Richardson Scores With Democratic Bloggers


Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson gained the support of three prominent Democratic bloggers and activists in Oklahoma today.

Calvin Rees, Tim Reese and Jane Luttrell of DemoOkie.com lined up behind Richardson Friday.

“Richardson is right for Oklahoma,” said Calvin Rees, co-owner of the blog site, routinely visited by hundreds of party activists across the state. “Richardson’s progressive ideas and experience in the United Nations and as Governor of New Mexico have prepared him for the job,” Rees said.

Tim Reese said, “Richardson should be very popular in Oklahoma. His experience as Secretary of Energy gives him insight into stimulating domestic production of oil and gas which makes us less dependent on foreign oil.”

Jane Luttrell said it was easy to give her support to Richardson. “I like Bill’s ideas and his stance on the issues. I plan on working very hard for him this upcoming presidential cycle.”

Both Rees and Reese were General Wesley Clark delegates to the Democratic National Convention in 2004. They indicated while they still like Clark, they believe Richardson would make the best candidate in 2008.

Richardson served as Energy Secretary and U.N. Ambassador during the Clinton Administration and is presently Governor of New Mexico. For more information on Richardson's campaign visit http://www.richardsonforpresident.com/ .
