Richardson In Nevada

Bill Richardson made a trip to Nevada Saturday, on his first campaign stop for the Democratic nomination.

Richardson met with Democrats in Reno and Milden, where he said that although he is an outsider, he will outwork the other candidates. He said that he believes he is the candidate with the most foreign policy experience, as former US representative to the United Nations.

Nevada is crucial as it comes just after the Iowa primary next January.

This wont be Richardson's last visit to Nevada - he has pledged to be back again and will campaign in all 17 counties. He will be returning on February 21 for a debate in Carson City and a health care forum on March 24 in Las Vegas.

Richardson spoke at a Democrat "Turn Nevada Blue" dinner on Saturday night, with other potential candidate Wes Clark.
