Bill Richardson has a new television commercial for his run to be reelected governor of New Mexico. Something a little lot different.
NewMexiKen thinks politicians should be required to run on their own record or positions. And they shouldn’t be permitted to run ads discussing their opponents, freedom of speech notwithstanding. Cut out the negativity I say.
Richardson is certainly running on his own record here. But has he trivialized the issues?
I think it’s fun, it’s positive and it doesn’t trivialize the issues any more than any other 30 second ad. What do you think?

Jeez, haven’t they heard of YouTube? I had to watch it twice to see it without a bunch of breaks.
I personally don’t find the law and order statistics very convincing, but I think the commercial works as an incumbent ad. Very New Mexico (or so I would think). Is that the tourist train that runs from Santa Fe to Lamy?
