Richardson, I believe, has his eye on the White House. The Dems consider him a rising star. I'm not sure what his chances of gaining the nomination would be. H. Clinton likely to run, the Dems are in love with Obama but Senators don't do well in Presidential elections and he isn't eligible to run yet anyway. Richardson has the best chance to win a national election in a 2-Man race. H. Clinton's best opportunity is to run in a 3-way race.
he isn't going to sabotage his chances to defend Kerry/Rather/& Clinton's people.
Good info. I agree. I've thought too that he probably wanted to get into the WH. He seems to tread carefully, but not in the way that Kerry has for 20 year by avoiding all issues and responsibility. I remember he talked with North Korea early in this administration. Beyond a Zell Miller, he's probably as honest a dem as we will ever see in national politics. Do you know how old he is?
