I wonder if Bill Richardson thought he was going to be named as Obama’s VP. He was on hand at the Rio Grande High School gym rally and gave a very spirited pep talk before introducing the senator to a packed house. He sat intently looking on from the front row, nodding when Obama made points that he agreed with. He clapped at all the right moments. But, the second that Obama finished his speech, Richardson was gone. If you blinked, you missed it. He didn’t even wait for Obama to come by on the rope line for one more handshake. It was like the Roadrunner, just a cloud of dust. Meep meep.
Time to eat.
One of the best things about traveling with a candidate is the food. The only problem is how much food there is. Just about every event has food as does every flight and bus ride. If you aren’t careful you can end up looking like the Michelin Man in no time. It is hard to resist though when the advance staff sets up spreads of local fare. Today we were treated Mexican. I love the food in New Mexico. Every campaign visit I have ever made to New Mexico has been a good culinary experience. Today was no exception. Tacos, enchiladas, chips homemade Mexican cookies – good stuff.
My quick trip inside the bubble ended after the high school event. When the motorcade arrived at Cutter Aviation I hopped off, grabbed my bag and headed to the main terminal for my flight home. This was a very short trip, but there is plenty more in the coming months. Onward to the conventions.
