Richardson Busy Campaigning In New Hampshire

(AP) – Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Richardson has taken no time off after Iowa. He has a full schedule of campaigning in New Hampshire before that state’s primary.

Richardson was among the candidates who made their presidential pitches to the 3,000 hardy partisans assembled for the New Hampshire Democratic Party’s fundraising dinner last night.

The turnout marked the largest in the dinner’s history.

Richardson has made ending the war in Iraq a central theme of his campaign.

He scolded President Bush for continuing “the drum beat that the surge is working.”

He also repeated his vow to get all troops out of Iraq in one year, arguing that divisions over the war make solutions to other problems impossible.
