I was surprised to see this entry in the parade as I didn't know lacking representation by New Mexico was at the forefront of their state's agenda. Even more amusing, however, was commentator Bob Eubanks of local LA TV station KTLA noting that one couldn't help but notice that the horse depicted on the float was clearly "tilting to the left" ;)

Happy New Year!

"tilting to the left"

I've never considered Richardson a big lefty though.

When the RATS finally figure out that Senators make bad candidates Richardson might be a contender.

I was so wholly unimpressed by his "the hard drives were missing on my watch, I'll fix it speech" when he was DOE Secretary. He's fat bag of $hit, IMHO.

Hmm..interesting. His state of NM is having some wildfires now (Hobbs NM area) and he's off in CA gallivanting at a parade?

I guess it's "OK" for libnuts to not be around in times when their state is experiencing a disaster. Woe to any GOPer who DARES to even be ON THE JOB during one!

Sick to death of libnut hypocrisy.

Richardson, an oft-discussed potential 2008 presidential candidate, said he did not initially want to ride on the float,

Total BS from Gov. Groper.

Though I must admit, it was a very sharp-looking float, one of the best of the parade.

ABC's coverage was awful, of all the shows to cross-promote, why on earth would they choose their sleaziest and most adult-oriented to provide the co-host (Desperate Housewives)? And then the slut-playing 'star' did a lousy job of announcing. In contrast HGTV did a great job, without commercials or trashy innuendo in their banter.

Richardson, an oft-discussed potential 2008 presidential candidate,...

The guy is basically a scumbag. He was Clinton's fixer in the Monica mess, and was a disaster as the head of DOE. But he will be a dangerous candidate for President if he runs in 2008. He's plugged into big Hollywood money and has the connections (Alec Baldwin, Christie Brinkley, et al.) to make more, and is a major powerbroker in the national 'Rat party. He'll likely have Clinton's blessing (if Hillary doesn't run), and will be at least a VP choice if not the top of the ticket. He will clean up the Hispanic vote, and is the governor of a Southwestern state, a lot better position to make inroads in the GOP base of the South and Midwest than Senator of a liberal Northeastern state. If I were the national GOP, I'd have some money going into opposition research on Richardson right now. Start with the DOE tenure. There are a lot of skeletons there.

I thought there were serious grass fires in New Mexico.

I was in the elevator today with a couple of my co-workers. I mentioned that the Rose Parade committee must be cursing up a blue streak (as to why today's weather didn't happen yesterday). One of the co-workers said that it was "because they picked the wrong grand marshall".

Another of my co-workers reminded me that Ms. O'Connor will be tossing the pre-game coin at tomorrow night's Rose Bowl game (as is the tradition for the Rose Parade GM). I posed the question, "will the coin land left, right, or in the center?"

(Of course, I could have said that was how she made her court decisions--by the flip of a coin--but I wasn't thinking fast enough at the time...)
