  • Bill should be the first choice for Secretary of State, end of discussion.

  • Go back to his days in the Clinton Admin, Senator Robert Byrd reprimanding him for being unable or unwilling to testify about basic facts before Oversight committees. He stated Richardson would NEVER be confirmed for another position by the Senate.

    • Richardson's behavior as SecEnergy laid the groundwork for the Bush Administration's evasion of oversight. Stop remembering the rosy pr hype and go back and look at the job he actually did. 256 Char limit for comments? Crazy.

  • I'm a big fan of BR. He's like Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction as diplomat. I'm into it!

  • I have lived in New Mexico for a long time and have followed politics locally, nationally, and globally. Many New Mexicans know Bill Richardson to be a complete slimebag. I would not consider him fit for any position in the new administration.
