Richardson takes to the air
Friday, April 20th, 2007 9:57 amNew Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson brought his presidential campaign to Iowa yesterday with a visit to Denison. Today, comes the news that he’s going to make some of our television stations a little richer.
The Democrat is going to air new television ads across the state beginning Monday. (Note: The Washington Post’s The Fix column first reported this yesterday).
Tom Reynolds, Richardson’s Iowa spokesman, says the ads will open the door to more face-to-face campaigning. “What these ads underscore is the governor is taking the campaign in Iowa seriously,” Reynolds said today.
Richardson is a bit behind the others. Most of the other Democratic candidates have made multiple trips to Iowa, and the top tier have already spread their organizational wings.
Reynolds says Richardson is ramping up, too, and the ads — one is a biographical piece, while the other outlines his foreign policy experience and belief that U.S. troops ought to be out of Iraq by the end of the year – are just the beginning of an extensive effort here.
The campaign won’t say how long the ads will run, or how much they’re spending.

If you are considering this man, take time to talk with normal people in New Mexico. This man does alot of really dumb stuff. Glad I didn’t vote for him here.
