But someone on here (I forget who) had suggested Richardson as Obama's VP.

I have always believed the race would boil down to Obama and Hillary, but I'm not ready to write Edwards off just yet. Look at how much the political landscape has changed within the last week.

Interestingly I get more excited about Richardson as VP than as Prez.

Do we want a rock star or a problem-solver? But he WAS very flat in the debates.

He has no charisma, and no charm. Nice guy, but wet fish. Both parties value style over substance- Am's do it in all fields, not just politics, but Richardson absolutely sucks in debates.

OTOH, Richardson was mediocre in the debates and communicating an agenda is half the battle of the chief executive. His resume was the best out there of any candidate- but that was only on paper. I would have really liked to see him generate more interest. Its too bad that the Democrats seem to be obsessed with the cult of personality over real experience.
