Governor Richardson Pushing For Early Western Primary

Gov. Bill Richardson is planning an aggressive push to persuade Western mountain states to have a presidential primary on a single day early in the nominating process in 2008. Some might say it is an attempt to boost his chances for nomination in 2008, but I believe it is an honest effort to balance out the nomination process so that the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire primary don't all but decide the nomination up front. Fact is the nominating process did not work for the Democratic party last time as all but one candidate was essentially left standing after the two early contests.
