The 3Q Manifesto
The Three Q Blog, originally dubbed Quabbin Qountry Queries, is named in honor of the Quabbin Reservoir in central Massachusetts. The general Quabbin region was originally the home base for the author, and a place whose trails and massive aquatic presence served as a source of inspiration for the musings herein. We hope to write with the same rebellious spirit as the Quabbin's most famous citizen, Daniel Shays, after whom the stretch of US Hwy 202 that runs along the Quabbin's shore is named.
A rags-to-riches-to-rags military hero from the Revolutionary War, Shays later led a shoddy force of local farmers based out of a local watering hole called Conkey's Tavern against the Massachusetts militia in protest of the state's poll tax. Money was a barrier to entry into politics then, just as it remains today.
They called themselves "The Regulators" and they stood up for Democracy. We call ourselves "The Bloggers" and we must do the same kind of fighting with our words, if not our muskets.
For More Information on the Quabbin Reservoir and Daniel Shays, here are some links.

I wanna see some complete transparency on this one! Can we get a breakdown of points per category?
Am I being audited? More like Hottteted.
I couldn't fit it on the blog in an appropriate fashion. E-mail may have to suffice for anyone interested in full results. Send queries to BryanThuggin@gmail.com
Well done and worth the wait. I couldn't agree more on how refreshing it is that Richardson is talking about the environment, mental health, and diplomacy. I am not saying I agree (Richardson's performance on Meet the Press scarred me) but I find your analysis satisfying for both its intellect and moral character.
As an aside, I'm interest in how Obama rated out (51 points to put him in a tie for second is pretty good considering he is an Establishment candidate who is probably vetting his words more than anyone but HRC).
And I'm interested in how Richardson graded on baggage and pandering. His baggage stems from, among other things, the fact that the Chinese stole nuke secrets while he was Energy Sec and the pandering stems from his pandering to Hillary at the debates.
Thanks for the kind words.
I'm sure his pander and baggage ratings are lower than you expect. He certainly scored some major pander points along the way (IA caucus God remarks, for instance) but scores were dulled by asking people to sacrifice EVERY time he stopped, and bringing up novel ideas and topics.
As for the baggage stuff, transparency helps to heal that, coupled with the fact that he has low name recognition. People know and hate Clinton and Edwards from national tickets, but not so much some of the other candidates.
exceptionally well researched and considerate endorsement, my friend. I bumped into Richardson this morning in Des Moines getting out of the elevator and the man looks tired, but he's certainly strong in the areas you mention
