Cato Loves Bill

The Cato Institute recently named Bill Richardson the best Democratic governor and he is tied for 6th overall in the fiscal policy report card. This is an excellent reason why Richardson cannot be the Democratic candidate in 2008. He is worse on taxes, social spending, and other key progressive issues than 16 Republican governors. This includes Jeb Bush. In other words, we would be getting a more progressive politician when it comes to these issues in Jeb Freaking Bush than in Bill Richardson. All you ever hear out of Richardson is tax cuts, tax cuts, tax cuts. All we need to say in 2008 is someone else, someone else, someone else.
