Not only do I think they could win, but win by a landslide. To do so, both need independent to break heavily for them - if so then they win. Think of how close the last elections were. If Dems vote for the dem candidate and Repubs vote for the Rep candidate then important votes are, in order of necessity: 1.) Independents 2.) voting groups that don't usually vote: (students/youth, religious, women, etc) If independents split, as they have for the last 2 elections, then it'll come down to groups in #2 above which is how Bush has won to elections: by mobilizing religious votes; especially those who don't usually vote. My guess is that both Hillary and Barak have the power to swing independents heavily in their favor making groups in #2 irrelevant. I don't think Richardson can, mostly because he looks Mexican and many Democrats and independents are worrying about Mexicans taking their jobs - so they're certainly not going to put one in the Whitehouse. In NM, Richardson plays well maybe, but in the heartland and in the south he'll get destroyed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:225376 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
