The Daily Background

Evidently Bill Richardson, or at least somebody from his campaign is driving a Hummer around New Hampshire as part of the campaign’s motorcade. Ben Smith has a photo that somebody snapped as it left an event presumably today. I’m pretty disgusted… there were already some questions about Richardson’s connections to the oil industry, and his recently-but-abruptly-divested investments in major oil corporations (which he said was because there was nothing wrong with “wanting to make a little money”), but this pretty much seals the deal for me. He may have a great resume and great foreign policy experience– good, let him be a Secretary of State or re-appoint him as Amb. to the UN or something, but let’s not have another guy sympathetic to Big Oil in the White House.

Update: Richardson’s folks have contacted me about this, so please see this important update.
