Edwards\u2019 national political director David Medina sent an e-mail to supporters in New Mexico<\/st1:state><\/st1:place> on Wednesday evening inviting them to a conference call on Dec. 12 to begin organizing. Those who are interested in participating can RSVP by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring this call, we will talk about our \u2018Road Trip to One America\u2019 strategy, which is helping to match volunteers with important key early states, and we\u2019ll also discuss our plan for victory in the New Mexico<\/st1:state> caucuses on February 5,\u201d Medina<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> wrote.<\/p>\n

Edwards is the first of the major Democratic presidential candidates \u2013 including Gov. Bill Richardson<\/a> \u2013 to inform supporters via e-mail that he is beginning to organize for the New Mexico Caucus. As reported today by the Albuquerque Journal<\/a>, New Mexico\u2019s presidential caucus isn\u2019t getting the same attention during this election cycle that it received in 2004 because a number of other states have caught on to the idea of moving up their caucus and primary dates to have more influence in the nominating process.<\/p>\n

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

Richardson<\/st1:city> is focusing all his attention on Iowa<\/st1:state> and New Hampshire<\/st1:state> and, to a lesser extend, Nevada<\/st1:place><\/st1:state>.<\/p>\n

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

New Mexico<\/st1:state><\/st1:place>\u2019s Republicans aren\u2019t expected to have much say at all in their party\u2019s presidential nominating process. Unlike the state\u2019s Democrats, the GOP opted against moving up its caucus, so the state\u2019s Republicans won\u2019t vote for their presidential nominee until June.<\/p>\n

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

Republicans in about half the nation\u2019s states are voting for their nominee on or before Feb. 5, so the nomination will likely be finalized on that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
