Candidate of the Presidential Bid

In a race, not only it is important to knowing to gain a victory or to appropriately lose, but also sometimes, it is more important to have enough knowledge that how to make a strategic withdrawal.

If you want to know what does ‘politician’ mean, you should ask Bill Richardson. He knows the broader definition of ‘politician’ than many other people.

Bill Richardson was a congressman, a diplomat, an ambassador, secretary of the department of energy and currently, he is the governor of New Mexico where the highest percentage of Hispanic Americans and the second highest percentage of Native Americans are living.

Here are excerpts from his withdrawal - ‘Thank You’ speech:

“Running for president brings out the best in everyone who graces the stage, and I have learned much from the other candidates running. They have all brought great talents and abilities to the campaign.”

“And all I ask of the candidates is that they do not resort to personal attacks to win the nomination. Our country and our party deserve better than that. I have said from the beginning that we must avoid attacking each other and I continue to believe that to this day.”

“I am an optimist. I am positive about this country and our ability to tackle the great challenges ahead. The last year, I have learned so much, but I have learned, most of all, that the people of this country are a sincere and caring people. They are also thoughtful and deadly serious about the choice before them as they consider these candidates. So, it is with an optimistic spirit that I withdraw my candidacy for the Presidency today. I believe in the American people and their wisdom to make the right choice in the weeks and months ahead.”
“Thank you. God Bless you and God bless America.”

He has accomplished at the forth place in New Hampshire’s primary vote. If he won the election, he could be the first Hispanic American president in the United States but he comfortably and dignifiedly set up his withdrawal from the campaign. Why did he do it?

There are four main characteristics in military - defensive, offensive, marching and withdrawal. Many military strategists accept that ‘successful withdrawal’ is the most artful, skillful and ingenious. Americans have learned about it enough from Vietnam and Iraq.

If I say, not only he knew when it is the most appropriate time to enter into the ring and when it is the most suitable time to quit, but he also demonstrated that how to play the high level games in certain phenomenon. He knows the energy, speed, momentum, acceleration and inertia of this most powerful race in the country.

He is clever. He is a real politician. He beautifully accomplished the hardest part by strategically.
He is Candidate of the Presidential Bid 2008!
