With talk of a dream ticket dying down, it's as good a time as any to begin speculation on the Obama (or in some unlikely event Clinton) running mate 
choice. Here is one thing we do know....it won't be Richardson.
The Goreolis Effect states that when a politician grows a beard it invariably means an imminent retirement from political life. (Note: The Goreolis Effect does not apply to politicians before 1960. It also does not apply to politicians who have always had beards like Rep. David Obey or Katherine Harris.)
So, Richardsons new facial hair indicates that he won't be a vp candidate with either Democrat. I suspect he'll be teaching Foreign Affairs and UNM by 2009. The Sartorial Senator's prediction for Obama's running mate: Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius, who is likely unable to grow a beard.
