Richardson didn’t come across as anyone’s “second” last night. He went after everyone equally — apparently he hasn’t settled yet on who will be the nominee and who he has to suck up to in hopes of the vice-presidential nod. And for someone who is so high on diplomacy, he was decidedly un-diplomatic when he came on stage for the “shake hands with real Republicans” moment. Butter would not have melted in his hand when he extended it (ever so briefly) to the first Republican he met. Very cold. No mention of diplomacy either when he explained his “pull out immediately” process — just abandon Iraq after our extensive sacrifice. Try to negotiate better terms? No way, man — bug out now! F
