He's a good endorsement, but probably not a good VP as he has all the same weaknesses as Obama and fewer of the strengths.
On the other hand, he is a southerner... but that only seems to work if he's the candidate not the VP (as Kerry found out).

Richardson... I wouldn't call him awkward... at least not for the VP position. He doesn't compose himself well for the media, but he does have a certain appeal.
And is he really any more awkward than Cheney? Come on.
