Bill Richardson, the candidate who:

1) Chose Justice Byron White as his favorite Supreme Court jurist (White is the only one to vote against Roe v. Wade).

2) Thought that Roe v. Wade was something "from the 80's."

3) Always points out that he's a "different" Democrat who doesn't want to tax and spend.

Yeah, I'm going to jump right on that ship.

And by the way, does Richardson plan on leaving the US embassy undefended?  Just curious...

luck turning anyone from Edwards to Richardson.

every US embassay has a marine in front of it.

don't you watch the movies?

Edwards voted against an Iraq war supplemental, HIllary and Obama vote for 4 of them

From the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy blog:

The Supreme Court has been clear and unambiguous.  When Congress, acting in the vast areas of overlapping power, tells the President "no," the President must comply.  Thus, Congress may limit the scope of the present Iraq War by either of two mechanisms.  First, it may directly define limits on the scope of that war--and forbid the President from exceeding these limits--such as by imposing a ceiling on the number of troops assigned to that conflict.  Second, it may achieve the same objective by enacting appropriations riders that limit the use of appropriated funds.  Indeed, the reason that the Constitution limits military appropriations to two years is to prevent Congress from abdicating its responsibility to oversee ongoing military engagements.

Richardson has many issues to overcome. I won't go into them but you can find plenty if you just do some research.

I will take Edwards pie, anyday - love pie. But, beyond his mothers wonderful recipe trying to lovingly help her son some way (as I would do for any of my 3 sons) John Edwards is the main candidate that has brought all candidates to the table on Iraq. He has been the leader on standing up to Bush.

Edwards still has my vote.

Bill Richardson would like seeing such a mean-spirited diary presented as a way to support him. I am an Edwards supporter, but I respect governor Richardson. I'm pretty sure he would want his ideas discussed in a straightforward and respectful way.

And John Edward's pie fundraiser is a pretty good thing. While many candidates are going after big donors,  John Edwards is giving everybody a chance to support him and feel good about being a part of his campaign. He is asking for $6.10. I think that is a pretty great idea. And I like the way his mother shows her support for him by sharing her pie recipe!

Richardson is undermining Democrats and reinforcing Republican framing with his "I won't raise taxes" jackassery. That's about all I need to know about Richardson.

We have PLENTY of anti-war candidates (by which I mean all of them), so why choose the only one who accuses other Democrats of tax-and-spend?

Yes, he says he will take ALL of our military out of Iraq - but I think he is just pandering and trying to woo the anti-war crowd by one-upping the other candidates.
I am open to the idea that VERY limited training or anti-terrorism forces MIGHT be justifiable - but he precludes this all together. And look at how he fumbled the "what if there is genocide in Iraq" question in the last debate.

Richardson does not come across as very Presidential.  His performance in the debate was a disappointment and he did not have the manner of a President.  That might come across as superficial but the truth is you have to look and act the part to get the job and he's doing neither.

Richardson is too Conservative for me to support, but I like the guy. Your unwarranted attack on John Edwards does nothing whatsoever to foward his campaign.

I'd like to point out that Sen. Clinton is currently sponsoring a bill that would deauthorize the war. Not sure how that fits in with the "she'd wait until October" argument.

De-fund the frickin war, dammit. I am for peace. I am no "jehadist". Just cut the money for this debacle! What could be simpler?
