Looks like Big Bill has finally made an endorsement:
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, the nation’s only Hispanic governor, is endorsing Sen. Barack Obama for president, calling him a “once-in-a-lifetime leader” who can unite the nation and restore America’s international leadership.
Link via Chris Bowers, who, like me, wonders if Richardson can sway any of New Mexico’s [...]

I’ve been far too consumed by the New Hampshire results (seriously, wow) that I never had time to get a blog written about the state Senate seat opened by the untimely death of Ben Altamirano. Anyhoo, it looks like, after getting the nod from both Sierra and Grant counties, Howie Morales might be the newest [...]

The latest Des Moines Register poll indicates Bill Richardson is holding on to his third-place spot in Iowa at the moment, but Mike Lux over at Open Left thinks Biden is the man to watch:
Biden has more momentum than Richardson or Dodd going into the final month, and is picking up traction in some [...]

Richardson continues his Iowa onslaught with a new ad touting his education record in New Mexico, according to The Hill’s blog:
Richardson promises he will get rid of No Child Left Behind, create a minimum wage for teachers, make pre-k and kindergarten available to all children and create math and science academies throughout the United States.

The [...]

According to Shailagh Murray over at the Washington Post’s “The Trail” blog, Bill Richardson has been making the rounds in Iowa lately:
New Mexico Bill Richardson has barnstormed 95 of Iowa’s 99 counties, wooing rural Democrats with his pro-gun record and urban caucus goers with his aggressive Iraq withdrawal plan. He has fielded questions on every [...]

Because there really isn’t anything left to say:
Oh boy. Bill Richardson’s campaign now has a new motif for their campaign literature in Iowa, distributing information about him in the format of baseball cards, complete with him at mound and ready to pitch.
The back of the card lists “positions played” — congressman, ambassador, secretary of energy, [...]

Since Karen asked, I guess I should comment a bit more thoroughly on what Pete Domenici’s retirement means for the 2008 Senate race in New Mexico. Overheard in Arlington last night:
I think Democrats have a good chance to pick up some seats everywhere, not just in New Mexico.
I think that sums up the situation pretty [...]

I’ve got to get going, but don’t think I haven’t been reading about Domenici’s impending retirement. I’ll have more thoughts later. As usual, I’ll refer you to Heath’s place for the latest throughout the day. Of course, there’s one point he makes:
Richardson insists he isn’t interested in the Senate race, and Democrats have the increased [...]

A lot of people have asked me about my thoughts on Bill Richardson lately. Since I spent more than three years reporting on the governor in New Mexico1, people in the Washington D.C. area want to get the “real” story on Big Bill.
Invariably, I tell them that Richardson is the ultimate politician: there’s no position [...]

I don’t even know what to say about Gov. Bill Richardson anymore:
As I listened, I wondered why he has not been taken more seriously as a candidate–a smart, accomplished governor of Latino heritage. Then I found out.
At the end of his speech–after noting all the ways he would defend the Constitution and redress global warming–he [...]

Gov. Bill Richardson has an op-ed in the WaPo this morning, and, in it, he reinforces his recent attacks on other Democratic candidates who won’t call for a complete withdrawal form Iraq:
Our troops have done everything they were asked to do with courage and professionalism, but they cannot win someone else’s civil war. So long [...]

Well, once again, Mario Burgos and I agree on something:
It hasn’t yet been made public, but I believe that Governor Bill Richardson may be working on setting a new record for the Guinness Book of World Records. Richardson has already been widely recognized for his record breaking handshaking. Now, he diligently working on setting the [...]
