| Description | New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D) wants to "increase the weight of Western states with fast-growing Hispanic populations in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary," according to The Hill. Such a move would "give him a major advantage over other candidates vying to be the alternative" to Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) three years from now.
Importantly, Richardson "has a strong ally on the Democrats’ Presidential Nomination and Scheduling Commission, Michael Stratton, who has announced a campaign to create an early eight-state Western primary in 2008 that would include Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming." |
