Senator Biden and Chris Dodd leave race

Yea, I would be comfortable with the combination.
Obama is inexperienced enough to listen to his second in command and this would give us a chance to see 16 years of Biden.
What I don't know about is a Clinton/Biden or a Edwards/Biden ticket.
It'll be Obama/Richardson if Richardson wants it. Second choice is Obama/Biden.
Richardson helps the Obama candidacy much more than Biden.
Richardson would bring the hispanic vote and the moderate vote.

If Obama gets the democratic nomination, he will probably need a solid Southern or Western running mate to balance the ticket. Someone with some foreign relations or executive credibility.
As for Dodd, I am sorry to see him go. I think he would have done better in New Hampshire. And whoever gets the democratic nomination can count on both Biden and Dodd for support.
I very much wonder if Duncan Hunter will drop out also. And Fred Thompson may be on the cusp if his support drops.

I think he be a good VP for Edwards but not obama. 2 minorities on the same ticket would sink it. A lot of people will still not vote for a black man, esp with his lack of long term exp. And right now with imigration a hot issue having a hispinic will not help either. It would push to many "middle" voters away from the Dem ticket. If obama gets the nod then he need to get Edwards or some other white guy. Sad to say but it still holds truth when the last 2 election were so close it doe snot take much to lose it.

Biden and Dodd, both good honorable men with, in my opinion, far more experience than any of the other top 3. I'm finding it hard to understand why they didn't do much better than they did. Both would have made fine Presidents IMO.
Hopefully one of them will be snatched up for VP.

the Dems will have the hispanic vote locked up even without Richardson, the way the Reps have been pandering to the xenophobes who probably wouldn't have voted D in the first place.
the republicans destroyed the hispanic base that Bush/Rove built up before the first caucus vote was even cast.

I am still angry at Richardson's handling of Los Alamos. Once he latched onto Wen Ho Lee as his suspect, it was a my mind's made up, don't confuse me with the facts. At least in MHO, a closed mind is a rather dangerous quality to have in a chief executive because too much is then missed.
But overall, he does have an impressive resume. But can he best add the luster to a possible Obama run given the low poll numbers he generates? If Obama gets the democratic nomination, its a question only he can decide.
And the other IMHO, one of the many fatal blunders Kerry made was in muzzling Edwards, the dems need a one two punch able to really rip into the republican record. And there Richardson may be too boring.
