Subject: RE: BS: And for VP?????
Richardson would also possibly be a good choice--especially in trying to anchor the Hispanic vote this year--which is likely to be essential. I wonder how many Hispanics agree with Carville's labeling of him. Obviously if many do, he'd not be a good choice. But since VP is often heir apparent, I'd think many Hispanics would be in favor of Richardson as VP.
His military credentials are not remotely comparable to Webb's. How important is that? And you balance the chances of helping to bring Virginia along versus the attracting the nationwide Hispanic vote---which of course should be happening anyway --if Obama comes out strongly for a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, without first insisting on the "border security" chimera, and pushes hard for real health-care reform--not the "market-based" reform McCain will offer.
