Comments on Bloggers for Richardson (Or, At Least, His Iraq Plan)

passionate though they may be, these figures are not known for doing things that make sense.

Richardson is an interesting case. In a blogger breakfast here last year, he said "I don't know anything about blogs, but I have people who do".

Bloggers: "So, who are they?"

Richardson: "I don't know, but my staff does. Staff?"

Staff: "Um, we don't know ... but we'll find out."

Fun guy, but not a detail guy.

Chris Bowers has (of course) blogged about his reasons. Yes, he wants to drive the "no residual troops" option into the national policy debate.

This is a good ad campaign, making a very good point. Richardson, aside from Kucinich and Gravel, has the best position on Iraq. For other reasons, I'm not a big fan of his campaign, but he deserves credit on this. Hopefully, a sustained Richardson campaign that attacks the leading candidates on this issue will eventually bring those leading candidates around, so that the nominee will have the right position. Richardson himself isn't going to be the nominee.

I think its way to early to say that Richardson is going nowhere, especially when you look closer at polls in the early primary states.
