[UPDATED] Bill Richardson Back in Des Moines June 22

Days Until Bush Leaves Office = 586

New Mexico governor and Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson will be returning to Des Moines next Friday, June 22. The headline event for Richardson's Iowa swing will be the grand opening of his Iowa campaign HQ at 601 SW 9th Street, Suite K, Des Moines (South of MLK on SW 9th, North of the Racoon River Bridge, across from Taco Bell and the BP gas station - I'd give latitude and longitude, but the iPol GPS satellite system is down at the moment). Richardson will be on hand to personally launch the new HQ, and will be meeting and greeting from 5:00 - 6:30 PM.

The event is free and open to the public, and light refreshments will be served. I'll be there, of course; maybe I can finally get an answer to the "If you were a tree..." question.

In addition to the festivities at the Des Moines HQ, Richardson's campaign is also simulcasting the event to its field offices around the state. Here's the contact info:
