Richardson for president? Jesse Cornett (via the Western Democrat): "Somewhere in the mix of his slightly tailored for the elections community stump speech, [presumed presidential candidate Bill] Richardson earned this post. He took two minutes out to talk to this group about the importance of blogging. We're not all young, he pointed out. And it's not just the D's or the R's who are doing it. He encouraged them to embrace the blogosphere with the pronouncement that we are here to stay and will make a difference in our democracy." "2008 pres" 7:09:57 AM
