What New Hampshire Saw

Bill Richardson 2008, Democrats Add comments

From Deputy Campaign Manager Amanda Cooper

I hope you watched the debate last night.

Because New Hampshire voters sure did. And our post debate research shows that Bill Richardson changed a lot of minds just ahead of Tuesday’s primary!

You could see it in the room. I stood at the back so I could watch people’s reactions. And I saw a lot of head nodding whenever the Governor talked about his foreign policy credentials or his executive experience. You can watch highlights here.

And if you missed the debate, you can watch the whole thing again tonight at 7 p.m. EST on CNN. If you saw it, we hope you can see it again, and be sure to tell your friends across the country to tune in. Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post said the Governor was a “winner” last night, he “shone” and definitely “showed his sense of humor and deep resume” we hope you get to see it.

New Hampshire news station WMUR conducted a focus group and when the Governor started talking about his experience you should have seen the results — they went off the charts!

New Hampshire voters saw a candidate who knew a lot more than the rest of the field on the stage with him — a candidate who is ready to lead from day one!

This is a whole new race in New Hampshire!

The field is narrower. The numbers are in flux. And people in New Hampshire are taking a closer look at Bill Richardson. Our field staff are hearing it across the state people are coming over to our side every day.

Help us close the gap in this last critical 48 hours! Your contribution NOW will extend our reach into every corner of New Hampshire before the polls open on Tuesday!

A lot of people don’t remember this but Bill Clinton actually lost Iowa. And he only managed to place second in New Hampshire!

But as people got to know him better, they liked what he had to say. And the rest, as you know, is history.

We have our entire campaign mobilized here in New Hampshire because we know Bill Richardson can do the same thing!

Help us finish strong in New Hampshire so we can set the stage for the rest of the primaries! Please give generously TODAY!
