We think Barack Obama and Bill Richardson would make a great Democratic ticket. Here's why:
Vision:
Barack and Bill share the same inspiring hope for restoring America's "Yes We Can" spirit.Experience:
Bill Richardson has a robust history of making a difference through his many positions in government. The two-term New Mexico Governor has also served as a U.S. House Representative, as the head of the U.S. Department of Energy, and as the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. In all positions, Bill successfully advanced progressive issues.Viability:
After Bill Richardson dropped out of his own presidential bid, he remained undecided on who to support but finally endorsed Barack on March 21, 2008, after being inspired by his speech on race. But what about Hillary? Many democrats have speculated that she and Obama would make a great team. As this article succinctly explains, A Hillary-Obama partnership stands to undermine Obama's message of genuine change in Washington.Electability:
Barack Obama and Bill Richardson both grew up with immigrant parents. Richardson's Hispanic roots will add strength to the Democratic ticket, appealing to voters in three swing states with significant Latin-American populations: CA,TX,FL. Bill's experience as Governor and statesman will add credibility to Obama's vision.Issues:
As Democrats, they share the same view on most issues: better public education, protecting the environment, smarter foreign policy, universal healthcare, and a humane immigration policy.What you can do:
