Ladies and gentlemen, I'm making it official. After spending the last two and a half weeks doing extensive research into all the candidates, their records, and their positions on the issues, I'm ready to finally throw my support behind a Presidential candidate. And that candidate, gentle readers, is (drum roll, please)....
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.
I think this ad pretty well sums it up for me....hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
However, please don't construe this in any way as a knock on any of the other candidates. We do have an incredibly talented group of candidates running this year, which is why it's taken me so long to make this decision.
With that said...
If our party is going to get serious about breaking the stranglehold the Republican Party has on the South and rural America, we desperately need to shed our (somewhat undeserved) reputations as tax-and-spend Northeastern liberals.
If we're going to undo the damage the Bush administration has done to America's reputation in the international community, it's going to take an unusually talented diplomat to do so.
If we're going to get serious about climate change, we need a candidate with a truly ambitious plan to push alternative energy.
And finally, if we're going to get serious about ending the quagmire that is the Iraq War, we're going to have to back the only candidate with a plan to bring ALL our troops--combat and otherwise--home immediately.
Enter Governor Richardson. A skilled diplomat and proven leader with an impressive reputation for both ambitious agendas and fiscal responsibility. Simply put, he is exactly the kind of man we need to have leading our country in this rather...interesting time in our nation's history.
Feel free to read more for yourself here.
Now, I know he hasn't exactly achieved the "rock star" status enjoyed by some of the other candidates in this admittedly-crowded Democratic field. But this race shouldn't be about which candidate is the best at raising money or who looks the best on television. It should be about who would be the best person for the job, and no one from either party is more qualified to occupy the offices at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Feel free to disagree with me if you want...that's what democracy is all about. Nevertheless, I'm putting my metaphorical money where my mouth is. I've already contacted Trav Robertson, Jr. (field director for the Richardson campaign) about positions available here in South Carolina. At the very least, this should be a real adventure...I'll keep you posted. Stay tuned!
