This contest is fueled by the following news:
Bill Richardson, the Governor of New Mexico who frequently is mentioned as a Democratic presidential candidate, stated that the Democratic Party must work to reconnect with voters' core values. He believes that the Democracts must so reconnect if they are to regain Congressional seats or even the Presidency. He went on to note that partisan fighting in Washington must give way to policy proposals that really connect with voters -- including health care and education. He made these remarks during a speech at the annual meeting of the Associated Press. He also noted that the Democrats cannot simply be negative and attack the President all of the time. He concluded that the Democratic Party must stand for something.
He also took a few jabs at prominent Republicans, including California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Referring to a baseball career cut short by injury, Richardson said he never felt the need to use steroids — not because he didn't want to be a better player, "but because I didn't want to end up being governor of California."
