    Richardson

    YOu all might be wondering why Richardson is still in the race, but let me point out to you that Iowa is Obama territory, since he's from Illinois, and Huckabee territory (Arkansas). New Hampshire is Romney territory and, to some extent, Clinton territory, since she presents herself as the Senator from New York. Neither of these states is Richardson territory, since he is half Mexican and a westerner. When we get to Nevada and California, we can see what Richardson has to offer.
