Right before filing for the New Hampshire primary today, Bill Richardson called on his fellow Democrats to stop the negative campaigning:
"You see how some of the candidates in our own party are starting to get negative," Richardson said. "We're not going to do it. We're going to talk about the issues."
"To all the Democratic candidates, let's stay positive," Richardson said. "Let's get rid of all this negative stuff that I’m seeing."
Which is all very noble, but also just a set-up to ... attack his rivals:
Richardson then singled out Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, and former Sen. John Edwards, D-North Carolina, for their critical remarks of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York.
"I've become very concerned about the negative tone of the campaign," he said. "I think that Senators Obama and Edwards should concentrate on the issues and not on attacking Sen. Clinton."
"The differences on the issues should be highlighted, but personal attacks I believe should not take place," he said.
And who do you think Richardson is talking about in this ad?
