Companies like to get people just out of school....because they haven't been told "thats not possible" yet

A recent poll shows that 70% of American describe themselves as "moderates" – social liberals and fiscal conservatives....theres only one running – Giuliani (now if you are willing to forego getting marital and child rearing advice from the president – he will be an excellent one) and another plus corrupt unions hate him too....

WHY ISN'T HE AT THE TOP OF THE PACK???!!! IF YOU STUDY HIS POSITIONS ON THE ISSUES, HE'D BE ELECTED IN A HEARTBEAT!!!

PLEASE LOOK INTO KUCINICH!!! HE IS THE BEST CANDADATE BY FAR!!!

If he really cared about this country in the way he claims, he will get out of the way and tell his supporters to give their support to Obama and Edwards. Unlike Richardson, Obama and Edwards are clean, not perfect, but clean and fierce fighters. I truly believe that an Obama/Edwards ticket is the most powerful gift every democratic candidate for president could give a hurting America. If Richardson is truly devoted to making NM and America greater, he would run against Heather Wilson and kick that calculating witch out.

We need a Congress and Senate that will adopt and create the solutions that will be presented by Obama and Edwards. Our country is drowning in corruption. Be very very careful about the real agenda behind CNN's Lou Dobbs, Ego of the 1st Degree. He won't acknowledge the history, agenda and reality of what Obama and Edwards have been presenting in response to the needs of the working families of our country. Shame on Lou. You really had some of us convinced that you really cared about the middle class, but this "crocodile" concern has only been a vehicle for you.

The media hasn't given Bill Richardson a fair shake from the get go. I'm getting really tired of the glossy candidates the media and corporations support. Same big money blah blah blah, different day.

BILL RICHARDSON FOR PRESIDENT 2008

He's the best qualified candidate on either side. I hope the debate gives him the opportunity to get it all out there. Come November he's got the best chance of confronting the wacko right wing onslaught – but that's not going to sell papers, so sadly I suspect the media will continue to lust over the drama queen's dirty laundry and we'll end up worse off for it.

Big hopes to Obama to add him as VP. Charisma for change meets experience and brains.

He has a better record of cutting taxes than any republican in the race.

He is pro second amendment.

He has already talked to america's enemies.

He is an important part of the coalition of governors pushing energy independence and GHg policy.

He may not be the great orator that obama is, but he is a remarkably different democratic candidate and he should let a primary accurately measure his support and let 5 day's of reflection guide the supporters to new candidates rather than the few hours of a caucus.

Any red state democratic governor than won relection with 68% of the vote deserves a strong look in a narrowed field of candidates. Without richardson pushing the war issue this last year hitting every other candidate except kucinich on their lack of a commitment to get out in their first term our parties primary position heading into the war would be leaving the door wide open for an independent anti war candidate to destroy our electoral chances in november.

Bill has already added great value to the process and party platform simply by being on stage. I'm hoping he talks more about his tax record as a governor and killing No child left behind and instead providing funding for teachers salaries and math and science teachers as well as a way for people to work of their debt in public service. That should play in NH that typically dislikes washington mandates that tell you how to do things. Well no child left behind is one of those that also provides no funding.

IS TIME TO GET TOGETHER AND DECIDE FOR A "REAL PRESIDENT" OF THE
U.S.A. PROMISES ONLY HAVE BRING ALL OF US TO THESE VERY POOR
STATUS IN AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD.

PLEASE FRIENDS PRAY THAT WE GET SOMEONE HONEST TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES...AND NOT A POLICEMAN OF THE WORLD.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT(SHE OR HE)WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
WORK ON THE HEALTH CARE,EDUCATION AND PROVIDE US WITH SOMETHING WE US, AMERICANS NEED.... RESPECT!

BE PREPARE TO VOTE,IS THE ONLY WAY TO CHANGE THINGS FOR BETTER
FUTURE GENERATIONS!

u.s

u.s.a ppROMISES

To say that being fourth in Iova (after his intensive efforts) is promising, forgetting to add that his votes were about 1/16th of the first and 1/7th of the third can only be qualified as a mockery of the citizens of New Mexico, where their governor, instead of addressintg between many other most grave problems of corruption, squander, crime, education and inefficiency, is now nearly for a year pursuing an absurd quest for the presidency.

Not so absurd from his personal point of view, as his intention seems to be to
build a sizable, even if small, loyal followship between the Hispanics which he
thinks to be able to barter against prospective federal government positions with
one of the leading candidates.. Unfortunately for him, his fellowhip is shrinking parallely topeople realicing his nil chances and history teaches that votes are in
a high pecentage not transferable

You are not wanted. Give it up and go away.

BIll Richardson is the ONLY candidate running who would TROUNCE the Republican nominee next November. I'm shocked (but not really, considering Dem stupidity in '04) that folks are such sheeple in gravitating to the "big 3" none of whom have ANY real world experience in governing and foreign affairs. What a sad state our country is in.....

Corporations and affluent voters do not give money to candidates without a clear understanding that they personally will benefit if the candidate is elected. Since more and more money is being transferred to our very small very rich upper class, the 50% of the electorate who have less than $47,000 in annual home income are effectively disenfranchised. The wealthy can effectively veto a candidacy by withholding contributions.

The occasional popular candidate will emerge, like Huckabee, who arouses passions in the true-believers, but this will happen less often as time goes by. And, I predict that Huckabee will not win the nomination. The moneyed interests will pour money into other campaigns and overwhelm the Huckabee effort.

In the current environment, a reincarnated Abraham Lincoln could not possibly be elected.

It is way past time for 100% government financing of political campaigns. The affluent argue that giving money is protected by the free speech provisions of the Constitution, but that is absolute hogwash. Political speech comes out of your mouth or out of your pen, not out of your wallet.

As for the VP's, Richardson is not going to be the pick. The best pick is going to be someone with more Washington DC experience. A Biden pick would be best for Obama.

Sad statement on credentials when people would rather vote for "someone I can sit down and have a beer with" rather than someone who can do the job.

That's what the Evangelicals should really be praying about.

Richardson often had as much as 12, 13, 14% of the vote in the rooms, but because it was not 15%, those precincts were recorded as 0%. Those zeros, along with the rooms where he was viable (like mine), made his average come out at 2%.

In reality he probably had 7-9% of the first vote, I'd estimate. (Iowa never gives out exact figures on caucusing tallies.)

Remember: 1992: Bill Clinton finished 4th with 3% of the vote in Iowa caucus. It's not over till it's over!

Word just in – Wall Street raising millions to undermine Edwards and Huckabee campaigns. Hmmm...think they are scared?

Richardson should get out of the way and let this race focus on the three remaining candidates. Biden added to this debate significantly – Richardson does not.

Personally, I would like to hear an early (by 11 PM EST)
victory call for the next Democratic President of the US.

So, which candidate will turn a number of red states to blue?

Don't think for a minute that this is going to be easy.
Everything negative about Bush Cheney and their congressional
sycophants was out there for all to see in 2004. Still,
Kerry Edwards and the Dems tried to draw the inside
straight by holding the states that went for Gore and flipping
Ohio, leaving the deep red regions in the GOP's pocket.

Obama and Clinton are historic figures.
It remains for the voters to confirm, but each of them have
lined up enough nationwide support to put them in position
to become a first of a kind major party nominee.

There is that very unfortunate (for both parties) trend that
Senators don't win, Governors win.

If the nominee is Clinton, the demonization process from the right
has been ongoing since the early nineties and Wild Bill's easy
victories might have been nail biters too if not for Ross Perot.
So, an early victory for her is doubtful and an ultimate victory
would be in question.

Obama might not have the Clinton baggage and may have the
oratorical skill to close the deal from the convention speech
and debates. Harold Ford came close in Tennessee for Senate
in 2006. It would still be a surprise to see a lot of blue
over the map this November for an Obama led ticket.

Don't think Edwards will flip the South. What did Kerry Edwards
poll in North and South Carolina? Who got Tennessee's votes
in 2000?

Running against Washington is a time honored tradition,
but it does help to know your way around up there and out in the
world as well. Obama and Edwards have a neophyte aura about
them in this department.

Bill Richardson's experience indicates he knows his way
around DC and the world we live in.
Democratic gains have come in the western interior region.
Isn't Denver hosting the convention? Wouldn't a western
Governor be the best shot to seize some of those previously
red electoral votes? Would Texas go for a Mitt or Rudy
over neighborly westerner Richardson? Wouldn't Richardson
have a real shot at winning Florida, officially?

Winning is all about the states.

Obama in '08!

He is very much a part of the status quo group with crooked Hillary. He takes money from anybody, including unprincipled crooks or creeps that will try to drain precious water from a closed basin in Torrance County to pump it uphill to Santa Fe otherwise known as Santa Flesh to us locals. He is very much a part of the establishment. Hence his pandering to Hillary. God help us all if that happens.

Here is the biggest nut to crack of all. NM is a state of dire demographics with a middle class teetering on the edge of extinction and the message of change that Edwards, Obama and Kucinich talk about is the only hope that NM has. What good will it be for us to change from Republican corruption to Democratic corruption if we have a ticket that includes Hillary and/or Bill. Remember Bill is very much an insider of Washington and he did work for Hillary's Bill.

I think he is the frontrunner for VP, though – and an excellent choice.

There is something to be said for the message that will resonate within America, and around the world when a minority becomes the president of the United States. I see no major difference in such an effect whether it is Richardson or Obama. I know it is difficult for many people to pick another candidate when they KNOW they have found a good one. But there is a quality to Obama that is a double edged sword. He has that innate ability to speak passionately and eloquently about his political philosophy. He is bringing so many new people into the political process. He is making them feel as though their voices do have an impact. You do not know for certain that he is the wrong candidate. Unless you have a special power and can see into the future, get those thoughts out of your head.

Unity is his message. Finger pointing needs to change into accountability. Corporations and investment brokers that became wealthy in recent years need to realize that their money is no good if this country falls apart, they need the middle class to be strong. Especially now. Barack gave that speech to those wealthy people on Wall Street. Considering what he was saying it went over pretty well, you should look up that video. He also spoke about renewable energy and the economic gains this country could make if it invested in becoming the world leader in that new cause.

It will do none of you any good to continue to bash one candidate over another without doing any research of your own. Go to the other candidates website and read their solutions to the problems that concern you most. Be more independently minded, and avoid the mainstream media! They do not report things accurately. They constantly take things out of context to make a more compelling story when the full story is boring and doesn't really say anything particularly good or bad about a candidate.

It takes more than just a good person to be a great leader. They have to inspire people to do more than they have. Richardson does not have enough of that within him. I think he could do a great job as the next president, but I am not foolish enough to think that he can get enough support to get past Super Tuesday.

I wish him, and his supporters the best of luck though. And if he drops out, who will you support? It never hurts to do a little research.
