Whatever happened to Richardson? I actually liked him a bit in 2008. Thought Obama would consider him for SoS and thought it was quite telling when Obama went otherwise first with Clinton and then with Kerry. I did hear about ethical questions though regarding him but not sure how true those were.

He was on the short list (or possibly actually nominated) for Commerce Secretary in 2009, but there was a federal grand jury investigation into pay-for-play allegations. Even though there was no indictments issued, that’s not something that typically allows one to stay in politics.
