  Well Yes, That's One Way of Putting It

  Bill Richardson, who got two percent of the delegates in Iowa, just sent out this laughable spin:  

  "We made it to the final four," Richardson said. "My staff and volunteers worked their hearts out to get us here. Now we are going to take the fight to New Hampshire."

  Richardson received 7 % of the vote in entrance polls. After watching the results at a rally in Des Moines, he boarded a plane for New Hampshire.

  Sure, he made it into the final four -- in a three way race. And who cites entrance polls once the exit polls -- i.e., the election results -- are already available?
