Richardson, at least by default
Edited on Sun Jan-21-07 11:23 AM by question everything
We instinctively know that we need a candidate with executive track record: a governor, a CEO, a mayor of a large city or a military man.

We instinctively know that we cannot win with a Northeastern.

Even though neither Bill Clinton nor Junior had experience in foreign relations, we instinctively know that a candidate has to show some.

After eliminating everyone else, the nomination is for Richardson to lose.

And this, without hearing or listening to a single word from him... I just now logged in and read about it on DU home page.

I o not pretend to predict the future. Too many of "my" candidates lost. But I remember when I first heard the name Bush mentioned, in the summer of 1998, I think, that I knew he was going to be the next president, just by the familiarity that the name brought.

That's OK. I'd rather have a Richardson than a Bush in the White House.

(We don't have anyone named Bush among Democratic leaders, do we?)

2. I just know he's governor of NM
I'll have to find out more about him, but until I hear a lot of negatives, he will be a viable candidate to me.
