Closing the Gap

MNMon's sister in Iowa reports what I heard yesterday. Here's the lead:

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson might be able to claim entry into the top-tier of Democratic presidential candidates if the results of internal campaign poll on Iowa caucus support are confirmed by outside pollsters.

The Likeliest (voters who attended the 2004 caucuses, voted in the 2006 primary, and say they are definite to attend next year's caucus) Caucus goers breakdown like this:

31% John Edwards
23% Hillary Clinton
18% Bill Richardson
16% Barack Obama
3% Joe Biden
2% Dennis Kucinich
0% Chris Dodd
1% Other
8% Don't Know/NA

If you haven't yet, be sure to read my visit with the Governor.
