Richardson’s White House Bid Not Yet a Hit Among Fellow Hispanics

Tagged: , , , ,

“New Mexico Democrat Bill Richardson’s background as a former House member, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Energy secretary and now two-term governor of his home state has long pegged him as one of the nation’s most prominent Hispanic politicians. Now he is running for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination and is widely viewed as the most serious Hispanic candidate ever for that office.

Yet a survey of Hispanic voters released earlier this week found that Richardson, whose mother is of Mexican heritage, has not yet made a major connection with this growing and increasingly potent political constituency. Richardson trails well behind the overall Democratic presidential front-runner, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in support among Hispanic voters as well.”
