towards Richardson mainly because I was not impressed with his debate performances and didn't think he would make a strong presidential nominee. But the VP slot is a different kettle of fish and I think Richardson could well complement Obama on the ticket.
Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States

the VP doesn't need to connect. They're like insulation. You don't connect with insulation.
The irony is Michelle's story only happens in America, according to its most fervent patriots. Cindy McCain's happens in any country with concentrated wealth.

the idiot Lieberman not winning a single debate with Cheney! He appeared to be hero worshipping the guy during the debates. Now we can see he probably was.
I think part of what got Bill Clinton elected was having a similarly young, energetic running mate. They seemed to speak to the new generation taking over and that is what we need now. So I wonder if Obama needs to find someone like himself, but then there isn't anyone.
I am going to trust Obama to find someone good.

Picking Lieberman was a huge mistake. In the VP debates, Cheney claimed that the money he had had nothing to do with the government. This gave Lieberman the opportunity to challenge Cheney, as he had made an awful lot of money from Haliburton's government contracts. But of course, Lieberman wasn't going to do anything but roll over.
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
