Okay, I'm more or less having a conversation with myself here.
So, I really think Richardson is running for Hillary's VP slot. I struggle to think why he would believe that he'd have a better chance than the top 3. But he needs some national exposure, so he'll do the campaign for a bit, drop out when he comes in 4th or 5th (or worse) in the first few primaries, but will be strongly considered a good shot for VP nominee.
He was in the Clinton Administration and I think good friends with Sen. Clinton? I wonder if they've already talked and set things up for a Clinton/Richardson ticket. That would be powerful--many people are longing for the Clinton years and two people from that era running together could be the ticket to success.
On another note, anyone see Kennedy on Meet The Press? He said that he will support John Kerry if he runs.
