Richardson Joins The Race

It's been a forgone conclusion for some time.

The twice-elected Governor of New Mexico was previous a member of the US House of Representatives from the Land of Enchanment from 1983-1997, US Ambassador to the United Nations from 1997-1998 and Secretary of Energy from 1998-2001. He won his first elected as Governor in 2002, being reelected in a landslide in 2006.

The interesting fact? Richardson is the only current Governor in the race. Four former Governors are running on the GOP side, Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, Jim Gilmore of Virginia, Tommy Thompson of Wisconsin and Mike Huckabee of Arkansas
