Should Bill Richardson Give Up?
That's the question the New Republic is posing. Their argument, in essence, is that no matter how many awesome commercials the governor from New Mexico runs, he's just not catching fire, and he'd serve the Democratic Party and the country better by running for the New Mexico senate seat Pete Domenici is abandoning.
Richardson is so popular in New Mexico, he'd likely have a cakewalk to the senate. And with Big Bill's help, the Dems might get a filibuster-beating 60 seats, which would ensure a serious progressive agenda. It's hard to argue with that logic, but then again, the Democratic Party has a history of letting members doing what is best for themselves instead of what is best for the collective. That's not a terrible thing. And that's not a terrible picture either, eh?

Some places in the USA these days, a sighting like that would get your ass hauled off to jail on child abuse charges. Unless, of course, you were a big-name politician. Then it would be "an endearing image".
Little girl spotted on the president's lap, reading a book together: "An endearing image" and a super photo-op.
Little girl (OR boy) spotted on a male teacher's lap, reading a book together: "Clap The Child Molester In Irons!!" and what the hell was he thinking actually making physical contact with a pupil??
My, my, it looks like he hates little boys. This is worse than Pat Robertson giving the finger and the Idaho Senator doing a tap dance. I can see that the bloggers don't have much news to report. Must be a slow day.

Good analysis. It is high time democrats take this proven (conservatives) stategy of managing cadidates and divert Richrdson's efforts for collective good for progressive causes.
