He "bobs and weaves" when asked about running for president in 2008, according to the Washington Post's Al Kamen.
But Kamen says that New Mexico's popular Gov. Bill Richardson is telling friends his hat is in the ring for the presidency.
Kamen describes Richardson as "the former congressman, energy secretary, ambassador to the United Nations, globe-trotting troubleshooter" and notes he was in Washington last week to promote his new autobiography, "Between Worlds: The Making of an American Life."
During a Beltway dinner, Kamen writes, Richardson spilled the beans to dinner companions.
Questioned about his presidential plans, Richardson told friends, "You gotta read my book."
Richardson also said that governors were the future for Democrats.
A gentle slap at presidential wannabes Sens. Clinton, Kerry and Biden?
Richardson urged guests to "Keep your powder dry" in throwing support to another candidate.
"I'm running, and you can tell people that," two other dinner guests recalled him saying "I'm going in 2008," Kamen quotes Richardson.

Oh, boy.
He lowered taxes.
He acted against illegal aliens.
He might actually stand a chance.

lol, no, he is New Mexico's Dem governor
To: ExSoldier
He's a denocrat governor. Not a republican. RINO doesn't apply.

"i would never vote for him, but doesnt this guy have some descent common sense positions on some issues?" He's an FOB.
That's enough to have disdain for him for eternity for me.

He'll never get nominated by the Democrats, he actually has a kernel of common sense.
To: StopDemocratsDotCom
Yeah, but I still won't vote for him. Not if he's anti-gun. I'll have to learn more and find out who else is running.
He'd better watch for a certain pair of ankles in a pantsuit following him around.

Someone should warn this clown to stay out of Fort Marcy Park......and to keep his distance from Hillary..
Perhaps we could all recommend he execute a pre-emptive strike of his own....
