Bill Richardson scores his first legislative endorsement, as State Rep. Marcella Frevert of Palo Alto County looks over the resume and hires the governor. The endorsement is part of a recent flurry of activity on the Democratic side:
Time for an updated chart of donkeys:
| Total | Senate | House | |
| Clinton | 18 | 10 | 8 |
| Obama | 15 | 6 | 9 |
| Biden | 14 | 2 | 12 |
| Edwards | 10 | 2 | 8 |
| Dodd | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| Richardson | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Uncommitted | 23 | 8 | 15 |
| Total | 83 | 30 | 53 |
The standout stat from this chart remains Joe Biden's high levels of legislative support -- actually leading on the House side, and only one donkey behind Obama --- despite his low standing in the polls.
