Who profits from planting the "Richardson quits!" rumor?

1. Richardson

Free Publicity?

[MethuenProgressive]

5. He's been sending out "I'm still in, please donate" emails - so he'd *lose* $

And he needs $ to compete with the MSM darlings.

[eileen_d]

2. LOL

sorry but lol

[TwilightZone]

3. It was a rumor? Damn, news flies quickly around here.

I can tell I've been in a few of your threads, MP. When I saw the "news", you were the first one I thought of. :)

[DaLittle Kitty]

4. RICHARDSON IS..... OUTA THERE! Heard it on MSNBC . Now we'll have some decent debates!

Hillary's Blocking Back has now retired. NOW THE REAL RACE BEGINS! :bounce:

[TwilightZone]

6. I think the campaign denied it.

[MethuenProgressive]

7. "Heard it on MSNBC" Well, that makes the rumor true then, doesn't it?

:eyes:

[Nailzberg]

8. Has to be himself. When was the last time he was the cover story on CNN.com?

:shrug:

[MethuenProgressive]

9. At last!

A DU poll that Richardson wins! :rofl:
Honestly though, it's either Edwards or Obama's rumor.

[MonkeyFunk]

11. I doubt it

the initial reports credited two people close to the Richardson campaign.

Perhaps the sources were speaking out of school, maybe they were just wrong, maybe Richardson changed his mind.

10. AP Radio news is running the story as well

However, despite the fact that "liberal" networks run their hourly newscasts, they are totally whorish in their news coverage, so the fact that they are running the story doesn't mean it's true.

[MethuenProgressive]

13. "the fact that they are running the story doesn't mean it's true"

Exactly.

[Muttocracy]

12. news website getting more hits for ads? n/t

[Honeycombe8]

14. Richardson and Kucinich, altho I don't think D.K. would do that. nt

[MethuenProgressive]

16. Nah, not Kucinich. Unless...

...he's made another deal with BO.

[MethuenProgressive]

15. Richardson website overwhelmed

The Slowskys would love his site right now...

[Yael]

20. MP -- too many threads and too much speculation. What is the story -- in or out?

Edit for spelling

[MethuenProgressive]

24. Dunno, honestly.

It would be counter to what he's been saying up to now.

[Yael]

25. Thanks. Will wait until we hear from his camp before I open another thread about it.

[Didereaux]

17. here's WaPo link

[MethuenProgressive]

18. Reporting a rumor doesn't make it true,

[Didereaux]

22. well you call the sonofabitch and find out from him! otherwise us lower calsses have to rely on..

the media. Also it is no real significance one way or the other.

[Yael]

27. I beg to differ, but there is significance to this

one less message getting out there...

[NoPasaran]

19. KO now quotes Chuck Todd citing "two campaign sources"

Richardson is outta here tomorrow.

The Governor ran a scrappy race, but if you're about to send him a check, you might want to wait 24 hours and see what really happens.

[Yael]

26. Sorry to hear that. :(

[Renew Deal]

28. Richardson slept through the entire campaign.

It's no loss.

[LandOLincoln]

21. It's not a rumor; it's now been confirmed.

So you know what you can do with your BS.

[wyldwolf]

23. I suspected last night when I found out one his staffers I know had come home.
