Maybe this drop out will not be the end for Richardson, I can only hope that if the winner is democratic, they choose him as their VP. That would be grand.

Maybe VP for Richardson?
Bill Richardson the 4th place democratic candidate has just dropped out of the election now leaving 3 big runners, Clinton, Obama and Edwards. After winning a small 2% of Iowa and only 8% of NH, governor Richardson just did not see it feasible to run any more. I felt i could connect with him on a multitude of issues such as education reform and the environment. He had a proposed a starting wage of 40,000 for all new teachers in order to encourage a decrease in the student to teachers ratio. His views on the environment are strong, he calls for a 50% decrease in oil by 2020 and a 90% reduction in green house gases by 2050. He believes we should make our efforts stronger because we are leading the world, and they will be following. If people were also looking for diversity in their candidate, he was hispanic. However he did not use this fact to his advantage with in the end i believe lost him his chance.

I agree. He is a solid canidate in a good location (new mexico). He will be VP for sure. He is laying low for now and soon he will pick someone to endorse who he thinks will win.
To agree with what both of you are saying I think that he seems solid. I went to his website and checked out his issues and they seem really well thought out. If you want to visit the website its
