Actually, spacemonkey, Richardson has always said he is a Red Sox fan. He went to high school in Concord, Mass, and graduated from Tufts University.

So perhaps his stance comes from the fact that he grew up wanting to be Mickey Mantle (as nearly all boys of his era did), but became a Red Sox fan when he went to high school in the middle of Red Sox land.

Of course, the fact that this is being treated like a campaign breaker just shows the idiocy of some political analysts.

He is just getting road-weary

What he MEANT to say is "I've always, always, been a fan of.... what's the popular team around here?.... and where is here anyway? Anyway always been a fan and I love it here in...this...town."

The records of Hillary Clinton, (and for that matter, Bill Clinton ) Of Barrack Obama and John Edwards, all speak to the point that Democrats seldom worry about such gaffes, unless there is some other point of dislike involved, at which point such gaffes become a lever to pry them out of political power.

Points of dislike such as being a Republican, supporting the war in Iraq, (See also, Joe Lieberman) and so on. Richardson certainly has his work cut out for him, But such gaffes are not show stoppers.
