Bill Richardson

I've voted for Bill Richardson in the Democratic Primary in New Hampshire via absentee ballot. He came in fourth in the Iowa caucuses and is totalling only 7% in he latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll. It is my belief that Richardson is the most qualified man to be president. He actually is what Barack Obama (and his merry band of Democratic Republicans) claims to be, as he has the background (diplomat, Cabinet member, governor) providing the most thorough preparation for the Presidency.

But what does it matter when the media wants a beauty contest to boost ratings?

Here's an interesting article on Richardson and the media: Richardson Gets the Last Laugh:

I have a feeling Bill Richardson is going to be the next Vice President of the United States, with either Hillary, Obama or -- most fortuitously -- John Edwards.
