bill richardson is making calls...and l expect obama to pick up 2 more in colo on wednesday, in addition to the one last week.

l still thinking richardson or maybe schweitzer [mont gov] are front runners for the vp slot. especially given obama's western strategy.

it's just about over.

the revolution will not be televised...

I read somewhere today that Biden is the front runner for Sec of State. If that's true, Richardson must be the front runner for VP. I so want him to be. I think they'd be a principled, smart, compassionate, amazing team!

from your lips to obama's ear...l agree.

it'd put a lock on the west and then florida be damned.

The well sourced Steve Clemons noted after Richardson threw his hat in for the presidency that there's some personal baggage that may distract and harm his candidacy.

l've heard some of that from long time friends who live in santa fe.

according to them, they're nothing on the scale of the baggage that hillay and bill bring.

they think they'll be relatively easy to refute...whatever that means, as they are primarily personal misunderstandings as near as l can tell...and are overshadowed by his positives.

he would bring a great deal of foreign policy cred to the ticket, not to mention the latin@ vote. my observation is that he's been a pretty popular and effective gov.

sibelius isn't ready for prime time...that according to my bro and many, many old friends who still live in kansas.

we shall see.

the revolution will not be televised...
