Dear Carson City Democrats,
We just flew into Des Moines from New Hampshire, and right now we're on our way to meet up with some Iowa voters. As I write this, we're pulling over to gas up the campaign van.
While I have a second, I wanted to share something with you: No matter what the media may -- or may not -- be reporting, the Governor is still very much in this race.
Let me tell you what the news media is NOT reporting:
At Keene High School in New Hampshire, people were so eager to see Bill Richardson they waited outside in the frigid NH temperatures for over 30 minutes to get into a standing room-only crowd!
And after he held a "Presidential Job Interview" at Concord's largest private employer, our staff literally had to drag the Governor out because the crowd didn't want him to leave!
Now let me share one more piece of news: A brand new poll out of New Hampshire says that not only are HALF of all Democratic voters undecided -- a THIRD of those who've picked their candidate could change their mind.
As the Nevada Caucus approaches, New Mexico's First Lady reminds Nevada voters that the race is still in their hands.

In the latest DMUR-CNN poll, Governor Richardson's support has doubled in the critical early state of New Hampshire.
The poll can be found here. The trends of the major candidates' support (compared with the same group's September poll):
Richardson: + 6
Obama: + 3
Edwards: + 2
Clinton: - 5
The November numbers show a similar trend in Iowa. The difference between polling late October and mid/late November show the following trends:
Obama: + 8
Edwards: + 7
Richardson: + 4
Clinton: - 6
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.
