New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is running for President. While Richardson is not hugely active on the international scene, you may remember him as the man who helped broker a cease-fire in Darfur.
But what I’m really interested in here is the media’s coverage of his announcement. Here are a handful of the headlines I’ve seen over the weekend:
- Bill Richardson announces bid for White House
- Richardson Touts Experience As Cure For Underdog Status
- Democrat Richardson seeks office
- New Mexico governor takes first step toward White House bid
- Richardson to Seek Democratic Nomination
Basically just the sort of headlines you’d expect for this story, right? Now lets look at the take News Corporation’s The Australian has on it:
Latino throws his sombrero in ring
Is it just me or is that an odd choice of headline?
