Governor Richardson is going to do very well in New Hampshire. His international resume is a breath of fresh air amongst the candidates, and it is going to take a fiscally sound internationally minded and internationally experienced Democrat to rebuild from the last 6 years of corporate manipulation and kleptoplutocracy, which has almost destroyed the USA in so many nations.
Diplomacy still works well, and no one is better equipped or more experienced in international diplomacy than New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. I've seen him in action, and the guy really gets important initiatives accomplished in the lobbyist-controlled New Mexico legislature which actually benefit the people of New Mexico, where almost all others have failed. Same is true in the Sudan. I think Richardson could be for the USA what Pierre Trudeau was for Canada. Time will separate the wheat from the chaff, eh?
