Richardson has always been and always will be the Clintons' lap dog.

Better yet, how about all the Democrats sign a pledge that they will be POSITIVE about the United States of America?

>>>"We Democrats should all sign a pledge that we all be positive," [Richardson]<<<

If that would end the fear mongering hype about Global Warming...I might endorse Richard as the democrat candidate....as a Republican of course.

I've been saying for over a year now Richardson will be Hillary's VP if she gets the nod.

The hispanics are a growing constituency, and the blacks have shown they will vote Demo no matter how abused they are. Why would she pick Obama?

This is typical Democrat SOP. Always force the person to apologize, and why should Obama? He didn't make the statements. Obama should tell Team Clinton to get bent.

You make a really good point. I've been leaning toward the Obama VP camp, but I can see how that may not have been the plan after all.

Absolutely. In fact, I would say it's in the bag.

How come you're so sure about that ..??

I didn't think Richardson was all that thrilled about being with the Clintons .. especially when he told Bill not to come and campaign for him during his last re-election.

How bout a pledge not to lie, cheat or steal. And no more jumping on the Lincoln bed. Better yet, just stay out of the White House.

Why should Obama apologize for something a supporter says?

Has been for 4 years. He brings the Hispanic vote. Hillary wins.

Actually, Richardson would make the best nominee for the Democrats.

Until this happened, I didn't think so. I figured he'd had enough of the Clintons, knew their fundamental dishonesty and was making a legitimate run himself. Now, I agree with you wholeheartedly. I never did believe that Hillary would choose Obama as a running mate. But I do now believe Richardson is brown-nosing for the job. Unfortunately for us all, he will make her candidacy stronger. Unless he continues to do such stupid things.

Good observation about Richardson defending Hillary because he wants to be her VP choice, but I bet it took a threatening call for him to do it.

Hillary's taking heat for going after Obama because of what Geffen said. Great article in today's New York Post about it,

Obama seriously up in the polls. I heard a democrat strategist call the poll good news for Hillary...how's that for heavy duty spinning? He said Obama should have been up even more considering all the media attention he's been getting.
