...he's his New Mexico campaign chairman as well.
BTW, here's a coupla paragraphs from todays' Albuquerque Tribune:
The Out-of-Towners The campaign directors for Democrats seeking the party's presidential nomination are tourists with a mission
By Shea Andersen
"Sure, Tip O'Neill said, 'All politics is local.'
But Bryan Burke remembers the former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives also said, 'You go to Massachusetts if you want a master's degree in politics, but you go to New Mexico if you want a Ph.D.'
Burke, a Maryland native who is running Wesley Clark's presidential campaign in New Mexico, is one of many out-of-staters here to get that advanced political degree--and to get their candidate ahead of the pack in the Land of Enchantment. 'New Mexico has always had delegates, and always had smart voters,' Burke said. 'But obviously, this year is quite different.'
That's because this year, New Mexico Democrats are hosting a Feb. 3 presidential nominating caucus. Before, the state held a June primary, months after the rest of the nation had picked the presidential nominee.
The change was pushed by New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, a Democrat who wants New Mexico to bask in the limelight--and to get candidates to pay attention to our issues."

Of course, the picture accompanying the article was of a Dean supporter named--I kid you not--Kathy Flake. :evilgrin:
