Joe Biden Jr and Bill Richardson appeared to be very knowledgeable leaders who impressed me during all three debates that were aired on TV so far. Who else would vote for them if both decided to run together on a ticket with either as president and the other VP?

Even though I traditionally vote Republican, I have to sincerely agree with you on these two individuals. No one can win a debate with J. Biden. He's tough. And as for Bill. What an awesome diplomat he would be. Also, these two would actually stand a chance of winning over quite a few Republicans, especially Richardson. Unfortunately, this will never happen. The Dems are most likely to pick the candidate most out of touch with traditional Americans. They don't realize what the majority of this country consist of. Then were back to square one. Voting for the lesser of two evils.

These two individuals represent the type of accomplishments and experiences that the founding fathers expected potential presidents to have.
Unfortunately, in a modern campaign, candidates must be telegenic and charismatic. In addition, with the advanced high tech opposition research employed by all campaigns, having experience means that you have a record that can easily be distorted. As such, it is unlikely that either candidate can get the nomination.
Having said that, both would make solid cabinet level appointees -- Richardson at State and Biden at Justice.

If Richardson would win the nomination, I would vote for him. Biden is also solid, but the odds of these substantive candidates getting enough traction are low. If the Democrats want to win big, they would nominate Richardson because he is fiscally a conservative, but a Democrat on every other issue.

They are. I confidently predict tht Richardson will be the VP candidate. I'd like to see Biden stay head of the Foreign Relations Committee.

Richardson will be the VP pick. Biden is dead ever since he plagiarized from a Neil Kinnock (British guy) speech in 1988. Otherwise, Biden is impressive too.

The Obama tax plan will tax small industry house owners extra and harm the small organizations probably the most considering that they cannot preserve their earnings from taxes just like the massive companies can. The enormous companies have moved alot of jobs offshore and will cover their sales from taxes or restructure or reorganize and take their massive tax write-offs. The extra that Obama wishes to near tax loopholes for the enormous companies, the much more likely companies will retain to transport jobs off-shore after which simply observe for employee visas to carry the staff to the US as wanted for onsite paintings within the US. Obama proposed that he could supply a few sort of incentive for companies relocating their jobs again to the US, however once more the American small industry have already got their jobs right here within the US and with the bigger taxes, they could on the whole ought to lay-off staff. Small industry are in charge for construction of such a lot jobs development within the US, so that is the motive for fewer jobs with Obama plan, considering that his plan hurts small organizations.

They are excellent - in comparison to Clinton & Obama.
Their experience and character are certainly 100% better than the other two self-serving front runners.
I won't be voting for any of them but I could tolerate & accept Richardson/Biden but Clinton/Obama...ugh!

Richardson grew up in Mexico. I think the founders of this country would not want him running for president. If they knew he was going to run for president, they would have made a rule in the constitution that requires presidents to grow up in America.
Unfortunately, growing up in another country doesn't create a very loyal person.

I certainly would. They are both more experienced, and a lot more authentic than a few other Democrats. The big question that remains though, is will Gore get drafted to run? If he does, either of these gentlemen would make an excellent VP to Gore.

According to the polls, most democrats disagree with you to a great extent. They're apparently content to nominate two democrats for whom very few republicans will even consider voting.
