Adore him, is more like it. They point out that he has real credentials and compassion. And, a wicked, edgy sense of humor too. He reminds many of another Southwesterner, Arizona's Morris Udall, a former Presidential candidate who looked like the gangly, straight-talking tall-in-the-saddle cowboy he was. Udall was so blessed with good humor that some journalists wrote "you're just too funny to be President." It was Udall who pointed that the significant difference between a cactus and Congress was that a cactus was rather better at keeping pricks on the outside. I get the impression that Richardson inherited the Udall brains, sensitivity and humor. Lord knows we need a leader with all three. In fact, a President given to self-deprecation might be a refreshing change indeed. </p> <p>RB Scott<br /> Dover, Mass.</p> Fri, 23 Feb 2007 08:35:38 -0500 RB Scott comment 935 at http://www.blogsnh.com/drupal http://www.blogsnh.com/drupal/blog_entry/mike_pride/first_impression <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="Bodycopy"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2">Gov.
