Richardson Update Dec. 17-30

Although governor Richardson has not been getting much attention from the other states for the presidential election his own state, New Mexico, decided to give him a boost and say that "without him they would not have as many jobs and there would be less attention focused on them." It is nice to see him have the support of his state. The assassination of Benazir Bhutto made Richardson chastice the Bush administration Pakistan policy. He urged them to stop military aid to the country and further critized Bush's policies. He has been one of the few candidates that refuses to support Musharrah if he wins the election. Richardson still feels the surge in Iowa even though he is not predicted to be in the race between Edwards, Clinton and Obama. He said there is 40% undecided voters in Iowa and they usually make up their mind five days before the election. He has the confidence that his message has been getting through to the people and that he will appear the winner. Richardson is so confident about his supporter base that he filed for the Texas primary along with Mitt Romney. At this time all of the candidates are focusing their time and energy in Iowa and Bill Richardson has the confidence and the support that he will be a winner in the Iowa primary election.
