(42,770 posts)6. Can't compare since he never had a chance. Do think
He's as brilliant...may have an edge in the schmoozing ability category

(42,770 posts)8. Ya and Podesta called him a dick and a needy
Latino. And Bill brushed that off and said he still has respect for John. High-roader!

I'm sorry, I think he was a fine ambassador but I lived in New Mexico and know there are issues with him.

and a good man, but no Barack Obama (I don't want to say anything too negative).

(16,162 posts)10. There were also ethics issues as well
He got caught up in a pay to play scandal which torpedoed his position in Obamas cabinet and then he ran into some trouble with his business dealings a little while later. Richardson is a meh TBH.

Richardson pleads no contest in hit-and-run accident
Richardson was cited Jan. 6 after a woman reported Richardsons Jeep struck her car from behind twice at a stop sign
and knocked her into the intersection of Marcy Street and Paseo de Peralta in Santa Fe.
Richardsons yellow Jeep twice struck Diehls Acura on the snowy morning of Jan. 6 at the intersection of Paseo de Peralta and Marcy Street.
He pushed me around the corner he hit me that hard, Diehl told police.
As soon as I got out of the car, the vehicle (with Richardson driving) was already gone.
When police later located Richardsons Jeep parked in a lot near Marcy and Washington Avenue,
Richardsons personal assistant initially denied that the former governor was driving in the area.
Um, did I hit somebody? a seemingly surprised Richardson asked the officer.
It was at a stoplight, and I think I just barely popped it.
