Snippet - One governor who does have the resume is New Mexico's Bill Richardson. When he was running for president this year, many dismissed Richardson as someone simply angling to become Clinton's VP. He did seem deferential towards her during some of the debates. So it was a shock when he endorsed Obama in late March. A sputtering Bill Clinton, who spent Super Bowl Sunday trying to get Richardson to endorse his wife, was furious. One Clinton loyalist, James Carville, likened Richardson to Judas. Picking Richardson, who is Hispanic, might be an inspired choice, but it could anger the Clinton camp. (Still, don't rule out Richardson as the running mate.)
