The big political news of the past week was Bill Richardson moving into third place in New Hampshire. While most who are aware of him realize that Richardson is far more qualified than the initial three in the top tier, many ignored him after he had mediocre showings in the debates and on Meet the Press.
Richardson is gaining in support on a grass roots level in situations where he has more than a brief sound bite to present his positions. The video above of Richardson campaigning in New Hampshire makes it clear why he’s moved into third, and why it is too early to write off his candidacy.
