Richardson should run for the New Mexico senate seat

[Herman Munster]

It would be an easy pickup.

[Doctor_J]

2. Brilliant!

Except he might be VP

[Leftisalwaysright]

3. Absolutely

Yeah, if he's not VP, he should run, I've always admired the man.

4. well, we could use him in the Senate. nt

[Vanje]

5. Correct!

6. Are you all insane give up a Governorship to run for a boring ass senate seat PLEASE!!!!!

[Warpy]

7. Bad timing!

he's got 2 years to go as governor. There's no way he's going to run for that seat now. If he is out of work in 6 years, he might.

10. He's running for prez.

hat's the diff :shrug:

8. They're trying to get Tom Udall to run for that senate seat.

If the party manages to draft him they won't need Richardson. He'll beat about anyone that the Repugs throw up against him. He was kind of hesitant about committing when Domenici hadn't committed to retiring but there is a better chance that he'll make the run now that Domenici's retirement is announced.

11. That would be great

please god, please don't let it be Patricia Madrid

9. #1 he's the governor

#2 he doesn't want it

[polichick]

12. That's the impression I've gotten from his comments too...

He likes to be in the executive seat.

[bpeale]

14. he said yesterday he didn't want it.

[mmonk]

13. I support his bid for president.

His international skills are needed.

[WCGreen]

15. He should run for the Senate...

He would have a great platform and I would trust him to go on fact finding trips and actually find some facts...

[David Zephyr]

16. Excelllent idea. I love it.

:thumbsup:

[Supersedeas]

17. Yes, that's a great idea.

18. I saw in a blog post that the filing deadline was Feb 15th for the Senate race.

If no other capable Democrat throws their hat in the ring and Richardson doesn't do well on the major February 5th primary date, there'd still be time for him to recant his non-running statement and throw his hat in the ring for the Senate Race.
