God Talks to Richardson About Politics

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

Just when you think you’ve heard everything:

Sioux City, Ia. – God’s will is for Iowa to have the first-in-the-nation caucus, Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson told a crowd here Monday.

“Iowa, for good reason, for constitutional reasons, for reasons related to the Lord, should be the first caucus and primary,” Richardson, New Mexico’s governor, said at the Northwest Iowa Labor Council Picnic. “And I want you to know who was the first candidate to sign a pledge not to campaign anywhere if they got ahead of Iowa. It was Bill Richardson.”

Several people in the crowd snickered after Richardson made the comment.

This has got to be a new low in pandering to an audience. To their credit, the people in Iowa seemed to see this for what it was and reacted accordingly. Next thing you know, Richardson will tell everybody that if he isn’t elected President that God will call him home.
