So, how about Bill Richardson

A Governor, A westerner, half hispanic,

or is he too centrist for what we need to accomplish.

Mary Landrea (sp?) has really shown herself to be a fighter.

1. Evan Bayh

He'd make a good running mate for Bayh, but he lacks the charisma to head the ticket. He just doesn't have the right "look", Bayh on the other hand is the guy who could win, he's the closest thing we've got to Clinton out there.

2. I had heard (somewhere) that Bill likes a drink too much...

I guess someone in NM can clear that rumor up for us.

4. Well so did a certain AWOL frat boy until he found religion

If it's true all Bill should have to do is the same.

6. I met him at a Biden seminar a couple of years before I met

Kerry. He is a big teddy bear - sincere handshake and intelligent. If he drinks too much - it is not affecting his job.

5. Appealing ... but he could not deliver heavily Dem NM for Kerry yesterday

I know that will not endear him to many activist types.

7. NO

Richardson is a windbag. He's always pontificating, but never delivering. Remember he was the head of the DNC Convention and invented the "No Bush-Bashing" MEME.

I wanted to scream a few days ago when he was being interviewed on CNN. He said Bush was a really strong candidate (b/c of proximity to TX), but that it would be close.

Well your the effin' Governor. Deliver the damn state! That's one problem w/ Democrats - - no accountability.

8. Agreed

I always think of him as an appeaser who does not think quickly on his feet. He may be a nice guy but that's not good enough.

9. He has no personality. Apparently, America will only vote for someone

they like. We just have to admit it. We've got to have a charasmatic centrist who can at least get the office so that some of our agenda can be addressed. Just being real. This election will force us to self-examine and re-adjust.
