Dear Friend:

I hope you watched the debate last night.

Because New Hampshire voters sure did. And our post debate research shows that Bill Richardson changed a lot of minds just ahead of Tuesday's primary!

You could see it in the room. I stood at the back so I could watch people's reactions. And I saw a lot of head nodding whenever the Governor talked about his foreign policy credentials or his executive experience. You can watch highlights here.

And if you missed the debate, you can watch the whole thing again tonight at 7 p.m. EST on CNN. If you saw it, we hope you can see it again, and be sure to tell your friends across the country to tune in. Chris Cillizza of The Washington Post said the Governor was a "winner" last night, he "shone" and definitely "showed his sense of humor and deep resume" we hope you get to see it.

New Hampshire news station WMUR conducted a focus group and when the Governor started talking about his experience you should have seen the results -- they went off the charts!

New Hampshire voters saw a candidate who knew a lot more than the rest of the field on the stage with him -- a candidate who is ready to lead from day one!

This is a whole new race in New Hampshire!

The field is narrower. The numbers are in flux. And people in New Hampshire are taking a closer look at Bill Richardson. Our field staff are hearing it across the state people are coming over to our side every day.

Help us close the gap in this last critical 48 hours! Your contribution NOW will extend our reach into every corner of New Hampshire before the polls open on Tuesday!

A lot of people don't remember this but Bill Clinton actually lost Iowa. And he only managed to place second in New Hampshire!

But as people got to know him better, they liked what he had to say. And the rest, as you know, is history.

We have our entire campaign mobilized here in New Hampshire because we know Bill Richardson can do the same thing!

Help us finish strong in New Hampshire so we can set the stage for the rest of the primaries! Please give generously TODAY!

What I saw as a debate in which not all of the candidates were invited. Dennis Kucinich has not yet dropped out of the presdential race but was not invited to this debate. How can a debate be fair if not all candidates are invited to it. How can an election be fair if not all candidates are not invited to every debate...

The smaller amount of candidates allowed America to see what so many of us have seen from the beginning; that Bill Richardson is the best qualified candidate (and maybe the only grownup) running for President.

Go get em Bill!

Great job in the debates. SO GLAD you're hanging in there after Iowa, Bill. Very smart move. Now the rest of the country can see why we're sticking with you.

what I saw was one of the worst debates EVER with no accountability offered by the presence of Dennis Kucinich, and Richardson simply repeating his resume, tapping the table as though he was sending some Morse Code, and shaking his jowels.

Richardson was complicit as the other candidates in enabling the exclusion of Dennis, and had Bill be excluded, we know Dennis would have spoken up for him.

Bill is running for Veep, that's clear. He's just lucky the mainstream media decided to impose a fully centrist constraint on the proceedings else those close poll numbers b/w Dennis and Bill could have been easily reversed.

Nice job, too - cherrypicking policy points from Dennis's platform from the very beginning.

We can certainly expect no change, just continued dominance from the Corporatists and Globalists.

I agree with George, the media has been !@$%^& candidates this entire race, especially with debates. Though you [Richardson] have been my 1 pick since day 1, Joe Biden was my 2. Unfortunately, he too got the shaft by media coverage, despite his extensive experience and charisma. I also empathizes for runners like Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul (both have great ideas), who couldn't debate either. CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and many others.... please let the American people decide and give equal coverage!! So many Americans have been waiting for this "change" for many years.

Congratulations for continuing on after Iowa. Perhaps a slight disappointment but hardly a failure. That was only the first of many steps to be taken towards being a success on this campaign trail. There will be good days and bad day, but what you do and make out of those bad days will display why you belong as The President of the United States of America.

We believe you can hit ground running and take over the reigns of the country and steer us towards a country that easily can be better than it currently is. Just be yourself, give us honest, intelligent answers to the questions we ask. Your resume should speak for it's self but some are not aware of the many, many successes you have quietly had. So let's keep them reminded as well that you are by no means a newcomer and untested candidate. Give them a good look at the charm, charisma, intelligence, compassion and humor you posses. We could use a candidate with a sense of humor rather than one constantly being the brunt of the humor.

I have to agree with Louis that you maybe the only grownup canidate currently camaigning.

Best of luck in N.H. and beyond!
