BILL RICHARDSON, HILLARY CLINTON
Hillary Wins New Mexico
Hillary Clinton gets some much-needed good news. In a ludicrously long and drawn-out news conference, the Democratic Party of New Mexico just announced that she won that state's caucus by a hair.
The caucus was held February 5. The state party finished counting the votes now.
Apparently the perpetually disheveled Governor Bill Richardson is the organized one in that state.
More details on the delay here. I particularly like this line: "Party Chairman Brian Colón acknowledges voter education was minimal."
UPDATE: From Team Hillary:
Hillary Clinton issued the following statement after winning New Mexico, including 27 of New Mexico’s 33 counties, and 14 of the state’s 26 delegates:
“I am so proud to have earned the support of New Mexicans from across the state.
From strengthening the economy to providing health care for every American to jumpstarting a clean energy future, New Mexicans want real solutions to our nation’s challenges.
As president, I will continue to stand up for New Mexico and will hit the ground running on day one to bring about real change.”
