It is interesting how some point the finger at Bill Richardson for the current rise in oil?

Bill Richardson has not been Secretary of Energy for the last 7 years, what has the Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham and Samuel Bodman been doing in the last 7 years?

Bill Richardson actually negotiated with OPEC to raise oil production which resulted in lower prices during his tenure.

The facts are Bill Richardson is not accountable for the current rise in oil prices, Secretary Bodman is, and the current Secretary of Energy, and who is part of an administration that believes in the free market.

Pointing the finger at Bill Richardson for the current rise in oil price is lame and meaningless.

Richardson is the only candidate with foreign policy experience. Give the guy a break! Obama claims he has the most experience because he lived in another country when he was 10 year old. Hell, I could be his Secretary of State because I had a layover in France for 3 hours....I not only am I an expert on the French now, but I also have an indepth understanding of all the countries represented by the people who walked pasted me.

If you wanted our future President to have a strong vast knowledge of foreign affairs, Iowa took care of that ,( not happening), Watching the latest debate in New Hamphire last night, it was so clear it needed Joe Biden's knowledge and experience, but I forgot this year "in voque", is so called "CHANGE".

My pro-Richardson comment has been "awaiting moderation" since 3:03 pm ET – what gives?

I have had a comment since 2:35 AM. CNN continues its rolr of censor on these blogs

I liked when they pointed out he was in New Hampshire 20 years ago as energy secretary....and touted the same rhetoric then....he was ineffective....and would continue to be....

Charles Gibson a moderator for "ABC" appears to know only what is printed in the NY Times, Murdoch's Newspaper. Charlie, look Up Scalar Wave Defense! Give Up on the Dick Cheney Scare Tactics.

So here we go again. A minor slip of the tongue and the right-wingers will jump all over it. Bill Richardson has vast diplomatic experience. If the right-wingers jump on it, it shows you how desperate they are.

I agree with Harold – give Richardson a break – and I also think he deserves more press coverage than he has received to date. I have a greater appreciation for the man after watching last night's debates on ABC. He is far more knowledgeable and experienced then I had realized and was definitely more classy than some – choosing to accentuate his abilities rather than cast verbal stones at the other candidates. Hang in Bill – and good luck!

While I am losing hope that American will realize what a great president Bill Richardson would make, he certainly has distinquished himself as the candidate with the most foreign policy experience. And that is despite the gaffe. Obama/Richardson? Edwards/Richardson? Either would have my vote.
He also had the best line of the night – "I've been in hostage negotiations that were more civil than this", he said, after Clinton when on a mild tirade.

A diplomat is exactly what we need right now. Not a military-industrial complex shill like Hillary, or phonies like Obama and Edwards who will say anything to get elected.

Out of all four on stage, Richardson is by far the best choice with regard to foreign policy. So therefore like Kucinich and Gravel before him, he will obviously be the next to be pulled out of the debates.

The moderator let him ramble on too long on questions.

Oh give the guy a break!!

Richardson looked like Porky Pig with bad Hair.

Go Bill Richardson.

Make hispanics proud.

God I'm glad somebody notices this other than me. There's a big question mark by it on my notes.
