Richardson that is. I don't get why Salon won't get behind his candidacy. He's got more relevant expereince than any of these current front runner. UN Ambassador and diplomat, something we can sure use these days; energy secretary who has been doing great things for energy and the environment as governor of New Mexico. Part Latino who can speak to the immigrant community with authenticity. Good record on gay rights and civil rights. No Iraq taint, but has spoken out unequivocally about what a disaster it is. And plenty of charisma and charm. But because the media, including Salon, insists on making it Obama v Hillary (v. Edwards sort of) the guy can't get much publicity. He's at 5% in the polls now. I think as people get to know more about him that will rise quickly.
