Governor on Real Time: After the Show

Ok I would have posted this last night but my husband was fixing my computer.

I thought the interview was great. Richardson was affable and bright, and really talked in an articulate manner about the situation with North Korea in a way that didn't use platitudes or empty headed rhetoric, the stuff we have become way too familiar with during the Bush Administration.

He really is impressive!

I particularily enjoyed when Maher alluded to a possible presidential run, and he said to the Governor..."So your mother is from Mexico, your father from Nicaragua, why the waspy name?" and Richardson came back with, "Well, I haven't decided on a presidential run, but if I do I will sure be the 'dark horse'!

Priceless.

Ok, now we just need to see him on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Colbert Report.

I love it!!! Wish I could have seen it, but I don't get HBO....
Unfortunately,I also missed some of the Gov.'s other recent TV appearances (Today, Sit. Room)...I was in the process of moving and didn't always have access to a TV.
I'm looking forward to other TV spots soon, though - I hope! :)

...We spent the night in Santa Fe, on the way to Colorado, and I kept watching the local channels, hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the Gov.'s campaign spots, but no such luck. :(
