Bill Richardson
Bill Richardson is being interviewed on the TV right now in the other room. Its always nice to see him on TV. I've long thought there was going to be a good spot in the party for him, and at the moment I could see him being offered the second spot on anyone's ticket. What think all?

1. I'm in NM
...and I think he's a DINO. He campaigned for an end to the sales tax on food and medical care (an onerous burden for all of us), but the first thing he did in office was lower taxes on the RICH. That tax on food is still there, and will probably remain so. He's done nothing, not even lip service, for the working and poor in this state since he's taken the oath of office.

To give the devil his due, he'd be wonderful as Secretary of State in an otherwise Democrat administration. Just keep him away from Labor, HUD, HEW, or anything else that benefits people.

3. I know why he's so respected around here...
He may be wrong about a lot of things, but he comes through when it counts. (Just ask Texas DUers.)
