Bill Richardson for Veep thread.

[sharesunited]

Executive branch & international experience.

Energy Secretary.

Governor. Of a western state.

Hispanic.

No one doesn't like him.

Endorsed Obama at great sacrifice to his personal relationship with the Clintons.

1. If not VP, definitely Secretary of State.

[WinkyDink]

2. And he's hot with his new hirsute look! :-)

9. The beard's the thing that got me too!

And also his newly found joy--he looked quite liberated and happy when he endorsed Obama--set free!

3. I find him very unimpressive. n/t

[havocmom]

4. At his best, unimpressive

Heard he has a history of skirt chasing. Not what we need on the ticket.

5. I like him a lot lately.

I want to see how he is going to handle this South American crisis. I think my number one issue has turned into US foreign policy. How Richardson and Obama are going to handle South America will tell me a lot about how we intend to handle the rest of the world. Will we continue to oppress democracy in Latin America? Or will we treat them like dignified human beings?

6. I like what he brings to the ticket

which is his TRUE relevant experience, the fact that he could help shore up more Latino support, and the fact that he is Governor of a purple state. I do not care that he didn't fare that well in debates, he brings savvy and knowledge to the ticket. One caveat: I am not aware of his past dirt, if any.

7. yes, i hope Obama picks him

he is currently my favorite pick for vp.

[Moloch]

8. Bill "Its a choice" Richardson

would be a poor choice for VP. If he was at all energizing for the party, he wouldn't have done so badly in the primaries.

[shugah]

10. i like bill richardson

i like bill richardson. i do.

but, as governor of new mexico, he has already saved the world. i think we should let someone else have a go.

11. Excellent choice IMHO. Still waiting for Obama's call to me, though....
