I've a hunch it's Bill Richardson.

2. She may want Richardson or even Strickland
but she needs Obama.

10. It still amazes me people can't figure this out
If your thread is about the Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses, or about any of the candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination, or anything remotely related...

Please post in this forum: GD: Primaries

14. He endorsed her early. He has
strong military credentials. I suspect he's at the top of the list.

25. That's the ONLY thing that would make me enthusiastically support Hillary.
If she taps Wes Clark for the job, I'll be working/volunteering for her campaign the day after it's announced.

6. I hope Obama won't mix with her administration if she wins and if Edwards does
then I was wrong about him for 4 years.

12. This is interesting -- Jane Hamsher from firedoglake was on with The Young
Turks. She thinks the reason Kennedy supported Obama is to bring up his votes and essentially pressure the nom to combo the ticket, so there's no party split.

For example, if Hillary gets the nom, she picks O for VP because the party will need the supporters of both in order to whomp the Repugs.

15. Me
I'm the obvious choice.

- I live in the South but have roots in the North.

- I'm a fresh face.

- I'm a terrific public speaker and reasonably charismatic

- I light on my feet and almost totally unflappable

- I take the issues, not myself, seriously

- And I can use a job paying that kind of coin, with those kind of bennies.

What's not to like?

Hill, call me.

18. If she ganers the nomination she should chose Obama.
I suspect that she will chose Richardson for his expertise & Latino votes.

21. I hope it's not Bayh, I've been worried about that. He votes with
the Repbs too much, I've e-mailed him several times he never responds. 1 time I asked him to run as a Repb so we could have a real Dem.

27. I hope it's Obama or Edwards.
I don't think Richardson would really help her that much anywhere.

Edwards would bring a lot of progressives and labor people back on board, and Obama would be a very positive Unity move.

What purpose would be served by a Richardson pick? Winning New Mexico's handful of electoral votes? Solidifying the hispanic vote, which Hilllary already pretty much has? Increasing her appeal with right-leaning dems? She's already kinda got that...
