Bill Richardson for Vice-President Campaign Launched
A grassroots effort to get Bill Richardson nominated for Vice-President has been launched. I am totally jazzed!!
Please sign and pass it on to everyone you know.
Here is the petition:
Governor Bill Richardson recently dropped out of the race for the Democratic Nomination. There is not a reason in the world why this former Congressman, US Ambassador to the UN, US Secretary of Energy, and current Governor of New Mexico should not be chosen to be the Vice Presidential Candidate for the Democratic Party.
Please join me in signing this, and sharing it with other supporters!
Let's spread the word and get as many signatures as we can.
Here is the correct link for the petition:

From William Cerf:
In my view he IS the best candidate for Vice-President of the United States I’m deeply sad that he has decided to drop out of the Presidential race. He does however have his priorities straight. Convening the new session of the New Mexico state legislature is his top priority. Taking care of business on the home front is his top priority. If he were Vice-President of the United States, his top priority would be to take care of business. If you think about it, that has always been his top priority; which is why he is such an effective person; as an international negotiator or any other post he takes. It does not really matter happens during the silly season that some folks dignify by calling a primary nominating process; I’m going to work to get Bill Richardson on the Democratic Party ticket. I want the wonks who look at such things to know that this is the kind of person I want as my Vice-President. Additionally, I have a lot of friends and acquaintances who busted their guts in miserable weather to get him on the ballot in New York State. I want that to count for something; this is just the beginning!!

Candidate Watching | Grassroots Effort - Bill Richardson for Vice President
Agreed

Until recently I would have said Obama needs someone like Webb on the ticket, a tough white guy to reassure more traditional voters. But now I am not so sure. I think American voters have finally matured enough to recognize that Obama/Richardson really would be a dream team. I still think Obama will go with a tough white guy, but we'll see.
Richardson for VP
I completely agree that Richarson would be the best choice for vice president if Obama wins the nomination. He can attract the Hispanic voters, which have been in Hillary's camp, but that's not the main reason he would be a good choice. He also has the best resumé of interntational experience of all the original presidential hopefuls.
I'm going to vote a straight Democratic ticket (even though I'm a Republican), because the Republicans have screwed up so badly in the last seven years, but I would like to see a dream team, and Obama and Richardson would be such a team.
