\"\"<\/a>It has been difficult to keep track of Gov. Bill Richardson\u2019s<\/a> travels around the nation as he campaigns for president. <\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

At least some of that appears to be intentional ducking, but the campaign chalks some of it up to e-mail glitches.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>, in response to a direct question from a reporter about his schedule for the week, failed to mention last Tuesday that he was leaving town that night for a campaign event. Anger over that \u2013 Richardson<\/st1:city> called lawmakers back to Santa Fe<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> for a special session as he was leaving the state \u2013 was a key factor in the Senate\u2019s decision to revolt and adjourn sine die.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Though word that he was leaving the state leaked out Tuesday, the campaign didn\u2019t officially release last week\u2019s travel schedule until Wednesday, even though Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> had already left the state.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

This week\u2019s schedule was released today, even though Richardson<\/st1:city> spent Sunday evening and Monday in New York City<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>. Among the events we had to find out about through other means is a scheduled appearance on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the kicker: The schedule was posted on the campaign\u2019s Web site. I haven\u2019t received the last two schedules by e-mail, though I was receiving news releases from the campaign before that. I know of at least one other reporter who has had similar problems. The campaign tells me it may be due to \u201cintermittent e-mail difficulties.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not doubting that. The campaign is a fairly small operation, after all. I\u2019m just pointing out what\u2019s added up to a campaign that has been hard for the New Mexico<\/st1:place><\/st1:state> media to track. This week is especially important because Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> is trying to raise $500,000 before Saturday\u2019s first-quarter reporting deadline. So far he\u2019s up to $126,615, according to his Web site.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s Richardson<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>\u2019s schedule for part of this week, some of it already passed.<\/p>\n
