6. You have to give him props for saying that.
Hopefully he would extend that to surrogates as well- ALL surrogates- TV, "nutroots" or otherwise.

Also, I hope he doesnt mean that discussing disagreements on the issues is "attacks."

3. I really like Richardson
and probably does have the best resume of all the Dems and Repubs right now.

However, he needs to move beyond reciting his credentials and work on getting his based fired up :toast:

4. I don't know...he's gonna have to do some reume reciting...
Until he gets his name recognition up...he first needs to be taken seriously...then he can ramp up the rhetoric.

5. I wish they would give him more air time on TV.
I'd like to know more about him.

7. I like Richardson...
He has broad experience and credentials, particularly in areas of diplomacy which we're surely going to need following the ** disaster years.

8. I like the guy too. My brother in law who lives in NM thinks he's great.
I'm not supporting anyone at this point, but he's someone I could see getting behind.

He does not have to tie himself in knots over an IWR vote and has broad experience that would serve him well as president.

Unfortunately my liking the guy is usually the kiss of death for any candidate.

9. Where is he on the issues?
He's the one I am most attracted to because of his experience, but if his views are cock-eyed, his experience doesn't matter to me.

I wish someone would make a "Democratic Candidates for Dummies" site - with a table and a nuts and bolts description of where each candidate stands on each issue.
