It'd be interesting to know why Richardson never went anywhere - could it be that there's room for only one Clinton era candidate? Is he a boring speaker or unappealing in some way?

Without a doubt, he's the Josh Lyman pick. Ticks both symbolic (he's Hispanic) and substantively progressive (health insurance for all kids, higher minimum wage, high clean energy targets) boxes - plus has a serious CV including stints as Ambassador to the UN and Energy Secretary. I also recall he met with anti-nuclear peace activists last year for a few hours to hear them talk about closing Los Alamos, and gave a fairly sympathetic hearing. Shame he had to pull out really.

But he's only a journo so nobody took any notice. Pretty sure Keith Olbermann had a lash at it too. But he's a bleeding heart liberal, so what do you expect? This time the message is being delivered via a sandstone bluechip. Wonder if anybody notices? Princeton University reveals how GOP steal elections.
