Gov Bill Richardson
For an interesting video (9min 56sec) check out the YouTube Interview Video with New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, formerly congressman representing Taos.
Democratic presidential primary candidate and Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson talks with Ben Smith of YouTube's political team. Richardson talks about his "Job Interview" YouTube video, answers users questions, and delivers a message to North Korean Leader Kim Jong-il.
"A lot of people ask me, well would you be interested in being vice-president or secretary of state. The answer is 'no', because I have the greatest job in the world. And I've got four years to go as governor of New Mexico. Of course I' want to be president, but if that doesn't happen, I'm into building bridges, bringing people together, doing things.
"A governor can create jobs and make a state renewable..., make schools better. Build and create new jobs. That's what I like to do. A governor can do that, so in five years if I'm not president, I'll still be governor..."
