Good work on your first submission. Richardson is certainly playing up the experience card of late! So then why isn't he catching on? And keep an eye out on Senator Domenici's retirement. If this whole presidency thing doesn't work out, will Richardson aim for Domenici's seat? As the popular governor of New Mexico, would he be willing to give up a shot at the Senate seat to consider a run for the vice-presidency? If he's going to run for Senate instead of VP, then when does he have to make up his mind? Richardson will certainly be an interesting one to watch over the next few months!
