But CHANGE of this kind is real change.

He's also one of the true good guys in all of politics.
 
yeah i hought richardson would be a good choice too, sadly he missed the slam dunk with hillary, but if he can win it anyways, he will be happier than if he had won it with hillary.

It'd be crazy for a black and mexican to be running America. The thing with Richardson, is I think he's more energetic than Obama.

White America would tremble in fear for losing their power.

I welcome it!

Richardson isn't a Mexican, he's an American.

But yeah, I agree with the sentiment.

Yeah but...Richardson pissed off Bill when he endorsed Obama and not Hillary. Not a problem?

Shouldn't be. I don't think the Clintons hate the guy enough to torpedo him, and he was part of their administration which the voters will remember.
 
Bill Richardson was born at the Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena, California to Mar?*a Luisa López-Collada Márquez (born in Mexico City in 1914[2]) and William Blaine Richardson Jr. (1891–1972), a Nicaragua-born Citibank executive[2] who lived and worked in Mexico City for decades. It was his mother who largely took care of him during his youth. He has a younger sister, Vesta. Just before Richardson was born, his mother was sent to California, where her husband's sister lived, to give birth because, as Richardson explained, "My father had a complex about not having been born in the United States."[3] Three of his four grandparents were Mexican citizens, and he identifies himself as Hispanic.[3] Richardson, a U.S. citizen by birthright, was raised during his childhood in Mexico City. At age 13, Richardson's parents sent him to Massachusetts to attend a Boston-area preparatory school, Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts, where he played baseball as a pitcher. He entered Tufts University in 1966 where he continued to play baseball.

I wonder about his mom being "sent" to America........yeah.....
 
Born in Pasadena, he's American.

Maybe you mean he's hispanic.
 
I agree with Richardson. He would seal up Colorado and New Mexico (which it looks like Obama may have already done on his own). If Richardson could also bring Nevada into the Obama camp, then Obama wins the election. (Right now, it looks like Obama has shifted the electoral map to where he will get at least a 269 tie, but that map is hardly desirable, especially if Obama were to lose the popular vote and "steal" the presidency form McCain).

Hillary Clinton is an obvious stand in. Al Gore as a dark horse.

I think it would almost have to be someone for Clinton/Gore to step in to make things not seem so chaotic, but if Richardson secures the Southwest, then Obama will guarantee an electoral win.

I really think Obama was going to take John Edwards, and was planning that all along, but Edwards screwed that up for Obama.
 
I thought that Richardson made the most sense when Obama locked it up....in fact, when Richardson threw his support for Barat, I thought he was going to be th VP nominee. Hillary is too polarizing and Al Gore is too much of an environmental nutjob still.

from his wiki, i would guess that his mom just jumped the border to have him born in the US then came back to mexico after establishing citizenship?

My understanding is that if you're born on US soil, you're a citizen no matter who your parents are.

It's also my understanding that if you're a Mexican, you're a citizen of Mexico.

So there are no Mexicans living in America?

Depends where you're born and what citizenship you have, homey.

Born in Pasadena = American. By the same principle, I am not Norwegian.

Born in Mexico (or Norway) and came to the US but didn't (yet) acquire citizenship = not American

Bill Richardson = American

since Mexico is on the North American continent, I'd say a lot of Mexicans "live in America".
 
To agree with the several posters above me, yes there are Mexicans living here. Many illegally. They're not US citizens, but they are "Persons" according to the law.
 
Obama should pick the tall one:

Bill Clinton really knows how to hold a grudge.
