The <st1:state st=\"on\"><st1:place st=\"on\">New   Mexico<\/st1:place><\/st1:state> governor is on MySpace.

It was made by whoever is behind the site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.americaforrichardson.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">America for Richardson<\/a> (it might be his secret 2008 presidential squad, for all I know), a site that is attempting to grow an Internet grassroots network to aid <st1:city st=\"on\"><st1:place st=\"on\">Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>\u2019s potential 2008 presidential run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p> <\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">As far as MySpace sites go, <st1:city st=\"on\"><st1:place st=\"on\">Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>\u2019s is fairly simple. But you can learn a few tidbits that conjure up some interesting images. <st1:city st=\"on\"><st1:place st=\"on\">Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> likes swimming. His body type is listed as \u201cMore to love!\u201d He\u2019s a fan of modern art and Toby Keith.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p> <\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><st1:city st=\"on\"><st1:place st=\"on\">Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> currently has 34 friends on MySpace, which is a pretty small number as far as MySpace sites go. His friends include \u201cD-Lust,\u201d a 25-year-old man from <st1:city st=\"on\"><st1:place st=\"on\">Albuquerque<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> whose quote is \u201cNeal Patrick Harris would not do that!\u201d and Tarazosaurus, whose profile lists her as a 14-year-old female but who, judging from the profile picture of a man groping her gluteus, is not 14 at all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p> <\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Other <st1:place st=\"on\"><st1:city st=\"on\">Richardson<\/st1:city><\/st1:place> friends include \u201cJohnny Upchuck,\u201d who is holding a beer in his profile photo, and the MySpace site for Al Gore\u2019s \u201cAn Inconvenient Truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><o:p> <\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I\u2019d expect this site to grow quickly.
