Richardson has tried to ride above the fray so far, and has taken his speaking opportunities to list the problems that he thinks are important, such as the ever-so-hardhitting issue of "bringing the country together."
Obama says that the surge has just brought us full circle.
They've been working on their listening faces. Cock your head to the side, furrow your brow sincerely, squint and nod decisively, and you too can be a presidential candidate.
