Obama/Richardson. That should cover it.

Hillary's campaign is in debt. She'll fight on, no doubt, but I'm calling it.

Blogtown PDX is weird. The authors there habitually reply to the commenters. Like they have entire conversations with them. As if they were, like, equals or something.

oh, dear...that's one sad little blog and as the proprietor of my own sad little blog, I know what of I speak...

whatever that means.

Slog is Miley Cyrus;
Blogtown is Billy Ray...

Exactly @1.

That's Vice President Bill Richardson to you, ECB.

Learn it.

Love it.

We're not just multi-ethnic, we've got policy experience running out of our ears now ...

Blogtown is fascinatingly dull; I can't stop reading it in a desperate attempt to find something interesting.

It's like Bizarro-Stranger, polite yet dull as opposed to rude, yet interesting (usually/sort of)

I love Bill Richardson. I am very excited about a potential Obama-Richardson ticket.

Obama should do rather well in progressive Oregon.

Blogtown needs a better name, and more rancor.

After Richardson's idiotic performance in the debates (ESPECIALLY the HRC-LOGO debate), I doubt that he'd be the VP choice.

Yes Richardson should be considered on the VP list. So should Clinton. Biden.
Others.

Obviously to minimize that 19% fall off from HRC supporters and get more votes in November, the wise move is Obama/Clinton, though.

(Remember the big speech earlier this week? Demonizing others = bad. Oh I forgot, HRC is not "other" she's sawn of satan, etc. So OK to demonize her. Got it.)

It's too bad the Richardson roll out was pegged to the race thing race...he keeps saying it was the big speech that tipped him to do it....the news keeps saying how cool it is this biracial guy supports that biracial guy......

what Obama should have done was have Richardson say "I've all this experience in foreign affairs and negotiating from strength/I'm choosing Obama for his foreign policy cred/he made right decision on Iraq/I vouch for his protecting America AND advancing our ideals" etc.

A missed opportunity.

Now why would Clinton want to share the ticket with a man she has specifically declared unfit for the presidency, unPC?

They definitely need a better name. I feel kind of embarassed whenever I go there.

HRC has no interest in 2nd billing.

thank goodness. Richardson will do.

Why settle for a woman who bakes cookies and chairs NAFTA committees, when you can get an Hispanic with real foreign policy experience instead?

unPC, you are like a cat. A cat who has clawed at someone's shoelace and who's claw is stuck. You just can't let go.

I haven't watched the video of the Portland speech yet, but saw Obama down in Eugene last night, the first time I'd seen him in person. He was amazing. Nothing you see on TV can prepare you for how charismatic and engaging the guy really is.

Loved it.

And, for all those who say his speeches are all just good rhetoric and no substance, I thought he made very specific promises. With the Richardson endorsement, I think he's got this in the bag. I can't wait for his inauguration day.
