ahhh yess. The perfect liberal ticket, a woman and a black man. How will people resist? Feminazis, woman, blacks, Gay, lesbian, bi, transgender, the academic elites, environmentalists, pro-hamas, pro-hezbollah, moveon.liers, and the indoctrinated youth of today will worship at the alter of Obama/Hillary. But if you were to speak out against such a ticket, you will be labeled a racist, sexist pig; a heretic amongst the liberal intelligentia.
You have to admit it, the liberals are quite sly when it comes to the game of political warfare. The GOP might want to take a few lessons from the left and start using this weapon against them. |

Nah. To put it bluntly, they need a white male on the ticket. Preferably from the South. |
Yes. Jim Webb will be the D nominee for VP in '08, with whichever one of these above takes the nomination. |

I think that whichever Democrat gets the nomination would be foolish not to consider Richardson first for VP. He's hispanic, a westerner (an area where the party has been weak, but showed potential in recent years), a successful governor of a (small) swing state, and someone with extensive international experience. I think whoever the Dems choose would be made stronger by Richardson as VP.
Tiger Beer, Bush ignored people from his father's administration and largely brought in people from the Ford years - Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. That was their formation, and what has hardened their (especially Cheney's) resistance to what they see as restriction of the executive.
EDIT: And the people are with me (from Nick Kristof's column in the NYTimes today:

Right now the pundit with perhaps the most outstanding record thinks Hillary Rodham Clinton has the best chance of becoming president, with Bill Richardson enjoying the best shot of becoming vice president.
That pundit is not a human but rather Intrade, a political betting Web site (www.intrade.com) that has regularly proven more accurate than polls and political experts alike. In the last presidential election, it called the winner accurately in each of the 50 states.
That�s a tribute to what is called �the wisdom of crowds,� the notion that the collective judgment of many people is typically more accurate than the judgment of even a very well-informed individual. If you collect a bunch of guesses about, say, the weight of an ox, the average estimate will be eerily accurate.
For the record, Intrade�s bets at this very early stage give Mrs. Clinton a 27 percent chance of becoming president, followed by Barack Obama and Rudy Guiliani, each at about 20 percent; Fred Thompson, 15 percent; and Mitt Romney, 8 percent. |

I just would like to say that is very smart post. �the wisdom of crowds " is a very accurate way to predict things. |
