Should Bill Richardson withdraw from the presidential race to run for Domenici's senate seat?

Question

I know he's said he will not do so, but that might not be what's best for himself and the party.
I'm a big Bill Richardson support, but I think that perhaps he'd be better off running for the open senate seat in New Mexico.

Wizards, it's interesting you say he needs more experience. Bill Richardson, who served New Mexico's 3rd district for 14 years in Washington, has more legeslative experience then Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards, or Fred Thompson.

Answer 1

I see your question brought the 'We hate people of other heritage' Republicans out of the woodwork...

I wish he would; Because I think he would put the state very much in play for them Dems, But he has apparently ruled it. If someone else is the Dem candidate, It's hard to see that race as one of the high profile ones. But stranger things have happened.

Answer 2

I agree. I think Bill Richardson would make a strong candidate for U.S. Senator. He already knows his way around DC politics. . He is not even in top three or fourth of the pack. He is just wasting his time and the time of the people who have contributed $ to his campaign.

Answer 3

I'd rather see him as a Senator instead of President. He needs experience in the House. I don't agree with the Dems position on amnesty.

Answer 4

Richardson and parts of his staff should be brought up on charges. Check the news from NM. What a bunch of crooks, government just like Mexico is what that man is after.

Answer 5

I think Richardson should withdraw and run for some office in Mexico since he is so proud of his Mexican heritage and that he can speak Spanish. Good riddance.

Answer 6

Governor is a leadership position. Senator is not. So why would he run for senator?
