Pumps' Perplexities

I have an odd feeling in my gut and maybe a little common
sense in my head.......

The whole political establishment in America is talking about
a Clinton/Obama 2008 Presidential ticket......But, take my
point of view......#1 Bill Richardson of New Mexico is an olde
"Clintonite".....#2 He knows the "Clinton rules"......#3 He is
of Hispanic descent.....#4 He is out West while Hillary is
in the East.......

In conclusion she will bring in the votes from the Eastern
Democratic (Blue) States and he will pick up the Western
votes of CA, AZ,NM, NV, UT,CO.......OR and WA are Hillary
States already.......Obama will retain his senate seat and
Edwards will continue in his law practice.......

Why did Richardson announce he was running in 2008 only
two days after Hillary?......Name recognition perhaps?.....
