Richardson's debate performance
Richardson is getting hit hard over at dailykos over his performance at the debate and comments about roe v. wade:
as noted in Trapper John's post on dailykos.com's front page, in last week's debate Richardson said his model for a supreme court justice was Byron "Whizzer" White. Problem is that White is forever villified by feminists for being one of the two dissenting votes against Roe v. Wade, and its also pointed out White was a dissenter in the Miranda v Arizona case, which ruling established the right of citizens to be read their rights (Mirandised) when they are arrested. Also it is pointed out that when Richardson was asked about White's being against Roe, he said "White was in the 60's. Wasn't Roe v Wade in the 80's?"
I think this, and other things like his pro death penalty stance .etc, indicates Richardson is unacceptably weak on domestic issues and should be neither president nor vp. His specialty is foreign policy, so IMO he ought to be back in the cabinet again if a Democrat is elected, considered for Secretary of State, or National Security Advisor or something like that.
I think Wesley Clark is more likely vp material, particularly if Edwards or Obama is nominated, neither of whom has much foreign policy experience.
