Obama Says Richardson Key Part of Team
By Michael Coleman / Journal Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON -- President-elect Barack Obama said Wednesday that Bill Richardson will be an integral part of his economic team as U.S. commerce secretary and that the former U.N. ambassador will help rebuild America's "economic diplomacy." Obama, speaking at a Chicago news conference announcing Richardson's nomination to the Cabinet, also said the job was not a consolation prize for the New Mexico governor, who apparently was considered for the higher-profile secretary of state position before Obama offered it to Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Disloyal Richardson Truly 'Judas'
By James Carville / From the Washington Post
  Last Friday the New York Times asked me to comment on New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama for president. For 15 years, Richardson served with no small measure of distinction as the representative of New Mexico's 3rd Congressional District. But he gained national stature — and his career took off — when President Bill Clinton appointed him U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and later made him energy secretary.

How Bill Decided on Barack

High Ambition: Richardson Eyes the White House - Part 5 (Feb. 18, 2007)
By Thomas J. Cole Copyright © 2007, Albuquerque Journal; Journal Staff Writer
  SANTA FE— A few days after the November election in 2004, Gov. Bill Richardson and top aide Dave Contarino sat in Richardson's fourth-floor office at the Capitol and chewed over the results. The governor and Contarino had worked hard for Sen. John Kerry, hoping to deliver New Mexico's five electoral votes to the Massachusetts Democrat and help deny President Bush a second term. In the end, Kerry lost New Mexico and the election. That meant four more years of Bush but an opportunity for another Democrat to be the party's nominee for the White House in 2008. "Maybe next time it's going to be us," Richardson said. As he and Contarino prepared over the next two years for a possible Richardson run for the presidency, their mantra became "Do well by doing good." Do good as governor by being socially progressive but cutting taxes and being pro-business; do well with voters as a new-type Democrat.
