ABC News' Leigh Hartman Reports: Presidential hopeful Gov. Bill Richardson D-N.M., said in a phone interview Wednesday with the Des Moines Register that, "in order for me to do well, I have to beat one of the top three major contenders" in Iowa. If so, that means that Richardson has a great deal of ground to make up before January caucus.
According to the latest ABC/Washington Post poll Richardson only attracts 11 percent support when matched against the rest of the '08 Democratic presidential field. That's a full 15 points behind the nearest of the three Democratic frontrunners.
Richardson also added in the interview that he hopes to do even better than just beating a frontrunner; he is aiming to, "finish within the top three or higher."
Richardson has spent considerable time campaigning in Iowa where he's run a series of humorous ads touting his years of experiences as a governor, congressman and former ambassador ih the hopes of improving his national poll numbers.

And what did Dennis Kucinich get on the ABC poll? First? Hmmm... Better give him less time at the next debate.

I think its pretty sad all these talk shows and the meida only want the top 2 or 3.... In my opinon neither HILLARY, OBAMA, or EDWARDS can match the experience and resumes of the lesser known candidates.......THE MEDIA is doing a horrific job on covering the candidates as they choose to cover whom they want and when they want!!!! VERY SAD.....Look at RICHARDSON resume, his foreign policy experience, and all he has done for his home state as Governor... Not to mention as the Governor of NM brokered a cease fire in Sudan, Negotiated with NK about the Nukes as well as brought back 6 US soldiers remains from the Korean war, and Freed hostages from Sudan and Iraq... Freeing them from Sudan as NM Governor... Think about it people... Arent we all tired of letting the media chose whom we can vote for? RICHARDSON FOR PRESIDENT all the way!!!
