This race, more than any i have been able to vote in, is depending on who they pick for vice president. | ||||

As far as Biden, Obama is going to have enough to deal with this fall with Wright commercials, he doesn't need one's showing Biden talking about how you can't walk into a 7/11 without seeing an Indian-American or whatever he said awhile back. | ||||

Mr. foot in mouth is probably one of the most qualified there is, and I challenge you to find a politician that hasn't put their foot in their mouth. When he doesn't put his foot in his mouth he has great ideas. | ||||

| He has chronic foot in mouth disease. I really like Biden, but I'd be very worried about him saying something stupid (like the Indian and convenience store thing) that the Republicans would be able to focus on 24/7.. And, I don't know. People expect more from those they don't want to have a beer with. No one wants to have a beer with Richardson, and he was absolutely horrible in the debates I'd rather him be in the State department | ||||

| Obama presents himself as a new kind of politician who isn't corrupted by Washington yet. He can't choose Hillary Clinton as his running mate if he wishes to continue running on this platform. So I highly doubt he would accept Hillary Clinton as his running mate. I see him picking someone like Richardson or even Bloomberg. | ||||

| I doubt it. I think Obama elects Richardson and if he wins the election, then I think Wesley Clark with get Secretary of Defense or Department of Homeland Security (hopefully he axes this stupid program and merges it back with the Defense Department). | ||||

Not only that, the GOP would play all the Edwards attacks on Obama over and over again to show why Democrats shouldn't vote for Obama.
It would be too easy for McCain to basically say "Look what his own running mate thinks of him..." | ||||
