Short interview on the floor

The above headline applies not just to the unidentified TV interviewer pictured here, but the interview Gov. Bill Richardson gave NMI a few minutes later.

The convention floor was a zoo as the roll call vote was about to begin. One of Richardson’s press aides explained that a previously scheduled interview was running late and implied that the interview with NMI might not happen.

A few minutes later, as the interview with the diminutive, shoeless TV interviewer ended, Richardson was led away.

But before he got too far, he turned around, told a staffer, “We’re not going to diss this guy,” referring to this reporter, and proceeded to indulge NMI with a brief, but informative interview about the speech he will deliver from the convention podium later this evening.

New Mexico’s two-term governor and ex-Democratic presidential candidate is scheduled to address the convention sometime around 8 p.m. MST.

Check back later for NMI’s Wednesday interview with Richardson on the floor of the convention in Denver.
