So, the news reports that Hillary Clinton will be conceding on Saturday, and Barack Obama has established his committee to begin the process of selecting a Vice Presidential nominee for the Democratic ticket. No matter what, I'm hoping that Obama picks a strong Veep candidate to keep the Democratic Party strong, and to put up a good fight against the Republican Party. Of course, deep down, I'd love for him to ask the candidate that I initially supported: Bill Richardson. He has plenty of experience in the executive administration, both in the White House and as a Governor, plus he has worked with immigration reform in his home state. I mean, who doesn't love Bill Richardson?! He's just an incredible politician, and a brilliant lawmaker. I think he'd make a great second-in-command, and would provide great advice and could dispute the cries toward Obama's inexperience if Richardson is on the ticket. Listen to the name of the ticket: Obama/Richardson. It just sounds good. In all seriousness, I'm gonna be happy with his choice, as long as it is his own, and he makes it without being bullied… He's the official face of the Democratic Party for the 2008 Presidential race. He needs to be strong. And he is.

Speaking of VP lists, my friend Mike shared a hilarious link today, which continues in my favorite tradition of political humor during the election season. It's Obama's "Short VP List." I couldn't help but share it (thanks Mike!). Enjoy!
