Richardson for president? American Profile: "Richardson's level-headed position on immigration is indicative of his long-held philosophy of leadership in general: Listen to all sides of an issue, negotiate and, when possible, forge a compromise that is a win for both sides... "With a resume that includes seven terms in Congress and stints as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and the U.S. Secretary of Energy, the four-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee often was the nation's go-to guy when delicate negotiations with Iraq, Cuba, Sudan and North Korea required face-to-face encounters. Although Richardson insists that he is focusing on his November re-election as governor, he has been touted as a possible presidential candidate in 2008."

Hyatt now a union operation Workers at the new Hyatt Hotel have formed a union, just in time to help Denver's bid to host the 2008 Democratic National Convention, according to the Denver Post. From the article, "The city-bonded Hyatt has been the focus of union and political attention since organized labor voted earlier this year to oppose Denver's bid for the 2008 Democratic National Convention unless the hotel was unionized. Labor groups have formally pulled their opposition to Denver's bid, but today's announcement only bolsters the city's bid for the convention." "2008 pres" 6:34:30 AM
