Report: Richardson will seek presidential bid

Although Gov. Bill Richardson has been coy since last November's election about whether he plans to run for president in 2008, he has told party leaders he will run, according to a Monday report by The Associated Press.

Richardson is one of several Democrats and Republicans mentioned in the report. The story didn't provide any details as to which party leaders Richardson talked to or when he allegedly told them.

Richardson spokesman Billy Sparks downplayed the story -- but he didn't deny it.

While he has some nice experience, I think Richardson is overrated. He won't get far if he does run.

Yeah, he has the experience, but I also hear he has alot of baggage.      He was connected to some of the Cllinton scandals and a couple other things.  Still, I think he would make a great VP candidate.

He also has potential General Election baggage concerning leaks of nuclear technology to the Chinese while he was Sec of Energy.

Ive been thinking the same thing.  How bad do you think this would cripple the Democratic ticket if he was a VP candidate?

Not enough EVs in New Mexico.  However, they might offer him the Sec State job as a means of enticing the Latino vote to vote Dem.

5 EV's in New Mexico, but 29 in Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, and Arizona combined.  This would make him less dependent on having to win Ohio or Florida in order to win the General Election.  If he ccould pick up those 4 states he wouldnt need Ohio or Florida.
