So when/if Richardson gets the VP nod, how should he deal with the BIG question??

[tokenlib]

The damn consultants will probably tell him to take it off. In psychology in college I remember learning that beards "push people away." But I think it looks really good on him.
So what does DU think???

1. I love the beard. I think it makes him look warmer, more approachable.

But I'm sure I'm in the minority.

13. I like your boat.

Tell me more about it.

I wish we were on it right now heading out to deep blue water for some marlin or mahimahi fishing. Hell, I'd settle for hanging around the bayou here (outside New Orleans), catching sheephead, grouper, and redfish. :9

15. mahi yes she takes mahi

outriggers for trolling
its a parker 2520 a 97 with twin suzuki 250 hp 4 strokes
gots networked garmins with sonar and fish finders
auto pilot lots of bells and whistles
wide beamed for stable fising and fast as a scalded dog
we use it as a dive boat too
see that sweet transom platform?
and when you sit on the livewell you can gear on and gear off with ease
cabin sleeps 2
or 4 if everyone is nice
all in all a nice boat

patience paid off we got her for a song and we love her
