“I think hes going to do it — run for president.
Hell have to take on fellow Democrats and the doubters who dont think the country is ready to break a 217-year tradition of sending only white males to the White House. Theyll say hes not ready, either. Still, hes sure to generate lots of excitement because of his intelligence and charisma and the diversity hed bring to a national ticket. And he also has a crossover appeal that transcends his own ethnic group.
I speak, of course, of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson. Who did you think I had in mind? For the only Hispanic to hold one of the nations governorships — and in a border state to boot — 2008 will be either the best time to run for president, or the worst.”
