A reason other than my paycheck to look forward to the end of the month
Thanks to the Turner Report I read this very exciting news:
"New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who is barely registering in most polls, has told other Democrats that he expects to raise more money than Edwards this quarter."
Eat it Hair Cut!
(Now I seriously hope that he doesn't end up with egg on his face by not meeting the high expectations he has set for me. After all, how does he know how much Edwards is raising?)
The Wall Street Journal is also talking about Richardson's money in relation to Bloomberg's money:
"New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, a candidate of significant experience who is struggling to raise enough money because he comes from a small state and is less well-known than his competitors."
The editorial gets into allowing unlimited contributions to candidates to give less-known candidates a chance the way Bloomberg's money gives him a chance. It's a compelling argument, but it fails to address the problem of leaving public servants indebted to someone other than the people who voted for him or her.
