Maria from Voto Latino said something very interesting on Hardball right now...

[Coexist]

that Bill Richardson has enormous pull with the 40 or so Latino Superdelegates.

Take that, Penn.

1. richardson is angling for or has already been promised VP IMO nt

[Coexist]

2. I would be okay with that.

[Adelante]

3. I doubt it

I don't see a two-minority ticket, it might be pushing the envelope farther than the party is ready to go; though Richardson is a very good match in other ways. I think he will serve in the Obama administration, but not as VP. That will be a white guy, I expect, one with national security cred.

6. I agree - although Boxer would be a good match

[DJ13]

7. I don't see a two-minority ticket

See, thats the thing.

Most white people (myself included) dont look at Bill Richardson and see a Hispanic.

We see a guy who would do his best for our country.

Honestly, his race wont be as much of a negative as many people think.

[Coexist]

8. I like him

and I'm white.

[Adelante]

9. I adore the man

I still don't think the party would go for it. I imagine making the leap to a black nominee is crossing a big enough chasm for the time being. They will want to balance the ticket with a white guy to offset McCain. Maybe I am wrong and you are right. But I don't think so.

15. I too believe that Americans see the destruction of our country...

and will vote for anyone that supports...we the people!

[morningglory]

20. Speaking as a "typical white person" I don't see a minority when I look at Obama,

I see a smart, calm, competent, statesman, christian, father and our next president, who may give us a chance of gaining back some respect from the rest of the world. I am just praying he is as progressive as I am.

[Doctor_J]

17. probably too much diversity

it will be Edwards or Webb. I wish Clark hadn't bashed Obama - he would have been great.

[writes3000]

5. I heard that Richardson said on CNN that he didn't want that. Can anyone verify? n/t

[femmedem]

10. I heard him say that too.

He said he wasn't interested either in VP or a cabinet position. He said he enjoyed being Governor and growing his beard and would be campaigning for Obama.

[Coexist]

13. Keith didn't ask him on countdown

but the interview was great, nonetheless.

[EFerrari]

4. Andale!

:kick:

[crispini]

11. .

:kick:

[RiverStone]

12. Sí, se puede!

:hi:

[UALRBSofL]

14. Maybe the Jewish superdelegates will counter the hispanic superdelegates

LOL :rofl:

[slinkerwink]

16. undeclared superdelegates or already declared superdelegates?

[Coexist]

19. she didn't say - it was one of those little things that got glossed over

but had me thinking... so I googled Latino Superdelegate the only came up with some Latino superdelegates that were pissed that she fired Solis-Doyle.

You can check Demcon watch (the link above) but I can't tell someone's origin from their name.

18. that would be way cool.
