Bill Richardson (politician)
For your consideration in the upcoming presidential elections, the first Democrat that I have liked in a long time: Bill Richardson. "He has served as a Congressman, United States Ambassador to the United Nations, and U.S. Secretary of Energy; he is presently the Governor of New Mexico. He was also chairman of the 2004 Democratic National Convention that nominated John Kerry for the presidency" (Wikipedia).
For some time I have had the impression that he is a man of integrity, a rarity in politics, to be sure. And from his resume I would say he has the qualifications. All this puts him on my short list of people I would like to see in the race. The only card not in play is religion. To date I have not heard any of his views.
