Bill who?

I was sad to see Bill Richardson drop out of the presidential sweepstakes. It’s not that I was a personal supporter – I’m not there with anybody yet. But the fizzle of his candidacy does make you wonder what the voters really are looking for.

We see Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama constantly poking at each other over who has the “experience” for the job.

Richardson’s resume includes a governorship, a stint in Congress, an ambassadorship, a cabinet post, personal relationships with foreign leaders and he’s bilingual. What other “experience” did he need to match the front-runners in his party? Yet mention his name to most people and you still get a “Bill who?” response.

I guess he just lacked the experience of being a star.
