Bill Richardson..

[Cleetus]

So much talk of Hillary and so little talk of Richardson. This saddens me a great deal, as, in my opinion, Bill Richardson has a *real* resume. I listen to him, and he really impresses me as the best person for the job.

Why is it that the most honest, most perceptive and most mindful candidates don't have a chance? Richardson would make an outstanding president. Hillary, she already owes her soul to her corporate contributors, she has no experience or credentials, and she totally lacks spontenaity. Everything she does and says is so very carefully scripted, fine tuned for her audience. After following her politial career for the few years she has been in politics, I still have no idea how she feels about anything.

Now don't get me wrong, if she gets the nod I will vote for her, but with a very heavy heart.

1. He would be in my top tier if (a) he ditched the idiotic balanced budget amendment...

... and (b) pulled off JUST ONE good public appearance. Just one. Please? One?

Love his resume - his greatest strength, obviously. The rest is good too.

2. Charisma..

I agree with you. Thanks

3. Bill Richardson cannot say that being gay is not a choice

For me he put himself out of the question for me.

4. He has the best stance on ending the war, IMO

But I also think he put his foot in his mouth with that "Homosexuality is a choice" debacle.

5. I met him once and in my humble opinion.....

He is just another overstuffed ego.

6. I haven't been impressed so far.

His resume may be good, but his performance in the debates and elsewhere has been lackluster, at least from my perspective. He may be a solid candidate, but I don't see anything that distinguishes him.
