Hi friends,

I read the comments about my blog on Gov. Richardson’s endorsement of Sen. Obama. Before you all hang me be advised that Sen. Obama is our man here in this house and to everybody I talk to.

You see I am looking for HOPE which I am sure this man can deliver - versus another 100 years of being in iraq with Sen. McCain.

Ideally I would like to see Sen. Obama run for president with possibly Sen. Clinton as his V.P. What an awesome team.

But as the campaign wears on it possibly will not happen, as Sen. Clinton does not want to abandon the campaign. My comments about the Guv. still stand. Go with a frontrunner it could be a cabinet post down the road. Think about it.
