In all probablility Gov. Richardson of NM will run in '08 |
|
He has great experience: US Rep, UN Sec, Energy Sec, Governor. He also might help in the Sunbelt and with Latinos. Any thoughts?

1. i think a southerner will win |
|
i think the southern candidates running in the primary will put a lot of emphasis on how recent wins by dems have been by southerners.

I'm sure, but is he a Bill Clinton? Al Gore was a southerner and didn't carry a single southern state, so it is no guarantee that any southerner will necessarily win.
Also, why is it that Northerners can vote for Southerners, but Southerners can't vote for Northerners? Too many in the south act like the civil war is still on.

A choice I hadn't thought of right away, but he seems like a tough guy.
I worry a little about his health -- he's a bit, shall we say, weight-challenged -- but if he can do it, put him in the hopper!
