Bill Richardson

In an interview with Aaron Harber, U.S. Sen. Ken Salazar (D-Denver) listed Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, Gen. Wesley Clark, and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson as potential Democratic vice-presidential candidates, PoliticsWest is reporting.

Salazar also said he would accept the VP nomination if presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama offers it to him, PoliticsWest reported -- though he added, "I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it."

The interview was taped on Monday and will soon be posted online at the Web site of Harber's  television show “Senate In Balance.”
