Link: Union Leader - Richardson's loyalty: Sweet on NH, but still seeing Nevada - Tuesday, Aug. 8, 2006.
NEW MEXICO Gov. Bill Richardson wowed the crowds in New Hampshire last week by pledging his undying devotion to our first-in-the-nation primary. "I believe New Hampshire has had a special place in Presidential politics," he said. Evidently it is not special enough for him to forego campaigning in Nevada, which soon will have its 2008 Democratic caucus moved to the week before the New Hampshire primary. Richardson did what most candidates do when they come here. He praised the primary and said how great and important New Hampshire's tradition is. That's awfully sweet of him. What he failed to do was pledge to campaign in New Hampshire instead of Nevada.
