Richardson heading back to New Mexico

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer is reporting that Gov. Bill Richardson is headed back to New Mexico to reassess his campaign after a disappointing showing in New Hampshire.

Richardson campaign spokeswoman Katie Roberts said the governor is heading back to New Mexico, but the reasons are “to take care of some official business” and prepare for the legislative session that begins a week from today.

A good source told me Richardson will take care of official business but will also assess his campaign while he’s in New Mexico. Richardson has a scheduled meeting on Wednesday with a candidate for the state Senate seat that’s vacant because of the death of Ben Altamirano.
