Richardson: We Like Funny

Presidents have to govern their countries, but do they have to make people laugh, or even smile? I think so -- most teenagers can relate better to adults who use smart, ironic humor. That's why these ads from Bill Richardson, the Governor of New Mexico, work for me, especially because they don't put anybody else down. Take notes, campaign crews for the rest of the pack.

Richardson's the only childless candidate in '08; he'd be the first President in 84 years without kids (Warren Harding was the last). He's been married to Barbara Flavin, his high school sweetheart, for 33 years. They met when he was hitchhiking and she gave him a ride ... hey, wait a minute, I thought we weren't supposed to do that.
