My Letter to Hispanic Business

Dear Editor, I paged through this year’s 100 Most Influential Hispanics with great excitement, only to have it turn to disappointment when I saw who had been left out: New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. I was shocked that Hispanic Business would name Hispanic senators and judges to the list, but overlook the country’s only Hispanic [...]

Must-Read on the Western Primary

There is an excellent article at the Washington Post concerning the new primary schedule, that I am ready to call a “must-read.” I’ve got so much to say about this article that I can barely see straight. I am going to organize my thoughts into labeled subheadings, just to keep everything straight. A. Who’s Workin’ [...]

Bill’s Energy Resume: Glowing

(I know, that’s a terrible, terrible joke.) The Washington Post has a great article about Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper tooling around on a Vespa and other ways that national leaders are setting energy examples and implementing smart local energy policies. The piece also has a short and sweet summary of Bill Richardson’s recent energy policy [...]

Gov. Richardson’s Press Conference With Kaine

( Water )

I am back from Virginia. It was an excellent trip, and I’m really glad I made it. I’ll have to take several posts to completely write about all the stuff that went on down there, so let’s take it chunk by chunk. On Wednesday afternoon, I attended a press conference with Gov. Richardson and Lt. [...]

BRB Goes To Virginia

Tomorrow, Gov. Richardson will be in Virginia along with Tim Kaine, current Lt. Governor of Virginia and Democratic nominee for the Governor of Virginia. That election is very soon and this event is sure to be extremely exciting. So exciting, in fact, that I’ve decided I can’t stay away! I’ll be blogging about the event [...]

Conversation With A Republican

I was checking the BRB last week when my friend’s boyfriend, a Giuliani-loving centrist Republican, came in. Me: Yeah, I have a political blog with a friend. Him: About what? Me: About Bill Richardson…he’s the governor of New Mexico. We’re trying to stir up some buzz for him. Him: Really. You know, I respect that. [...]

KSL (Utah) on the Western Primary

( General )

For reasons I have detailed many times here, I am rabidly enthusiastic about the Western Primary. I’m hardly alone; this is a bipartisan issue that matters to everybody out in the West. KSL, from Utah, gives its stamp of approval: The value of such an exercise is validated by reflecting on the last couple of [...]

The Onion Kills Bill

( General )

Six Dead In Gubernatorial Suicide Pact: Let it not be said that the Bill Richardson Blog doesn’t bring you comprehensive coverage of our man, including faux-coverage of his death. We’re out here for you.

Richardson goes to bat for Teach for America

That’s right! Teach for America and Bill Richardson, together forever. Wendy Knopp is all, “Do you like my groundbreaking educational program, Bill Richardson?” And the Governor is all, “Yes.”

So: What Got Done?

You could be pardoned for not being able to detail all the things that got done in the Governor’s North Korea trip. This post is a short, simple account. 1. North Korea has committed to unconditionally resuming talks on its nuclear weapons program. 2. North Korea has pledged to allow outside oversight of the disarmament [...]
