I guess it’s time for me to weigh in fully on this one. I get the conservative argument on the welfare state: dependency is bad for the poor long term, and conservatives hope to free up capital so that businesses will expand and people will be hired, and there won’t be so many poor people. [...]
I’m thinking of starting a rumor that Bill Richardson stepped aside to make room for Raúl Grijalva in the cabinet. Who’s with me?

I consider myself a fan of Bill Richardson, which is why I was a bit preturbed that the only job that Barack Obama could find for him is Secretary of Commerce. I mean why not a more prominent position like Secretary of State? Sounds like a dead end rather than a chance for something big later. [...]
I’ve been told not to read too much into the fact that Ed Pastor was not among the Bill Richardson supporters who are now signed on with Barack Obama. Apparently, he is out of the country and could not be contacted. One politico I talked to told me that he thinks the others who didn’t [...]

Last week, Bill Richardson came to Phoenix for some small events. At the time, it was announced that Ed Pastor would be Richardson’s honorary campaign chairman in Arizona. With Pastor would probably come a whole raft of elected officials in the Phoenix area. I’m wondering if this also means that the “Eckstrom machine” will sign on too. [...]
