Richardson pulls the plug
Bill Richardson, arguably the best qualified of the Democratic presidential contenders and the first major Hispanic candidate for the White House, has just announced his withdrawal from the race.
Richardson- who, of all the Democratic candidates, should have known better- disappointed me by demagoging the Iraq issue. Withdrawing to our troops to neightoring countries at the moment when the tide has finally turned isn't a grownup proposal, much less a smart move. Still, I'll remember the Richardson campaign for the best commercials of the Iowa caucus season- a humorous series in which he was given a hard time trying to get through a series of job interviews for the presidency because he was supposedly overqualified for the job.
