On Richardson/responding to Eric [Liz Mair]

I suspect Richardson did do himself significant damage last night with the "choice" comment.  And I think that's too bad.  This is a guy who even back in the 1990's when, from what I can recall, most Democrats as well as Republicans were sticking by Don't Ask Don't Tell, and he didn't.  The fact that he was on the right side of that one, from the gay community's perspective, way back then (unlike Hillary and her hubby, who a lot of people in the gay community seem to like, which baffles me) tells me something about what he really thinks.  So does his record of supporting civil unions as Governor.

Perhaps I'm just feeling sorry for Bill at the moment...  I will admit that he is by far the most palatable Democrat from my perspective in the entire race.  By far.
