I liked the way Gov. Bill Richardson, NM spoke during the debates. He has alot of International experience. We need to work on how other countries view America.
Hey wooz, question for you: Don't you think that sipping on champagne to celebrate Hillary's concession to Obama is the epitome of some kinda Rush Limbaugh stereotype about elitist liberals?

I agree...and find it hilarious. I'd rather be a champagne-drinking liberal than a beer-drinking conservative...just sayin'.
As for my VP choices, I'd like to see Richardson, Clark, or McCaskill. Can't wait for November...
Richardson is a good speaker in person - I saw him recently at a press event
Webb is currently working on a bill to get the full GI bill back - that will make military types very happy (and me even though I'm not a military type, but my dad went to college on it)

Does it help that I drank the champagne straight from the bottle?
I'm particularly interested more in the "where" than the "when" of this...
Another prominent endorsement coming in Michigan... It's a swing state, though it went Democratic in 2000 & 2004. Potential GOP veep nominee Romney won it and has strong roots there. Not to mention the whole delegate-apportionment controversy involving it & Florida. You'd think Florida, being another of the more pivotal up-for-grabs states, would have been a better place - especially symbolic coming from Al Gore.
The strategy behind this seems too on the defensive for what I'd think he needs to do.
Campaign/rally soundtracks could be so much better...
Here's what I recall hearing, between the volunteering and events before the WI primary:
Clinton events: The Police "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic" Tom Petty "American Girl" Dolly Parton "9 to 5" BTO "Takin' Care of Business" Mellencamp - didn't specify in my notes
Obama... I can't really recall. I've been to three of his events, and the last two didn't really have music. When I saw him on the eve of the Iowa caucuses, it was in a school gym and just about ready to go when I entered. The most recent was in the UW basketball arena, and they had a CNN feed of that day's primary results. He was here for a fundraiser last fall, and all I remember is plenty of Motown.
The Huckabee rally had the worst music. Tons of country, the only one of which I recognized was "God Bless the USA" Ron Paul's people write their own songs for their candidate. McCain came onstage to Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode"
In my Richardson volunteering, the signature tune was Tom Petty "I Won't Back Down."
MSNBC has March Madness-style Veepstakes bracket at their site. It's taking a week off in memory of Tim Russert, but it's resuming Tuesday. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24672458/
I'm kinda pissed they only made Richardson a 5 seed.

Man... I'm starting to get fed up with all of McCain's theories on how to solve the world energy crisis.
First he wants to build 30-somethin more nuclear reactors in America, and now he wants to give someone $300 million of the governments money to whoever builds a new automobile battery that is "far surpassing today's technology"
Oh, is that a problem I see? Let's throw money at it and see if it fixes itself....

Sounds like a liberal approach to me.
I had a guy in one of my classes this semester tell me he could convince me to vote McCain if I'd give him an hour. I'm kind of curious to take him up on that invitation...

I would accept this offer with conditions:
-The time period ends as soon as something false is uttered.
-Anything passed off as *fact* must have a credible source.
I must admit, Jesse would most likely wipe the floor with me if we had to go head-to-head in a debate. He was the capital staffer/classmate who interviewed me for that internship with a State Assembly Republican about 5-6 weeks back. Things obviously didn't go well with that, or I wouldn't be posting here now. We got somewhat sidetracked and did have an interesting discussion on what should be the proper limits of libertarianism. I think I kinda shot myself in the foot there, job-wise, but it was an interesting discussion nonetheless.
If anything, I think that could make for some interesting video to post...
..so I wore my Deadheads for Obama shirt to work today and this guy comes up to me and says lemme see your shirt, he reads it then busts out laughing and says "Thats funny, I hate Obama too" I guess he translated Deadhead into something like stupidhead. I work with retards.
