A Random Thought. . .

With all of the election focus on energy issues and foreign policy, it's odd that one name hasn't cropped up on the Democratic VP "short list" that the TV bobbleheads are endlessly yakking about: Gov. Bill Richardson, former Energy Secretary, UN Ambassador, congressman, and popular Hispanic governor of a western state. Yes, the Clinton camp despises him for his "treason" during the primaries (but they'll dislike almost anyone other than Hillary for VP), and the Governor allegedly has a eye for the ladies. But the fact that he's not being mentioned is, again, odd considering the issues surfacing.
