Bzzz… on Richardson
by WonkoKevin
Bill Richardson showed up on Face the Nation yesterday but got more Wonksphere buzz from conservative bloggers than from liberal bloggers yesterday. Richardson stated: “”I believe it would be enormously unwise for the Bush administration to start another war before ending this tragic war we’re in today and it does sound like the administration is ramping up. You can just see it.” Richardson’s campaign was also the first to announce third quarter fundraising results: “New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson will report raising a minimum of $5.2 million in funds for the third quarter his presidential campaign announced in a release on Sunday. The campaign said it was “a strong showing in a historically difficult fundraising period…Most importantly, this amount ensures we will have the resources we need to compete in the early states like Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina,” the release went on to say. “We have strong organizations in those states and continue to expand our field operations by adding staff and opening new offices. Additionally, we have a very efficient campaign structure that maximizes every dollar that we bring in.”
