1. a few days too late for some
I like the guy, but he never really had much of a chance.

One day though, his grandkids will be able to read about grandpa on wikipedia or in their government class..

7. why was he even running?
the one and only oral examination of candidates i watched and listened to was the abc one conducted by charles gibson. richardson seemed to be, compared to the other candidates aspiring to the title of president of the united states, fish out of water.

8. I say Hillary offered him something
After she saw the endorsements Obama got, she is looking for the Latino vote that he will throw to her.

19. Did you ever have the feeling that you wanted to go
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 08:27 PM by Sydnie
But still had the feeling that you wanted to stay.
You knew it was right, wasn't wrong.
Still you knew you wouldn't be very long.

It's tough to have the feeling that you wanted to go,
Still have the feeling that you wanted to stay.
Start to go.
Change your mind.
Start to go again but change your mind again.
It's tough to have the feeling that you wanted to go,
Still have the feeling that you wanted to stay.
Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, si, do.
I go.
I'll stay.
.......
I'll go.
I'll stay.
I'm goin', I'm--, I'm stayin', but--

Ha cha cha cha
