I'll go a step farther, I think the 2 white guy pro-lifers would blow a Hillary led ticket (even with a hispanic) out of the water.
Any ticket with her, has the potential to possibly lose a couple of the weak blue states (i.e. Wisconson, Minnesota, New Hampshire, etc).
yes, you are right about those states as being the new battlegrounds in 2008. but with Richardson on the ticket, the Dems are going to have a better chance in AZ, NM, NV and CO. if you take Kerry's 2004 electoral total, and add 3 out of 4 of those southwest states - the Dems win unless we can peel off something we didn't win in 2004.
