Bill Richardson's Next Job

Hey, I like Bill Richardson. I like his resume. He's made a few missteps along the way, to be sure, but he seems pretty qualified to hold high office in the land.

However, he does not have "it". I don't know what "it" is but I know it when I see it. So do voters. Maybe it's lying about being drafted in the major league draft, maybe it's the careerism, maybe it's a certain smugness, but he hasn't quite connected with most voters.

That's not to say he couldn't be a valuable player in a future administration. Take the poll below the fold and help us pick out Bill Richardson's job in 2009.
