Guv interviews for top job in quirky ads

Gov. Bill Richardson reacts to the question "So what makes you think you can be president?" in a new campaign ad set to air in Iowa.

. . . two of (Bill Richardson's) new campaign ads feature the governor in a mock job interview - nervous expression on his face included.

In the first ad, the man interviewing Richardson doesn't ask too many questions, instead ticking off the list of his qualifications.

"Fourteen years in Congress, U.N. ambassador, secretary of energy, governor of New Mexico, negotiated with dictators in Iraq, North Korea, Cuba, Zaire, Nigeria, Yugoslavia, Kenya, got a cease-fire in Darfur, nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize four times," the interviewer says, taking a bite of a sandwich and then talking with his mouth full.

"So, what makes you think you can be president?"

The second ad is a continuation of the first, in which the interviewer asks Richardson, a second-term Democrat, to describe all he's done for New Mexico.

Richardson is eager to make a list, highlighting job growth and educational improvements.

The kicker of the ad is when the interviewer says, "For what we are looking for, you might be a little overqualified."

on edit: I knew he had been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.. I was not aware it was 4 times !!!!

They're great!

Too early for me to make any decisions, but I am impressed!

:kick:

Tucker showed it, and went on to say that he is the most qualified candidate to be President. He had on Stoddard from the Hill and Bill Press. They all agreed that he was the one that was going to emerge from the 2nd tier. Even tho Biden is my first choice, I would have no problem supporting Richardson and hope that he does break through.

That's just it. I like the 2nd tier candidates - all of them, far better than the top tier.

A politician running an ad favorable to him? What will they think of next!...


HOLD THE PRESSES!!!!!
