Bill Richardson reportedly has withdrawn as the commerce secretary-designate in the face of a federal grand jury investigation into whether the former presidential candidate exchanged government contracts for campaign contributions.

My thought hopefully the light is shinded on this guy and hes made out for who he truly is. Is there any decent Political people left except Paul, Kucinich, Barletta, Ventura

So, some of Obama's hand-picked people aren't even making it to the inauguration.

Even the Clinton and Bush administrations had a better track record than this.

Of course we will have to wait and see how this plays out, but I would not be so quick to pass judgment. Although the circumstances make Richardson look shady he is NOT guilty until proven so.

As a New Mexican resident I have mixed feeling on the man, but I am not so willing to immediately pass judgment on him either.
