DU GROUP PROPOSAL: Bill Richardson Group

[UrbScotty]

In 1976 and 1992, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton respectively lept from 'second-tier' status in the primaries to win the Democratic nomination, and ultimately become President. If any Democrat pulls off that feat in 2008, my money would be on Bill Richardson to do that. Clinton, Edwards, Kucinich, and Obama each have groups here on DU, and I'd like to add Richardson to the mix. Try this group mission statement on for size:

The mission of the DU Bill Richardson Group is to discuss the current Governor of New Mexico and 2008 Presidential candidate. Members are invited to discuss Richardson’s role in the Democratic Party and the 2008 campaign; his wide range of experience in Congress, the Clinton Administration, and New Mexico’s Governorship; his positions on such issues as foreign affairs, the economy, and our environment; as well as campaign and media appearances, speeches, and writings. Members may also discuss ways to support the Richardson campaign. Only comments portraying support for Governor Richardson’s campaign, or projecting a positive view of his campaign, are welcome.

Would you be willing to contribute to this group? If so, please reply and let us know!
