Bill Richardson dropped out of the presidential race and thats too bad. I like him. I honestly believed that he was one of the honest ones who talked on a level that we could all understand, instead of the annoying typical political BS that most politicians throw at you.

He supported education and paying teachers, which I will be a teacher next year. He wanted to implement a minimum wage for teachers of $40,000 a year which I think is still too low.

He would have been a good energy and environmental president. He served as energy secretary and had experience implementing policy on energy issues.

I think that him dropping out creates a huge void on the democratic side, one that to me represented a legitimate underdog. When you think of politicians, the last word that comes to mind is honest, with Richardson, it was the first word that I thought of, go figure, an honest politician. If Hilary and Barack had not created such a huge stir in this election, I think Bill would actually be a front runner.
