Full interview
New Mexico's Gov. Bill Richardson has impressive political credentials. He served as U.N. ambassador, Energy Secretary in the Clinton administration, seven terms in Congress and, in '04, the first Hispanic chairman of a national Democratic Convention. He's also a four-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee. Richardson was elected governor in '02 by the largest margin of any candidate since '64 and, in the past two general elections, was rumored to be on the short list of VP picks by both Gore and Kerry.
