This will never work. A Mexican will never be President.

 

[Flexo]

He has a chance if he manages to crush Arnold.

I know it's a long shot, but Stallone might chip in.

 

[DarthRekal]

This will never work. A Mexican will never be President.

what about a NEW mexican... isnt that a REFORMED Mexican?

 

[Superman]

This will never work. A Mexican will never be President.

First of all he's not "Mexican", He's hispanic. Mexicans come from Mexico, Bill was born in the US. If he was "Mexican" by law he couldn't run.

2nd, Although I like Bill the fact is he ain't got a snowball's chance in hell of winning and I would say he knows that. I think he's doing this to bring light to whatever issues he wants to push.

I think he is trying to get the VP spot.

Richardson is probably the best choice for president currently in the race. That being said he is absolutely unelectable because quite simply he is fat and ugly.

 

[rdh007]

I pretty much agree with Matt.

 

[hippie_hunter]

I think he is trying to get the VP spot.

I didn't think of it that way. I doubt he'll get that either

 

[CConn]

He's a newb.

I do. Richardson wanted the position with Gore, he wanted it with Kerry. He knows his looks and ethnicity will be major disadvantages and because of that his only shot of being President and over coming those disadvantages would be to be Vice-President first.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Richardson has a lot of skeletons in his closet.

Or get enough attention to be someone's running mate.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Okay? This makes who now running? So many people in out of this race I can't keep up?

Obama
Clinton
Richardson
Edwards?

Richardson
Edwards?

Those are the main four.is not worth mentioning.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Hmm. I see.

I can't see any of these people as president right now really. Is it just me?

You are not the only one, but they are the best the Democrats have to offer.

And he didn't get the postition with either men. He wouldn't be a bad choice. But for some reason, I just think that the Democrats are going to be really stupid and manage to f**k this election up.

 

[Gonking]

a woman, a black man and a hispanic. At least, this shows a little of plurality from democrats

 

[Venom'sDad]

The more I hear Gov. Richardson, the more he sound less qualified to become President of the United States. The guy reminds me of President Carter....

WHHHAAAA!?!!? Out of all the candidates (dem and republican), he is the most qualified, most intelligent, and has the most experience in the executive branch.

 

[bored]

I tend not to watch debates, but how is he handling himself? I like Richardson, but I worry that he isn't trying hard enough.
