Denish, Richardson faking it, suggests Monahan

Joe Monahan, link, became the second blogger, link, as far as I know, and the first of the heavy hitter in the blogosphere to suppose that the fight between Lt Gov Diane Denish and Governor Bill Richardson might have more to do with helping Denish win in November than with she having picked a real fight over anything.

Denish has a PR problem called "Big Bill". She is going to have to come up with something more than a few staged fights with him to be shed of their inextricably linked legacies.





Photographs of Denish and Richardson together are rare.

Rarer still are photographs of the envelope actually being passed and, the hand shaken.

These, with Denish close by, were taken by Mark Bralley who wrote the accompanying piece, link.
