    But that's normal at this time in a campaign. Most people aren't paying attention to details now. What other candidate has come out with substance? No one will engage in substance until 2008. The earlier you come out with specific proposals, the more time the opposition has to criticize them. Right now, candidates are about fluff - that's just the nature of campaigns. And he's really good at that part. It remains to be seen how he truly is that the substance side of things.

    I heard the funniest attempt to make fun of Obama's name so far. (Well, except for Ted Kennedy's unintentional job.) A local Fox News Radio host, Ronny Linden, is calling the media circus around his campaign the Obama Nation. Say it aloud.

    More power to ya!

    I like Richardson, could see him in a cabinet post.

    How's the search going? Are you watching Westminster?

    I'm sure everyone can see him in a cabinet post since he's already been in one. I'm pretty sure he'd rather stay governor of New Mexico than do that again.

    Anyone not named Barak, Hillary, is in this election for VP status, and that includes Edwards who will gladly take it.

    When was the last time a VP candidate that lost the previous election ran again as the VP?

    By the start of the primaries the electorate will be so sick of Hillary, Obama and Edwards that Richardson will be a breath of fresh air.

    yeah, i was thinking about that. my guess is that edwards is either the presidential candidate or he's not on the ticket at all. which i think is hurtful, because i think he'd help an obama ticket. i could see those guys have a pretty dynamic synergy.

    I agree. I think it would be an excellent ticket, but there's almost no chance of it happening.

    I'm drifting back to the Springer camp. I miss Gracie so much.

    You could do worse.

    They just had the sporting group show at Westminster. The Springer won the group. Beautiful dog!
