New Mexico's largest newspaper called the news a shocker after the state's governor withdrew from consideration as commerce secretary in the Obama administration. The Albuquerque Journal devoted three-quarters of Page One to the news that broke Sunday, along with reaction and a recap of the reason Bill Richardson withdrew -- a federal investigation into one of the governor's political donors. The New Mexican in Santa Fe said, "New grand jury will be impaneled to probe a possible 'pay-to-play' scheme." The newspaper broke out the fallout -- that the lieutenant governor's plans to take over for the governor have been put on hold. The New Mexican led its Web site today with Richardson's comment from this morning that he "was hurting" over the decision.
