		Bill Richardson rides in the front of New Mexico’s float during the 117th Tournament of Roses Parade on Monday in Pasadena, Calif. High winds and rain partially damaged the $165,000 float, which was the state’s first entry in the parade in 56 years.
		The New Mexico float failed to capture any of the parade’s design prizes but was met warmly by parade-goers who shouted “Viva Nuevo Mexico” and “Go, New Mexico, go.” Gov. Bill Richardson, wife Barbara and other riders representing the state’s cultural diversity wore plastic ponchos over their costumes as rain pounded this Los Angeles suburb.
		But as the parade wore on, the relentless rain began to strip away the floral covering from a mechanical horse at the float’s front, which had an attached buckboard in which the Richardsons were riding.
