Why did Gore pick him? Exactly because he is the sanctimonious prig we see today. The anti-Clinton moral arbiter. Biggest political mistake I've ever seen. But the year is young.

My thoughts exactly. Why is this man chair of a major committee?

The overarching point is that the more Richardson himself stays in the story, the less his endorsement helps Obama. The Clinton's are doing a good job just making Richardson explain himself every day. They do know how to play the game.

Maybe this segment of Hillary's base can get together for a session with the segment of Obama's base that thinks Hillary killed Vince Foster. There would be a real meeting of the minds.

I'll grant you the Bosnia comments are damaging, but I don't agree about the taxes. They have said they will release them on Apr. 15th. They have already released more years of their taxes than Obama has of his. Besides that, who really cares about what is in their tax return? What do you expect to find there that would be so damaging? It is a nice try on Obama's part to make something out of nothing.

It has nothing to do with her age. Why am I supposed to listen to this particular 17 year old any more than anyone else just because she was in video shot for an ad 10 years ago? Why does her opinion rate a TPM headline? Seems to be our celebrity culture taken to its ridiculous extreme.

Oh, NOW I'm sold on Obama. Forget that Richardson nomination.

My "faux-Democratic" candidate has been instrumental in every Democratic success of the last 20 years. And yes, in some of the failures as well. Everyone has a right to their opinion - I only comment here anymore when the facts are distorted. Many commenters were saying that Obama was addressing the war this week, and Clinton was not. I was pointing out that she had given two speeches on the war this week. Bad timing on her part that she did it this week when Obama was in heavy damage-control mode and getting all the free media. Apparently many Democrats did not even know she talked about her plans for ending the war.

How on earth do you know whther I am "over myself " or not? What does that even mean in this context?

TPM used to be better than this.

How is this a revote? Better change that headline.

No one is going to agree to this. At best it only half respects the January vote. I thing Nelson's suggestion of jsut cutting the delegation in half, but repecting the January proiportions is a better idea, even if it did come from the Republicans.

If we debate McCain on experience, he will win? Obama better speak for himself. Clinton is not afraid to debate McCain on experience. And McCain will make the debate in those terms.
