Obama’s List & The Fact Richardson is Not On It


June 11th, 2008

Making the rounds of all the blogs and TV channels is a report of names that are supposedly on Obama’s list of potential VP candidates. They include, in no particular order Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards, Evan Bayh, Kathleen Sebelius, Ted Strickland, Mark Warner, Tim Kaine, Jim Webb, Bill Nelson, Jack Reed, Joe Biden, Chris Dodd, Tom Daschle, Ret. Gen. James Jones and Sam Nunn.

Not on the list? New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson who was beyond vocal in his desire to be Vice President for both Clinton and Obama. I think it is interesting because Richardson destroyed his relationship with the Clinton’s and jumped ship to team Obama. Now who knows if the reports of this list are accurate but the fact that Richardson’s name is not prominent is very interesting.

    Not to mention Ted Strickland, in no uncertain terms is rejecting the VP…

    “Absolutely not. If drafted I will not run, nominated I will not accept and if elected I will not serve,” he said, in an interview on NPR's All Things Considered. “So, I don’t know how more crystal clear I can be.”

    It is a good point, with that said everyone always claims they won't accept or are not interested and then suddenly “well, for the good of the country, I guess I have to!”

    No way the country would vote for a Hispanic and a Bi-racial
