COUNCIL BLUFFS - Bill Richardson has negotiated with dictators.
He's been the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson was U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and energy secretary under former President Clinton. If elected, Richardson would be the first Latino president in U.S. history.
He's run a large federal agency - the Department of Energy.
He's the only governor among the Democratic presidential hopefuls.
If experience were the only criterion in presidential politics, Richardson would be one of the top-tier candidates, instead of a dark horse hoping for a late surge in Iowa's caucuses.
Richardson also has the most unequivocal message on the Iraq war - the issue he says "defines the race." He is the only Democratic contender who says all U.S. troops should withdraw from Iraq as soon as possible.
