The statement, "Iowa, for good reason, for constitutional reasons, for reasons related to the Lord, should be the first caucus and primary.", was a joke and shouldn't be treated so seriously.
- I quote: "Although Richardson has no historic connection to the Latino population of the U.S. (his mother was from Mexico),...)" Why did Richardson have no "historic connection" to his mother? I thought we all have historic connections to our mothers.
