2008 Presidential Election
Political Wire: "Sen. Evan Bayh (D-IN) 'is making staff and fund-raising changes that some interpret as laying the groundwork for a potential presidential bid,' the Indianapolis Star reports. 'The most noticeable changes are to his leadership political action committee, a fund-raising tool often used by presidential hopefuls to help fund campaign explorations.'"
Meanwhile, according to the Washington Times, presidential candidate Bill Richardson, is trying to establish a reputation as a tax-cutter. From the article, "New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, the only Democratic governor to make business and personal income-tax rate cuts a major part of his agenda in a time of tight budgets, said his party should work to foster a friendlier, pro-tax-cut image that puts more money into the pockets of ordinary taxpayers...Mr. Richardson, who has led a postelection movement to make the Democratic governors a more influential policy-making force in the party, has reduced his state's income tax from 8.2 percent to 4.9 percent and cut the capital gains tax in half." Sounds like a westerner.
