One more to the list
Yet another expected announcement today, this time it is governor, Bill Richardson:
The New Mexico governor, Bill Richardson, jumped into the 2008 presidential race today, announcing that he had formed a campaign exploratory committee in order to seek the Democratic nomination.
"I am taking this step because we have to repair the damage that’s been done to our country over the last six years," said Mr. Richardson in a statement. "Our reputation in the world is diminished, our economy has languished, and civility and common decency in government has perished."
This is probably not the end of the list of candidates, and we are expected to see more of them joining the race in coming weeks. I love watching the debates , mostly the early ones with all candidates still in the race, and the next 22 months going to be very interesting to follow. I didn’t check the statistics, but it seems to me that this election season, and the major players campaign announcements, starts early than usual.
And as last remark: I’m still waiting for the Democratic candidate that will try to appeal to the independent and Libertarian leaning votes and I didn’t see one yet. It is an historical chance for the Democrats to break the historical alliance between the Libertarian and the conservatives, which seems right now as something the democrats insist to miss.
