Bill Richardson has centered his run for the White House on his call for an immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

A carefully footnoted series of paragraphs follows: "Clinton, Edwards, and Obama have said they would leave tens of thousands of troops in Iraq." "What's more," it continues, "each has 'refused to promise to bring all American troops home from Iraq by January 2013.'"
Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota endorsed Barack Obama today.
