Dark Horse Desperado
Without a snowball's chance in Hell of winning even his party's nomination, Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico is at least making political ads that don't come from the same cookie-cutter mold of flag, family, and rolled up shirtsleeves that everyone else uses. It's nice to see humor in this genre, even if it could be criticized as "not very Presidential." Richardson says he understands he's a long shot and must therefore do things a little differently in order to get attention. Sounds like he even borrowed the Priceline Negotiator stinger as his unorthodox logo pops up at spot's end. (two 30s back to back.)

I thought it was a nice change. I'm not really sure the “not too presidential” label is valid when you had Clinton blowing a sax during his run or any other candiate who just ‘happened’ to show up on SNL.
Sure beats Hillary and her Robby the Robot montone: “PEOPLE OF AMERICA. YOU WILL VOTE FOR ME.”

Very nice, I thought. He gives the party hope, I think.

Then I just heard him backpeddle on Meet The Press. Oops.
(You can watch the entire show on MSNBC here.)
