Richardson’s grassroots network preparing for ’08

If activity on the Bill Richardson for President Yahoo! Group is any indication, the New Mexico governor’s presidential campaign is gaining traction.

The group currently has 123 members from across the nation. Though a few blogs promoting a Richardson 2008 run already existed, its members have started additional blogs in several states since he was overwhelmingly re-elected governor last week.

Such blogs now exist in Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Mexico, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington.

The level of activity on the Yahoo! group site has increased in the past several days. There were 20 posts by members on Tuesday and 22 on Monday.

This is a group of people getting ready to work for Richardson’s campaign. If you spend some time on their sites, you can sense their excitement.
