Even Richardson says he wouldn't meet with Ahmadinejad

And he supports Obama! Obama has really blown it when even his supporters are saying that the president shouldn't meet with Iran which is what Obama said he would do:

I could have voted for Richardson, not only did he have executive experience, but some foreign policy chops and he was more centrist. Of course, that meant he had no shot in the primaries with the radical Democrats in charge.

Richardson got the "tacky person of the year" award for endorsing Obama so quickly, as far as I'm concerned. Whatever his strengths, loyalty doesn't seem to be one of them.

Yes, I know, he's a politician. But at least he could have had the decency to wait until summer to throw his endorsement behind the presumptive nominee. It just seemed like he was angling for the Veep spot, and like I said, I really hope he doesn't get it.

do you hope he doesn't get it because he's not qualified, or because you believe that he slighted your favorite for the democratic nominee?

i happen to think that richardson is a good leader with a lot of foreign policy experience. unfortunately, i really doubt that having 2 minority races (or having a minority and a woman for that matter) filling the ticket would ever get off of the ground in this country... this primary has made it pretty clear that there are enough people who aren't willing to have a minority and enough people who aren't willing to give a woman a chance, put the 2 groups together and it's a republican wet dream.

i see clinton's and obama's positions on the issues to be very similar. there's also little difference in their experience (face it, to say that hillary's experience as first lady alone qualifies her to be president, then the scary conclusion is that laura bush could be next - FRIGHTENING). the thing that hillary has in her court is bill's experience with diplomacy. either one would certainly shore up their shortcomings with their choices for cabinet positions. their policies are worlds apart from the bush/mccain policies, and it will be either clinton or obama running against mccain. for that reason, i will wholeheartedly support whoever wins the democratic primary.

Anyone but that two-faced opportunist.

Wow, you support the Clinton campaign and disqualify someone for being an opportunist who betrays people? Are you serious?

... like mccain betraying his first wife? who do you support mr. taylor? alicia is free to choose the candidate she believes will do the best job, be it clinton, mccain or obama and do so based on her own criteria. none of them are perfect.
