As the early caucuses and primaries quickly approach, voters in the key states are starting to pay closer attention and are ready for change; the change that Richardson has the experience to bring to Washington DC. To help with Governor Richardson's campaign here in Nevada, click here.

On the heels of a Zogby poll showing Governor Richardson as the most favorable candidate on either side of the aisle, University of Virginia Political Science professor and famed political prognosticator Larry Sabato calls Richardson "unbeatable"

What are the two reasons Sabato considers Richardson such a formidable general election candidate?

- Richardson has won in the West and will appeal to the West
- His Hispanic roots help to solidify an increasingly significant voting bloc.

Saboto's comments help highlight the importance of making Governor Richardson our Democratic nominee. With the West becoming the new political battleground, a candidate with Western values could help lead a Western Democratic revolution. What could that mean for Nevada? A Democratic majority in the state senate, a Gibbons veto-proof majority in the Assembly, a Democratic Congressperson from Congressional District 3, and...

A new Zogby poll asked likely voters the question, whom would you NEVER vote for for President? It's not surprising that Governor Richardson was the most acceptable candidate of either party. Only 34% said they would NOT vote for Richardson. That is in stark contrast to the 50% who responded that they would NEVER vote for New York Senator Hillary Clinton. She's joined by Senator Mike Gravel and Congressman Kucinich at the top of the list of candidates unacceptable to the American electorate.

If the leading Democratic candidate can't even get a majority of Americans to vote for her, shouldn't we be looking somewhere else? A 49% victory doesn't give us the strong Democratic mandate we'll need to repair the damage of the Bush administration. We can't afford another razor thin election; we deserve a crushing victory over the GOP.
