BR in the sticks
Submitted by I_heart_BR on Fri, 11/30/2007 - 09:01.
In case you missed it, my boy Bill was featured in a story on NPR's Morning Edition this morning. BR is targeting rural voters in Iowa by visiting all 99 of its counties (he's been to 98 so far).
There's clip from the story in which Richardson says he'd name his cabinet before the general election, so voters would not just know who their president was, but the entire team he would be using to run the country. He went on to say he would include Independents and Republicans in his cabinet. What other candidate is going to do that?

I liked Bill, I really did. BUT he kept making stupid mistakes on the campaign trail, Like thanking AFSME at the SEIU Convention. Then I went up to I-o-way 3 weeks ago to the Jefferson Jackson Dinner to listen to the candidates speak in person. Biden and Dodd had some boring speeches but they didn't even begin to be anywhere near as bad as Richardson's. It was the worst Presidential campaign speech I have ever heard. AND I have heard many in the over 40 years I have been active in politics. At this point with the ass kissing he is doing with Hillary to have a position on the ticket or a cabionet post, it is time to write him off the Presidential list. The voters of Iowa seem to think similarly by his drop in the polls in the last few weeks.
Thanks for the info
Everything I know about BR is what I've read. I haven't seen a lot of him on TV, except on Meet the Press and in the debates, where he doesn't get the time to drone on. I'm not ready to give up on a guy just because he's dull, but charisma is always listed as a characteristic of a good leader, and my guy apparently has very little of that. At least if he gets the VP nod, I'll get to see him debate at Wash U, but as of now, I'll still be voting for him Feb. 5.
Richardson
Problem is Richardson probably won't be position to name his cabinet, but I like the idea of including Independents and Republicans. I don't think anyone has done that since Lincoln.
