He does seem healthy and invigorated about life. I'm glad that he has brought all of us together. I will respect him in whatever decision he makes. Maybe he saw that he needed to wake us up before he retired, or maybe he will fight on.
As for Jesse Ventura, well I like him, but I think that he's full of hot air about running. Being a wrestler taught him how to be part of the show.
Gary Johnson is the real deal. I moved to New Mexico in 2001 for college. He is the one that set the stage for the current economic prosperity that Bill Richardson came along and stole the limelight for. My wife's mom still lives there. Things aren't so great anymore for everyone.
When Johnson's terms were up, we had a Republican named Sanchez, Bill Richardson, and a Green Party candidate named David Bacon (maybe others that I was not informed about). I voted for Bacon. A rapid rail system between Santa Fe and Albuquerque sounded like a great idea for a prospering state. Well.... Bill Richardson won. My wife's mom is still waiting on that train.
