If McCain is nominated for the GE.... |
|
...Richardson MUST be the Dem's Veep.
He speaks better on the subject of immigration than almost anyone, as the governor of a border state and a proud Latino to boot. I agree with another poster than this topic is McCain's Achilles heel.

1. Richardson is probably a reasonable VP choice for any number of reasons. |
|
If either Edwards or Obama becomes the nominee, Richardson's resume would help his ticket considerably.

3. Richardson is hardly comparable to Lieberman. |
|
People like him and respect him, and he's not a Washington insider--he'd balance the ticket nicely.
Plus, Edwards would be humiliated by running for Veep for a second consecutive time. Not gonna happen.

7. If Edwards isn't President, he should be Attorney General. |
|
As VP, he really wouldn't be in a position to go after the corporatists, but as AG, he'd be perfectly suited to do so.

9. Well, I'll just say it... |
|
John Edwards...Supreme Court Justice.
He would be awesome and I think he could get confirmed.

4. Well, if its Obama, that would mean an all-minority ticket. |
|
So I'd say, obese opportunity.

Said by a Jordan Marsh salesman to a cheating customer many decades ago. They made him apologize for saying it, of course. But I hope to make it immortal.

8. I think Richardson has a shot at the VP slot no matter who wins |
|
If not, then maybe Secretary of State.
