Maybe it was someone trying to get enough signatures to qualify for the ballot as an independent?

Well somebody was out there armed with pens and clipboards and yammering at folks about Richardson. I guess it wasn't you.

WIshful thinking or uniformed babble talk Kelson. No member of congress has ever been recalled in the history of the United States and no such provisions exist.

Hey, was there just somebody at the Bixby Knolls Trader Joe's with a petition on Richardson? I was in too big a hurry to find out what the deal was but maybe one of you already knows. Is there a recall petition out there?

Hey randy,
I only enjoy beer, but lets get together and have a few, and talk about the latest default.

Newsweek is set to publish a highly embarrassing report on Sen. John McCain, revealing that the McCains have failed to pay taxes on their beach-front condo in La Jolla, California, for the last four years and are currently in default, The Huffington Post has learned.

Hey Sanchez, I love that you commented but I don't get the logic in much of what you said. Most confusing was the last part, about being a tool for the right wing. I hope you are not one of those people who see right and wrong through partisan eyes. Not paying your bills is not right no matter who doesn't pay them. And this is precisely the kind of story that would have rightly had liberals howling if it were about a conservative. Fact is, despite terrible business judgement that caused lots of other people to suffer, Richardson has chosen to characterize her actions as typical of the kind of problems other Americans are going through. Most other Americans don't have three houses and they can't get away without paying the small businesses that serve them. Instead of being forthright, Richardson is simply getting on the Washington fund-raising carousel. Instead of teaching this freshman congresswoman how to serve honorably in her position, her more experienced colleagues are rationalizing her behavior. How is all of this not a story? How is it a partisan one?

Howard we are in agreement. Small step for blogosphere commentary, big step for peace in our time. Let's try another one: I like to drink beer, single malt scotch and good bourbon--do you? We can do this, I know it, we can find more to agree on! I am filled with hope.

It's bad enough that loyal dems have to "swallow hard" and vote for Richardson - but then to find out that her ambition has clouded her judgment and... well, she doesn't pay her bills. How should and how can we "get over this already?"

Sanchez is wrong about District staff and wrong about Richardson.

i, on the other hand, cant get enough of this story! perhaps sanchez would care to explain why "fair minded reporters" should ignore an ongoing, very local and topical story on richardson in favor of perhaps finding some dirt on another LB politician? what is sanchez's affiliation with richardson? i'll bet there is one.

This story is a bunch of crap. Get over it already. Fair minded reporters would be looking into some of the indiscretions (financial and otherwise) of other local elected. There would be plenty of interesting stuff to write about I am sure.

This publication has stooped to the same level as the PT over the past few months. I call it "me-too" journalism. I was hoping the District Weekly would offer something different, like objective reporting.

DW is proving itself to be the same ole' stale crackers, status quo with an edge. Maybe because your staff is comprised of wannabe PT reporters, and a couple of PT rejects. Have you guys joined the LB Chamber union yet? Stop being a tool for the right wing and stick to the facts.
