September 2005?
That's quite a bit "before he announced his campaign." That was 18 months ago ... not exactly relevant to their positions today.
More importantly, that is clearly a loyal guy giving cover to another prominent Democrat. "I could have seen a senator taking the vote that he or she did" is hardly a ringing endorsement. The only explicit endorsement he gives is that she is calling for an exit strategy.
But, of more relevance, Richardson has been calling for withdrawal for a while now, wants all troops out this calendar year, and is calling for a repeal of the original authorization. Clinton is essentially looking to cap the current troop number and says she'll remove troops as President. Their policies are not the same at all.
Worse still, when asked about the war in South Carolina yesterday, she said:
To underscore a point, some people may be running who tell you we don't face a real threat from terrorism," she said. "I'm not one of them. We have serious enemies who want to do us serious harm
That's the worst thing I've seen any Democrat say since Lieberman got the boot from the party, I think. I was actually one of the rare people who didn't have strong feelings about Clinton, but statements like that are making me pretty negative toward her (note: relative to other Democrats ... I'd still enthusiastically vote for her over McCain/Giuliani/etc)
