Reply #18: Richardson has executive experience as well as legislative.

[Carrieyazel]

He was reelected with 68% of the vote in a BATTLEGROUND state. Not an easy task. Being reelected as a Dem in a solid Democratic state is far easier.

He's made great strides in his state with solid economic growth, health care reform legislation, quality of life issues, making state government more efficient and working better for the citizens. And he's actually balanced budgets and has to deal with a state legislature.

But most important, Richardoson WILL win if nominated. He's likable and electable. Governors win, Senators don't. He gives you a big leg up out West. We need Colorado, Nevada and his home state. He has the best shot to win Ohio by far. He'll close it out on Electon Night, no more waiting in frustration all night long for that one last state to get over the top.
