Reply #1: I caught the end of it, he was very relaxed confident and funny.

Unfortunately I just came in at the end of a discussion of Middle East policy. At that point the conversation changed to politics with Richardson warning the Democratic front runners to stop tearing each other apart. He also said he didn't want to be Vice President.

Richardson is a highly qualified, experienced politician and diplomat sounds like a human being. Unfortunately he sometimes sounds too much like a human being for modern politics. He hasn't developed the art of the soundbite. Worse yet, he LOOKS like a human being. I like the guy--I'm uncomfortable with blow dried perfection but in today's climate Abe Lincoln couldn't get elected without a major overhaul from the "Queer Eyes" guys.

"Look Abe, that hat has to go."
