This was taken in 1971 and the candidate was George McGovern.
Now, with election year in our front pocket, things are moving quickly. While McGovern did not choose wisely (grasshopper), my hope is that Obama does and that has me thinking about who his running mate might be.
Should he go with conventional wisdom and select someone like say, Patrick Kennedy?
Would John Edwards be willing to play second chair after twice trying for the chair at the head of the table? Would his presence help more than someone else?
If Romney gets the Republican nod (maybe even a wink), could anyone be so bold as to suggest a mixed race union (I mean elephants and donkeys)? Is McCain just enough of a maverick to serve as VP for a Democratic president? You have to admit there are some interesting possibilities here.
But I like this guy.
He was my first choice for President and my choice to run along with Obama.
If for no other reason, Bill Richardson has the type of foreign policy experience that could help President Obama restore our integrity in the worlds eyes, and lord knows that will take some doing.

Yeah, I'm pretty curious to see how this all pans out myself.
Obama's color and name alone I think will help how the world views us!
