...Richard Lamm, the former Democratic Governor of Colorado, has made no secret of his long-shot hope to become the party's presidential nominee. This week he plans to announce that he will actually run for it. Then it's on to an appearance on a favorite Perot stage, CNN's Larry King Live. But two important questions remain for Lamm.
