The Race for 2008: In Richardson’s Corner
Writing in Madison’s Capital Times, Dave Zweifel explains why democrats are making a mistake overlooking Richardson: “Gaebler, who is approaching his 86th birthday, brandished a letter he received from Richardson after he wrote the governor earlier in the year.
In bold letters across the front of the envelope, just above the address, were these words: “The war in Iraq is not the disease. Iraq is a symptom. The disease is arrogance.”
The letter inside spells out Richardson’s stands that we need to get our troops out of Iraq this year if only to dispel the notion that so much of the world has that we’re there only to exploit the country’s oil reserves. We must start today to undo the damage that the Bush administration has caused, he adds.
Besides, Gaebler said, Richardson’s a governor, and it’s the governors who have been successful presidential candidates in modern times, not senators.”
