Bill Richardson Calls It Quits

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson will announce tomorrow that he is quitting the presidential race, AP reports.

Good for Bill--it's the right thing for him to do. We liked Gov. Bill and endorsed him early on, but despite about a month of movement during the summer he never really caught on, hindered especially by a couple of erratic debate performances.

Look for Richardson to resurface in someone's cabinet, possibly as Secretary of State, and look for him to help out with the Latino community come this Fall, regardless of who the nominee is.

That is, unless he decides to run for the Senate seat in New Mexico being vacated by Pete Domenici--it would be Richardson's for the taking, although he told Democratic Rep. Tom Udall he wouldn't run, and he should probably honor that promise.
