A great article today in the Times profiling Gov. Bill Richardson. Read it. I have to say, this guy's got probably more overall experience (local/state, foreign policy, domestic) than any other candidate on either side of the aisle. He's very slick, and just seems to have a knack for getting things done while keeping animosity towards him to a minimum. The latter quality is going to be useful come 2009 - Congress is starting to look more and more like Iraq with all of the sects, tribes, and blood feuds.

It's too bad the Ob-ilary juggernaut will most likely doom his chances, I would have liked to see him run in a general election. He gives the Dems a good voice in the South, and the blue states are all going blue anyways so he can't cause any damage there.
