Oh, I agree that Richardson has the best resume; his only real competition on that front is maybe Joe Biden. I like him a lot. But part of the reason the media ignores him is that he has a charisma deficit, and unfortunately that matters a great deal. I think he'll make a fantastic VP, though. :)
And no, the westerner thing is definitely not irrelevant. But of our three front-runners...well, North Carolina is technically East Coast, but not associated with the dread "Liberal Elite." And Obama's actually from much farther West than Richardson. :D Based in Chicago for 20 years, though - the North Coast.
