I'm giving the check mark to Governor Bill Richardson as the next President of the United States. A crazy predicition based on more fiction than fact? Maybe, but that's just the way I see it. Yes I know he hasn't even declared himself as a presidential candidate, but he will, probably sooner rather than later. I also know he has to receive the Democartic party nomination and he will, so all that's left is victory at the polls and the early returns say that's gonna happen, too.

Bill Richardson will provide the country with the healing leadership required to overcome the eight years of carnage from Tex Junior's run amok run of the executive office. Richardson has also demonstrated numerous times his successful negotiation skills at the national and world level. He is known as the man that can get the cronically differing factions to sit down, talk and agree to common sense solutions. He is a diplomat of the highest order with impeccable credentials.

And his other qualifications for the office? (Any qualifications at all places him way ahead of the last guy.) He's served in Congress, filled a presidential cabinet post and is currently serving as Governor of New Mexico. Bill Richardson is the guy you call when you're out of options and there's a critical job that must be done.

I will be looking closely at the qualifications, accomplishments and life of Governor Bill Richardson and providing my findings here.
