Gov. Richardson worked on his birthday.

(CNN) – On the list of ways to spend one's 60th birthday, it's hard to imagine that standing on stage beside a group of tough political competitors and being judged by millions would crack the top ten. But New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson apparently didn't mind Thursday night in Las Vegas as he slugged it out for the Democratic presidential nomination six decades to the day after he was born in Pasadena, California.

A questioner from the audience took a moment to wish Richardson a happy birthday.

Yeah, a supposedly undecided voter knew it was Richardson's b'day…gee what are the odds?

I'm listening now to the commentary and you guys have no idea how bad this debate was and it will not help Hilliary like you want it to because just about every candidate's supporters have panned this debate (except Hilliary supporters).

This debate has really turned me off to CNN. From now on I'm watching MSNBC.

Though I respect Bill, I won't vote for him, Obama is my choice…

I do share a Birthday with Richardson though, alas I'm 31 yesterday (15th)

This guy's a winner

Having listened closely to this monumental blow-hard during the debate, it's clear the only thing he is capable of is boring folks to death. He'd have spent his time better at a private birthday sleep-over with the Mexican President.
