Bill Richardson is in!

Today, democrat Bill Richardson officially announced his entrance into the Presidential race and publically appealed to Hispanics. His intention was to target the "fastest growing voting block" in the country and stated that he wasn't doing it on purpose, but to show that he understands some of the gameplay mechanics. He announced his candidacy in both English and Spanish stating that he is not exclusively a Hispanic, but as an American Governor representing the state of New Mexico. The reason why he is reaching out to Hispanics is because they don't even know who he is. Which is true because powerhouses like Clinton, Obama, and Edwards dominate the polls and ratings. The third party democrats only have about 2% of the total ratings and get way more facetime in every aspect of media. Everywhere you turn its a commercial about Obama, Clinton, or Edwards on TV, the Internet, or radio. By reaching out to the Hispanic community, Richardson would have a voter base. He openly debates on the immigration issues in Congress and states that those who are the head of the household raising money for their families in another country should be sent back, but let back in with the rights for a citizenship for re-entry.
