On Bill Richardson

These links provided me with a private chuckle, as I thought the same about Bill Richardson as Kos - that he's not ready. Let me explain.

Recently, Richardson was quoted saying "Iowa, for good reason, for constitutional reasons, for reasons related to the Lord, should be the first caucus and primary." Huh?

More after the jump...

Kos, took it further by calling him the buffoon of this campaign.

He has been caught not keeping up with the current Iraq war debate, and seems unsure on the gay debate (he did clear it up in a follow-up email).

I originally caught a hint of his awkwardness while addressing national concerns: response to immigration:""I don't like immigration as it's playing today...Everywhere I go everywhere, everywhere I campaign, there's somebody in the audience, somebody gets up and says: Governor, how do you feel about immigration?' And deep down I feel like they are worried, that they're thinking: He's Hispanic and he's going to open the border.'"

He seems to be taking the matter personally, and is obviously bothered. In turn, this bothers me.

I don't care if he's Hispanic, or is the only candidate that will speak Spanish. The only way of getting my vote is to confront the issues of this nation.
