Per Fox: Richardson is replacing Hillary as SECSTATE. Let the 2012 primary circus begin!
yes, that is what i think
Richardson is the creep who aided and abetted the Texas RATS who ran away from their duties to New Mexico because redistricting didn’t go their way. Who knows how many tax dollars and legislative time they wasted. The Texas Rangers should have thrown them all in jail, including Richardson for good measure.
I can’t believe she would be his vice....
Did you hear that Pele sent him a Christmas gift? There was a sewage leak that drained down past his vacation house and into the water.
Bingo, dawg.
But the shiftless weaselette may not be floating this rumour in order to later confirm it - she might be intending to get as much limelight as possible for refusing to run as well, by later contradicting this float.
Wheels within wheels, and it's always CYA first.
Of course, if she can assure that necessity, her claws would whip out and grab the Whitehouse so fast the blur would set off the fire alarms.
It's tricky. 
“If true it explains his N Korea trip.”
I doubt that that trip was directly related to the big O selecting him for SecState. He has made other trips to N. Korea, before, while not an “official” diplomat.
I imagine, that if Billary just announced to O their resignation, that current events just made Richardson seem to O like a conveniently “ready” diplomat.
Actually, I think O does not care WHO is SecState as much as he expects whoever it is to keep State dept out of what HE is doing in foreign affairs.
There might be some problems getting him on Hawaii’s ballot due to b.c. and ass clown new gov. neil abercommie is working with him right now on the island to clear the way???
He would fit right in with the rest of those corrupt thugs.
“Unfortunately yes, the very same meddling POS who just went to Korea. “
Which I find interesting. All the bluster, and threats, from Lil Kim, and nothing has happened. What did obammy tell richardson to promise that Lil B@st@rd?
It’s still not up on Drudge...
I think wikileaks planted the rumor.
Breitbart and FoxNews are repeating the rumor; HuffPo is not. Nothing on Politico either....

Rumors of Bill Richardson replacing Hillary Clinton as U.S. Secretary of State exploded across the internet Monday and appear to have been started by a report from Examiner.com and have been falsely attributed to Washington Examiner — which is unrelated to Examiner.com — by Fox News, among other outlets.
The Examiner.com report, which cited “numerous sources,” came from Dr. Michael Williams, an Albuquerque pastor on Christmas Eve. Williams also posted the report on his personal website.
The governor’s spokeswoman Alarie Ray-Garcia told Steve Terrell at the Santa Fe New Mexican, “The Governor has no plans to leave New Mexico. He is looking forward to becoming a private citizen.”
The unsourced reports went mostly unnoticed throughout the weekend. Only a Christmas Day article on Korea Times mentioned the report. The only sourcing on this post was from Examiner.com.
The story became more widespread after Fox News mentioned it Monday. Fox News incorrectly sourced the story to Washington Examiner. As of this writing, Washington Examiner has not mentioned any story about Bill Richardson replacing Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State.
The Washington Examiner reported Saturday that outgoing New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson could succeed Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. Citing “numerous sources” saying Richardson may replace Clinton and wants a job in the Obama administration and Clinton may be interested in taking a break, the paper noted Richardson’s recent “unofficial” trip to Pyongyang to try to ease tensions between the North and South Korea.
While both The Washington Examiner and Examiner.com are owned by Philip Anschutz, they are editorially separate.
Locally, KOAT reported on the rumors, saying the “rumors cropped up on Korean media outlets, the Washington Examiner and Fox News.” KOAT included a denial from “Richardson’s staff.”
Mediaite noted that the Washington, D.C., Fox affiliate also reported on “several reports” of Richardson potentially replacing Clinton.
CNN’s Ed Henry reported Monday that there is “nothing to it.” And that “a senior administration official” said that it was “essentially being laughed off by the administration.”
It is another example of how unsourced reports can quickly go from the least reputable of sources to discussion on cable news and on the internet.

I agree. But what’s the downside?
That is a different issue....
And I would like to see her destroy their party
