I don't think he has a prayer of getting the Democrat nomination, barring some political earthquake, but is he really running for running mate?

That would be interesting, if he actually became Vice President, because, traditionally, the Veep is in charge of the space program in the White House (Cheney has actually been one of the most hands off in this regard in years). And Richardson has been very supportive of NewSpace (at least partly because of all the hype over Spaceport New Mexico), so that could actually result in some useful changes of direction for NASA.

Not that I'm thrilled in general about a Dem in the White House, of course.

I'd sure take Richardson over Hillary. Believe it or not, he actually cut income taxes in New Mexico, without raising income taxes on the higher tax brackets. Of course, this was after two terms of gridlock between a republican governor and a democratic house and senate, wherein the governor vetoed pretty much everything ("governor no"), and the state budget was nicely constrained for a decent period. Gee, there was money to give back to the people after government stopped spending so much for a while! Also worth mentioning is increased fees and other levies which actually increased government intake, more than balancing out the tax cut.

However, would you ever expect Hillary to lower taxes in any way shape or form?
