A Break With Tradition

I don't normally post links, but this article from The Nation has a spot-on assesment of the Richardson campaign. Granted, Richardson has made his fair share of mistakes in this campaign, the "homosexuality is a choice" incident at the Logo debate comes to mind. His lack of attention to the foreign aid issue is also regrettable. (But what candidate is talking about global imbalances?) But, by and large, it seems to me that Richardson is articulating an effective message, particularly on the war issue. Of course, whether he, or anyone, could overcome the tremendous obstacles still facing the second-tier is another matter. These coming months are going to be decisive.
