will continue to be a racist asshole no matter who his running mate is. The best way to compensate for that is to draw votes from a new constituency: either, say, national security-minded indies, or Latinos. Webb would be an excellent choice for the former, but Richardson would likely draw even larger numbers of Latino voters who might have stayed home otherwise.

You might want to check your math, by the way. Last time I checked, 20 percent plus 20 percent does not equal an election.

Oy.
