  • While I do not completely agree that Bill Richardson's antiwar stance is the main thing that attracts voters, it is great that Nichols is writing about him and pointing out his growing support and how he is joining the top three candidates.

    I don't think Richardson's experience/résumé is a minor thing, it is the most important thing. He has stronger experience by far than the other three top Democratic candidates, and if one of them were the nominee, they would struggle significantly because of their lack of executive and international experience. I think it is unfortunate that the mainstream media has picked the front-runners for America to pick from and gives no attention to other credible candidates.
