...but why not speculate.  How does an Obama-Richardson ticket sound to you?  Richardson brings international experience, governing experience, from the southwest, and he's hispanic.  What's not to like?

I recently moved to France and have been very interested to hear the local takes on the US elections.  The Frech media is basically ignoring the GOP race and only focusing on Hillary and Obama.  The reason for this Dem focus surprised me a bit.  It's not because the HillBama race is sexier or more star-studded (which would be a reasonable reason if you ask me).  No, it's because the French people I listen to can't even imagine a scenario where the good people of the United States would vote for a Republican again.
I try to tell them that it's not quite that cut-and-dry but they don't want to listen.
