Bill Richardson Moving Up from Second Tier?

James Joyner | Friday, February 16, 2007 |
Chris Bowers looks at various indicators and concludes that New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson “might be slowly migrating out of the so-called ’second tier.’”
Slowly, indeed. (It’s a good thing he can migrate, though, as there’s no way a swallow could carry him. It’s a simple question of weight ratios.) Still, the Democratic field is too crowded with Senators. At some point, a governor will likely emerge as a major contender. Given the lack of competition in that category, it may well be Richardson.

What about two swallows?
What about two swallows?
I hadn't considered that possibility.
Richardson's a solid candidate. If the Democrats are smart, they'll give him a look.
Of the present Democratic field, Richardson is my favorite (even though I disagree with him on Iraq). He's got the best resume for the job.
African swallows or European swallows?
P.S. I agree Richardson's a solid candidate. So he's probably doomed.
two swallows? how would they carry him?
