Supposing you were a young, semi-black Senator who just got elected to the office of President of the United States and was searching for a Secretary of State in these troubled times.
Now, supposing you owed your victory in large part to a semi-hispanic, sitting popular governor who's early endorsement and efforts helped convince over two-thirds of the nation's Hispanic voters to vote for you and brought in at least four battle ground states. And who's appointment to Secretary of State would be the highest ever achieved by a Hispanic-American and viewed positively across the land.
Add to this scenario the facts that this bi-lingual Governor's resume includes service in Congress, as special envoy to North Korea, Iraq, Cuba, the Sudan and as Ambassador to the United Nations.
Now then, suppose the other choice was your primary campaign opponent, who's lack of foreign experience you have been hammering at for the last year. Posited as: "serving tea & cookies at international events while first lady". And who's second language (according to the best secret service sources) is limited to four letter or four syllable words and epithets.
So there's your choice -- Bill Richardson or Hellary Clinton! Whom would you vet for the position? Political experience or political soap opera?
