A post from Steve Sacks:
My wife Felice and I live in Sun City Anthem, in Henderson, NV. We have been supporting Gov. Richardson since early this year, when we became aware of his amazing track record in both domestic and international affairs. We are lifelong democrats, and believe the Gov. is the most experienced democrat in the field, by far.
We had volunteered our home for a "routine" Saturday house party to support the campaign, expecting a campaign aide to show a video clip of Governor Richardson and explain the caucus process to 20-30 of our neighbors. Three days before the December 8th event, however, the Governor announced that he and his wife Barbara would be in Las Vegas, and would attend IN PERSON. We were, of course, thrilled and delighted, albeit somewhat concerned as to whether our house would hold the crowd. As it turned out, more than 100 showed up, on very short notice, to meet and hear him. It was wall to wall people, but everyone squeezed in, including my 91 year old dad, who has been voting for democrats since FDR's days.
As always, Gov. Richardson was concise, straightforward, and on point. He also displayed his disarming sense of humor. And, as is his practice, the Governor did not leave after his remarks until he had shaken hands and personally greeted everyone in the house.
Felice and I want to thank Holly Welborn, Ken Rosenberg, and the rest of the Richardson team here in Las Vegas for their assistance in putting the gathering together and affording us the opportunity to meet Governor Richardson and his wife Barbara, and make our modest contribution to his campaign.
