1. As long as Bill Richardson sees James Baker meddling in the ME

as the answer to the problems in that region, he will not get my support.

[bigtree]

8. he said Bush should send him because he's the president's friend

he undoubtedly has Democrats in mind who he would dispatch from his own administration

[leftofthedial]

2. in a "free trade," screw the American worker

sort of way

[bigtree]

9. his main role was to fight for environmental provisions in the trade legislation

and he fought for environmental concessions from Mexico. Most of the problems with the agreements have stemmed from this administration's unwillingness to enforce any of the sanctions contained in the legislation.

3. He'll never be big on DU, but he is the most experienced of the bunch imo

I don't agree with him on Nafta and the dp, but I really like his LOVE of diplomacy. We will need someone like that to undo all of Bush's damage.

4. I like what I see

very interested in learning more .

5. We certainly have a marvelous assembly of potential candidates,

don't we?

I find it remarkable that one of the Sunday morning know it all shows was discussing the presidential candidates-the republican ones-and the host mentioned that the republircons had good line up of possible contenders. Of course, that wasn't the remarkable part; he immediately followed with a brief quip about the democratic gaggle, using far more complimentary, even superlative, terms.

I was so astounded, I missed his next babble.

6. Richardson would be a strong candidate

if he gets the nomination. He's probably the Democrats' best shot.

7. As much as I like Obama; I would be just as happy for Richardson to get it.
