@karenmb

I don't think you are a real Democrat, and possibly not even a woman, so I'll keep this short:

I guess you do know Richardson was nothing before Bill Clinton gave him leadership roles. Richardson was fully embedded in the Clinton WH....how is choosing Richardson going with your "change" message?!?! Which is it Obamabots...Besides, Richardson is a boring politician...yea..pick him.

Richardson can reach out to a large, and growing group of swing voters. Growing being key: party loyalties have familial leanings and long memories. Get the Latino vote now, and keep it for generations.

Democratic values mesh with Latino and immigrant needs, and Democratic thinkers understand that immigration is a function of larger labor policy and civil rights. Republicans paint immigration as an invasion to pander to the xenophobe vote while championing the very same corrupt labor policies and corporate rights over citizen rights that create the economic conditions which encourage large swaths of low-wage, migrant workers.

I have not taken an in depth look at Richardson's policies, but his endorsement of Obama sent a loud and clear message that he is able to make the right decision not because of his history with Bill Clinton but in spite of it. That gels with the message of "change".

I don't know that I would call him boring. I have listened with interest to what he has had to say at the debates, and as a guest on various cable news programs. I find him articulate, well spoken, reasonable and quite intelligent.

Now, for a certain knuckle dragging portion of the population, his articulation will be interpreted as, as they say in Idiocracy, "talking like a fag," those morons are probably too busy throwing chicken wings around their trailers and watching "Punk'd" to take much notice.

So, I think he should be on the short list.

Hillary Clinton may be entitled to some things, but a place on the ticket is not one of them. A nice hot serving of humble pie, or a steaming hot bowl of crow.

As for you, I suggest an ice cold mug of shut the hell up.

My god, have you never seen "Blues Brothers?"

At any rate, you are.. not very bright. As a concern troll, you fail. You are transparent and you are shrill. I think you may even be on the RNC payroll. Regardless, I have decided to simply skip over your nonsense from now on.

You accusing me of racism. That's rich!

Thanks for the laughs.

@theplanner

Why would I provide any deference or praise to someone who is so transparent in their goals?

You are not here for debate. You are here to plug fictitious websites purporting to support Hillary Clinton no doubt paid for by Republican funded 527s.

I don't care what you think of me, and no, while I find it perplexing that you haven't seen one of the most classic comedies ever produced, that is not why I think you are a moron.

You are probably over-the-edge with respect to Salon.com's proscription against spamming in the forums. Were these not friendlier pastures, I am sure that actions would already be being taken by site administrators to file abuse complaints against each and every one of those domains you cite.

That you are an unintelligent buffoon is a case made in the recent series of events wherein I accuse you of spamming, and then you, dutifully, and without hesitation, proceed to do exactly that.

I hope you do not think that any Salon reader, for or against Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama seriously thinks you are anything other than a paid chicken boner (look it up) spamming liberal news and blogs sites with a list of 527 funded fake pro-Clinton domains. Even the most partisan Obama hater surely sees through your weak gambit.

Of course, I would leave your slime in the message boards if it were my choice simply to provide target-practice for internet sleuths or systems administrators to take pot shots at during their lunch breaks.

Don't be surprised if you suddenly start getting a lot more junk mail. As for your obfuscated masters, at the very least their uppance shall come in November. At least.

Very funny. Glad I wasn't drinking anything, or else I'd have Coke all over my screen. Dianne Feinstein! Brilliant.

Maybe we can put Jay Rockafeller in charge of the Public Utilities Commission or the FCC!

Any other DINO's you want to nominate? Joe Lieberman, Secretary of State?
