We all enjoy entertainment, rock-star media attention and being associated with someone flashy or different, but these are hollow reasons to nominate a presidential candidate. We need someone solid, proven and able to bring people of all backgrounds and ideology to the table. We need a candidate who can win! A recent Zogby poll regarding objections to candidates shows current democratic frontrunners as objectionable to the general electorate. The most viable candidate with the least objections was Governor Bill Richardson. Everyone knows Richardson’s experience will dwarf that of his Republican competition. Richardson has improved education in New Mexico, negotiated with dictators, created jobs and renewable energy resources. This candidate has it all--along with a real-person personality! I met Governor Richardson last July 4. His warm personality and obvious concern for people and their situations won my support. A comment made by someone in the crowd confirmed for me Governor Richardson’s electability. A man said “I’m a republican but I’d definitely vote for him!” Let’s nominate a candidate who can bring people from all sides together! I hope that on primary day, you’ll be in Bill Richardson’s corner. I will! As the New Hampshire primary approaches, I urge fellow Democrats to look to the general election.
