I guess his stroll into UFO paranoia didn't garner as many votes as he had hoped.

If he does get such a nod, it will be because of his competence and likability, not political calculation.

His what?

Am I the only New Mexican here?

Poor Bill. He has an impressive resume, and he seems like a straight shooter. It must be depressing for him to have to bow out in deference to a bunch of "newbies" with the right connections or the right demographic makeup or the right etherial message of "change." Style over substance.

Best political commercials. Apparently that's not enough to secure the presidency. Shame.

Bill Richardson was in the presidential race? Who knew?

It couldn't have helped that after the New Hampshire Primaries, as C-SPAN was airing Richardson's speech to his supporters, C-SPAN continually burned in Richarson's title on the bottom of the screen under the video which read:

Gov. Bill Richardson
D - Mexico

Since when do we allow non-citizens to run for the office of the President in this country?
Hell, if even C-Span can't get it right, how can you expect the voters.

I predict no major appointment if Hillary wins given some of the comments he made about her. The Clintons have long knives and even longer memories.

The media continually decries the use of racist comments but perpetuates the use of racist tags such as Hispanic. Richardson was born in this county and speaks English. He is an American. I don't think of myself as Dutch/English. I am an American and very damn proud of it.

In my twenty years in the Army, I never thought of the troops as hispanic or foreigners. They looked like me, spoke like me and dressed like me. They were no different.
