    N.M. governor (Richardson) to meet N. Korea officials
    Associated Press ^ | December 15, 2006 | Deborah Baker




    SANTA FE, N.M. - Gov. Bill Richardson's meeting with two North Korean officials will provide an opportunity for him to play a role he savors as well as showcase a skill in diplomacy that could boost any possible presidential bid.


    Richardson was to meet privately with the diplomats Friday at the governor's mansion to discuss the upcoming six-nation talks on North Korea's nuclear weapons program. The talks are set to begin Monday in Beijing.


    The governor — a former congressman, U.N. ambassador and energy secretary during the Clinton administration — says the North Koreans requested the meeting with him.

    "The only governor with a foreign policy" is how Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, describes Richardson.
    The Democratic governor, who was just re-elected to a second term, has remained active in foreign affairs and is considering running for president in 2008. He has said he would decide in January.

    Actually Richardson is one of the few Dems I like. While I don't care for his party's politics I do think Richardson is well meaning and looks for equitable solutions where he can. Of course I only know the basics of his Governor role and votes in congress so I could be off the mark somewhat but then I could be on many politicians I support or don't. /shrug
