I'm a fan of Richardson. He has a lot of experience, and has done a lot of diplomatic work.

He has no chance, I'm afraid, so my second choice is Obama.

Interesting he is more moderate than other Democrats. He is probably the best Democratic candidate after Biden.

I'm a huge fan of Richardson, did some really good work as gov of New Mexico, great at foreign policy and hispanic (meaning he can carry some western states). has some terrific ideas and would make a great president.

bad news is Hillary and Obama have all the money which means he has no chance.

My money is on him being VP or Sec of State in a dem admin

Let's see- President O'Bama, Vice-President Clinton, and Secretary of State Richardson- an administration that finally reflect the U.S. at large. It sure wouldn't be perfect, it it would be interesting. And Promising. And not the product of the Republican Party.

Agreed.

My dream team (outside of Ron Paul) would be Gore for Prez, Obama Vice. I think Obama is the catsazz, but he might be too young. 4 or 8 years as Vice would set him up (provided he did well, which I'm sure he would) for a very qualified presidential run in the future.

Most likely SecState in a 2009 Democratic Admin is Richard Holbrooke -- not Richardson or anyone else on the above list of current presidential hopefuls.

Kucinish and Paul are virtually twins, so why go with a Republican when you get the same basic platform with a Democrat?

I do not undersand the fascination. When I hear him speak, all I hear is, "When I grow up..." Idon't see the political wisdom nor the pragmatism needed for a president. Also, I don't see the dedication to the Constitution.
