This sounds like the pure blind dumb luck that used to have the likely top 3 finishers in a figure skating final somehow always end up skating last.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/30/44849.aspx#45106Tue, 30 Jan 2007 22:06:39 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:45106Steve Turner Cedar Falls IowaLynette.

Merle Stanley, Westchester, NYOne has to admit.....The Democrats have an impressive array of candidates for 2008. The only "wonder" at this point, is which one of them will become the 44th President of The United States.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/30/44849.aspx#46367Wed, 31 Jan 2007 18:31:21 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:46367Luvadog in VTIf you haven't read up on Bill Richardson - do so. He actually QUALIFIES to be POTUS. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/30/44849.aspx#46434Wed, 31 Jan 2007 19:09:49 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:46434Pete Caloger Bushkill, PA 18324Luvadog, I've been watching and learning about Richardson for a few months now. You are right, he is very qualified, and I hope his candidacy gains traction. http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/30/44849.aspx#47174Thu, 01 Feb 2007 09:11:34 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:47174Chris, Christiansburg, VAObama is speaking at a rally at 1130 on friday at George Mason, so i assume he will leave right after he finishes. Should be a busy day for him.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/30/44849.aspx#47214Thu, 01 Feb 2007 13:12:41 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:47214Bob, TrentonIn fairness the qualifications aren't that impressive. So he's over 35 and was born in the US, wow! Not that I don't like Richardson, he's my favorite horse in the race. I just want to make sure that no one is under the delusion that "qualification" means anything.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/01/30/44849.aspx#51065Wed, 07 Feb 2007 01:40:16 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:51065Matt Wilson, Arlington, VAFolks, We need to focus on this issues that will make America a better place to live and not who can make the biggest splash with their war chest or fresh face. While Gravel might be a long shot at best, I think his National Initiative concept has some great points and will help the people "that's us" to have some control over Washington.
