There is no way that Richardson will get past one Primary. His past with Slickie and "monica" plus the disaster with the fires and the Spy problems with Los Alamos on his watch would eliminate him even if he were a good looking,tall,trim man. His looks remind me of a Rutabaga with a smarmy smile, and greasy hair. I hope I did not spoil anyone's breakfast.

I live in NM, and have been saying much the same, except that there are almost daily exposes of his dictatorial actions here. He just used his line-item veto to punish anyone who had opposed him, and a good portion of the vetoes were regarding funding for schools and school equipment.

The constant reporting of corruption of the dem party here regarding kickbacks to officials is becoming almost a weekly feature of the Albuquerque Journal. Bill just illegally created high-paying jobs for his cronies and is getting pounded by (believe it or not) the local CBS affiliate. I can't believe he doesn't think that all this will be used against him in the primary, let alone in the general election if he makes it that far

But, my point has always been, he is just too ugly to be elected president. I love your description "Rutabaga with a smarmy smile, and greasy hair." Right on the mark.

I have always believed the theory that Pretty Women and Handsome men can get away with several times the stuff that the average looking or "plain" or "Plain Ugly" person could not. I do not think Richardson thinks he is anything but good looking, and that he can do any disgusting thing he wants while Governor and still be in the race for President. He forgets that New Mexico is not California or Mexico, and he did not even have the Power to Steal the Votes in N Mexico in 2004 with a Leftist Secretary of State in charge.

Plus the Anglo half of his genes is from Boston bankers. He can be demagogued bigtime.
