Democratic candidate Bill Richardson wants to have it all.
"I'm a Red Sox fan," said the New Mexico governor, who was born in Pasadena, Calif., but spent his early childhood in Mexico City.
Richardson attended a boarding school in Concord, Mass., where he pitched on the baseball team. He graduated from Tufts University in 1971 with a master's degree in international affairs. He also pitched a season in the Cape Cod summer league. He follows baseball closely to this day.
Earlier this year, Richardson said that if he were not running for president, his dream job would be playing for the Yankees. Yesterday, on NBC's "Meet the Press," he explained: "I've always been a Red Sox fan. But I said if I weren't running for president, I would like to be No. 7 -- Mickey Mantle -- playing center field for the New York Yankees.
"My favorite team has always been the Red Sox," he said, then added, "I'm also a Yankees fan. . . .

He gets credit here in NM for acting like an Emperor during his term. I can’t find words bad enough to describe the fat, ugly, nasty, gross, corrupt criminal.

I saw a great bumper sticker up here in Maine.
“I have two favorite teams. The Red Sox, and any team playing against the Yankees.”

Why do they call him a contender. If he is lucky, he will get 12 illegal aliens to vote for him.

Traded in a perfectly good state jet for a fancier more long range one so he could do his presidential campaigning.

Boston is the nexus of evil. One cannot be a fan of the sainted New York Yankees and also be a fan of the nexus of evil.

I used to attend USC/UCLA baseball games with the hat of one team and the jersey of the other. May the best team win!
Richardson, on the other hand, is a Traitor to his country.

Kinda like Hillary saying that she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary in honour of his conquest of Everest. The problem being that she was already a youngster when Hillary climbed Everest.

I presume that was said tongue in cheek, since that was debunked.

It is cosmicly impossible to be both a RedSox fan and a Yankee fan.
