3. I prefer SoS but am happy to have him anywhere

I don't mind Hillary as S0S either, I just think Richardson is more qualified for that specific position.

5. interesting, has NBC confirmed it yet?

Or is it more of a "is being vetted for" situation?

[DCBob]

6. Sounds like a done deal but not official.

Probably to be announced on Monday.

8. MSNBC is talking about it like it's a done deal

but they have a panel on discussing the picks so it's hard to tell. FWIW, the panel thinks the two choices announced today are great.

7. Does this mean Val Kilmer runs for Gov. of NM?

10. Ron Brown? Commerce actually is impressive.

I did have my heart set on Richardson being the other half of the dream team. I did have my heart set on SoState. I would love to hear that Richardson's base will expand beyond what most people hear about.
