― and what, Friday, 22 February 2008 14:21 (eighteen years ago)
Dodd isn't such a bad idea in a vacuum - he probably does no harm - but other than his Spanish, he would do nothing more than help (somewhat) to lock in the base, and while Lamont might well win a special election, that doesn't seem good enough that it's worth risking a Jodi Rell appointment thru '10.

Richardson is a chronic foot-in-mouth-er who would further energize the demoralized nativist right while potentially doing little to energize the latino vote or lock in older and blue collar Dems that Obama needs a little help with; he might hurt in the latter regard. His name has been raised here by Southern New Engalnders. Well duh, he's basically from Massachusetts, ie old news regionally. He would certainly help in New Mexico, a smaller swing state, but how much against McCain from next door?

older white guy Washington experience without seeming tarnished by it swing state a fairly sunny, optimistic personality helps with the white, working-class Dems
doesn't really have strong foreign policy/military credentials, but seems to have everything else.
Like Webb as a bold, "attack dog" choice to mitigate McCain's military background.

Levi Johnston's mother said her 18-year-old son left Alaska on Tuesday morning to join the Palin family at the convention where Sen. John McCain will officially receive the Republican nomination for president. The boy's mother, Sherry Johnston, said there had been no pressure put on her son to marry 17-year-old Bristol Palin and the two teens had made plans to wed before it was known she was pregnant.
"This is just a bonus," Johnston said.

As it happens, the best of those defenses - including a squadron of America’s state-of-the-art interceptors, the F-22 Raptor - are stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base near Anchorage. Governor Palin would not only be intimately familiar with that facilities’ vital role in protecting U.S. territory. She would also appreciate its importance in the projection of American power in Asia and beyond as much of the nation’s long-range transport aircraft supplying our military operations around the world transit through Elmendorf. Every Commander-in-Chief should have such insights.
