REASONS TO LIKE BILL RICHARDSON:

He owns a 12-gauge Browning over-and-under shotgun, which he has used for hunting birds, including quail and dove. Richardson also owns a 9mm semiautomatic pistol, which is not for hunting, but he has a state permit to carry it concealed. He has borrowed rifles to hunt big game such as elk, deer and the oryx. . . .

While a congressman, the Democrat voted against a ban on assault weapons and opposed a seven-day waiting period for handgun purchases. As governor, he backed and signed legislation allowing New Mexicans to carry concealed weapons.

His space-related record is good, too. (Via Alphecca). I don't like what he says about the war, though like all the candidates, what he says now is one thing, what he'll do once actually in office in 2009 is another.
