Of them, 29 were Hillary Clinton supporters, 46 were Barack Obama supporters, and 13 did not specify a preferred candidate.

They’re finally uploaded! Check out the videos from New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson’s Get out the Vote Rally in Hanover, New Hampshire Sunday.

 It's always interesting to see where the early money goes in the campaign cycle.  Generally speaking, the primary donors are hard core believers, close friends and family with an occasional risk taker willing to put their name out there early. 

It's the early risk taker that is usually the most interesting.  One early risk taker is Kevin Mattson.
