Best Wishes From Richardson and Clinton

I have decided to post e-mails from democratic candidates so people can get an idea as to what kind of information the political candidates are sending to potential voters.

This one is from Bill Richardson's campaign.

Dear xxxx,
I hadn't planned on any more e-mails before the holiday, but one of our volunteers in New Hampshire sent me this link from a television station in Manchester and I wanted to pass it along:
http://www.wmur.com/politics/14651842/detail.html
First of all, I love the headline: "Clinton Slips as Richardson Gains Momentum."
But what it shows is even more important. It says that Bill Richardson has "made the most headway" of any of the Democratic candidates and has doubled his support in New Hampshire since the summer. He is now statistically even with John Edwards and closing in on Senator Obama.
It also featured a nice quote from the Governor:
"I have campaigned everywhere, shook so many hands and visited so many New Hampshire towns," Richardson said. "I love doing it, but when you see the fruits of your labor producing momentum, that's where I want to be."
Richardson said he thinks voters are making the connection that he's qualified to bring change to the country.
"What's happening in New Hampshire is they are seeing me as a candidate who has serious experience -- as a governor, as a diplomat and as a secretary of energy," Richardson said. "That I've been able to bring change."
But perhaps the most important number in the poll is how many New Hampshire voters still don't know who they're going to vote for in the primary: a whopping 47%!
That's a huge number. And it supports the point we've been talking about for months. No matter what the pundits say, this race is still wide open.
I'm sure you're thinking more about tomorrow than next January right now. But as somebody who has played a big role in creating this momentum, I thought you'd like to know about it before you started your holiday.
I'm heading back to New Mexico tonight to be with my family but let me wish you a Happy Thanksgiving from everyone in the campaign!
All the best,
Dave

Another Richardson email


Dear xxx,
I love Thanksgiving.
I truly do. Every last thing about it is wonderful. I love getting together with family and friends. I love the meal. I love the football. I love the four-day weekend without having anything that particularly has to get done.
And of course, I love the fundamental idea behind it -- giving thanks for all the good people and good things in your life. This year, when Barbara and I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner, you and everyone else who has backed me for President will be tops on my list of things I'm thankful for.
Not only would my campaign not be possible without your support, democracy itself would not be possible without people like you getting actively involved in the process.
So, thank you. Thank you for all the help you've given me up to now and for sticking with me through the primaries.
For me, this year's going to be different than past years. I'm only taking Thanksgiving day off and then I'm back to campaigning.
But the temperature is supposed to drop down to 30 degrees in Santa Fe on Thursday so I'm going to honor one longstanding Thanksgiving tradition: I'm going to build the first fire in the fireplace of the season. That's another thing about this holiday that I absolutely love!
Barbara wanted to tack on a note so I'll sign off. But sincerely, thank you once again. And have a happy Thanksgiving!
I'll be in touch.
Bill
Hello xxx!
I just want to echo what Bill already said. Thank you so much for all of your generous support and faith in my Bill! It is truly touching to know that so many people across the country believe in him and what he can do for America.
I will tell you one thing I'm particularly thankful for this year, though. I'm thankful for having him home and all to myself for one whole day!
Happy Thanksgiving from the Richardsons!
Fondly,
Barbara

Dear xxx,

I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I love this holiday, and celebrating together with family and friends.

Thanksgiving is also a time to think of those in need. Every year I am inspired by the outpouring of generosity from all over the country. I hope that this year you'll share in that tradition, whether you volunteer your time or make a donation to help others.

At our campaign offices in California, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and South Carolina as well as our headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, we're accepting donations of nonperishable food to help local efforts to fight hunger. If you're not near one of our offices in those states and would still like to give back this Thanksgiving, here are a few national organizations with information about how you can help.
• America's Second Harvest
• 1 800 Volunteer
• End Hunger Network
• Hunger Free America
This year, I'm so thankful to have you with me working for change. From my family to yours, have a very happy Thanksgiving.

All the best,

Sincerely,

Hillary Rodham Clinton
