Richardson runs left

By Salena Zito TRIBUNE-REVIEW Sunday, October 7, 2007

At a recent combined fundraising-campaign stop in Pittsburgh, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said he believed his debate performance in New Hampshire the night before had been the "breakthrough that he needed to move up into the first tier" of candidates. Referring to his break on Iraq war policy from Democrat front-runners Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and John Edwards -- they all had refused to pledge that U.S. troops would be out of Iraq by the end of their first or second term as the next president -- Richardson said he was feeling confident.

"My position on Iraq is going to separate me from the other candidates," he said. "I do not believe in leaving any residual troops. I would bring them back within a year, starting with my first day in office."

Hell, Richardson has been Hillary’s VP all along. She’s going to pick someone loyal to the Clintons.
