Bill Richardson: Climbing, With a Golden Opportunity

David Yepsen is one of Iowa's most respected political writers, and he sees Bill Richardson on the rise in Iowa.

In fact, Yepsen hits on a golden opportunity for the Gov. Right now, the Top Three are all having troubles of their own. Hillary Clinton's electability is coming into question and that appears to be an issue that won't go away soon. Barack Obama's experience is, likewise, being examined by Iowa voters, and John Edwards suddenly seems, to a lot of voters, like a too-angry-for-primetime kind of candidate. There's a window of opportunity that is wide open right *now* for Bill Richardson. I hope he seizes the moment.

This is completely unrelated to your post, but I wanted to get this idea out to others that support BR.

Bill needs greater recognition. We're getting closer to crunch time, and while he is slowly trending up in Iowa and N.H., I get the impression that most of the country isn't familiar with him.

Perhaps he needs someone to do something gimmicky, similar to the 'Obama Girl' video on YouTube.

I was thinking something along the lines of his interview ads; humorous, impressive, and with tuba music.

Here's an idea....a Bill Richardson haiku!

Vote Bill Richardson
Brains, guts, and experience
Our next President

Richardson is a clown and an inept buffoon, the 'Benny Hill' of the Democratic presidential candidates. He couldn't run the Department of Energy or even tamp down the spy scandals at Los Alamos. He's pro-amnesty on immigration in everything but the word 'amnesty' - a strange position, as he claims to support unions, but sides with businesses that profit by exploiting illegal workers for low wages while driving out companies that follow the law and pay higher wages and benefits.

He stammers. He flip-flops. He delivers confused, canned, and out-of-date foreign policy sermons full of factual errors. How could he possibly administer the highest office in the land?
