If  Sen. Barack Obama wins the Democratic presidential nomination – not a sure thing but certainly a probability – should  he should consider asking New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson to join his ticket as a candidate for vice-president?
Here's why The Skanner thinks Richardson is worth a look. 
Born in the United States, Richardson spent his childhood in Mexico City before attending a prep school in Massachusetts and Tufts University, where he earned a master's degree in International Relations. He has worked on immigration issues, served on the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and is well known to Latino voters.
Richardson's resume is almost as long and as deep as McCain's. It includes 14 years as a U.S. Congressman, where he worked to protect U.S. interests around the world as a member of the foreign relations committee. He spent a year as America's Ambassador to the United Nations, and two years as Energy Secretary, both under President Clinton. And that's just the job titles, not his accomplishments.
