Again, thanks for taking part in this and recommending yesterday's diary. Should Bill Richardson be chosen by Barack Obama to be his running mate, he would not only be the first Latino Vice President but also the first bearded Vice President since Hoover's VP Charles Curtis who sported a moustache. So, should Bill Richardson keep his beard?
