I just saw former New Mexico Governor, and former U.N. Ambassador Bill Richardson on TV, and he appears to have shaved, bought a new wardrobe, and dropped 50 pounds. Could this mean he's gearing up for another presidential run?
DARE I DREAM? He was my favorite candidate in 2008, and when he lost to Obama I was hoping Obama would choose Richardson as his VP candidate.
CAN WE DRAFT HIM? (I would suggest that he could be Hilary Clinton's VP candidate, but I know Hilary Clinton cut him off with extreme prejudice when he endorsed Obama over her in the 2008 primary. He's said that she's never forgiven him for that.)
