· Just days after Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's ground-breaking internet announcement that she will seek the presidency, our former first lady next president will once again use cyberspace to target audiences. Later tonight, Senator Clinton will begin a series of live, interactive discussions about the future of the country. The chats will begin at 7:00 PM EST, tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday night. You can begin submitting questions on her website at 5:00 PM EST and, hopefully, watch her answers.
Clinton's announcement dominated the weekend news and eclipsed two other presidential announcements...
· New Mexico Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson formally announced that he is exploring a White House bid in 2008. The former congressman who also served as President Bill Clinton's energy secretary and ambassador to the United Nations said the country has deteriorated under George Bush. "Our reputation in the world is diminished, our economy has languished, and civility and common decency in government has perished.” If elected, Richardson would be the nation's first Hispanic president.
Dominated the weekend news, wow, William Randolph Hearst could not have created a better story. LOL. The continued bloodiness in Iraq was a significant portion of the news if it did not dominate news cycles.

Richardson used to live in my old neighborhood. The old timers in the neighborhood association told me that when he and his wife first moved in, they wanted to know who all of the connected people were in the neighborhood so they could invite them to dinner and schmooze them up. Of course it wasn't long before he left his new-found acquaintances in Downtown for Uptown. My old friends tell me that he is now the biggest bully in Santa Fe – and extremely profane.
Ambition is nothing new in politics, but Richardson is just not a very nice person.
