Wow. I'm sorry to hear you are voting republican. What causes you to vote for the candidate diametrically opposed to Richardson on nearly every issue, if you were originally supporting Richardson? This makes no sense to me but I'd like to understand. Hillary is closer to Obama on most issues than she is to McCain, and Richardson was closer to Obama on most of the issues than to either Hillary or McCain, so what exactly was your issue with Richardson's endorsement of Obama? He was loyal first to his country which we should all be. He is still close to the Clintons, make no mistake about that. He is their bridge to Obama, which will be helpful to both the Clintons and to Obama--something that I believe they understand better than many in the field do. This is why appointing Richardson as VP will unite the party, his experience will balance the ticket, and the Obama/Richardson team will have an extraordinary resume, including Obama's Harvard Education and "Rock Star appeal", as well as Richardson's excellent and robust international diplomatic and energy experience. There could not be a more synergistic team to move our country forward into a new era of energy independence and resultant prosperity and worldwide peace. I hope, with this in mind, you will change your mind about voting republicrantz. Truly.
