Richardson Brings Hope
A very professional looking site launched in January 2007.   By Ken Bulko (NY), Marsha Kelly (MN), Michelle Lindsey (CO), Cara Valente-Compton (NM) and Charles Compton (NM).
 
 

America for Richardson
"Growing the Netroots for Bill Richardson President 2008"
"America for Richardson is an open-source online community of Bill Richardson for President supporters.  The community allows us to organize online, discuss the Presidential campaign, and organize offline meetings.  The best way to get involved here is to jump on in.  First register, and then just blogging, commenting, and getting into the mix.  Hopefully we'll start talking about how we can start pulling together Richardson supporters in our own communities, but that's down the road."

America for Richardson was founded by Ken Bulko of Niskayuna, New York, Jeff Gulko of Virginia, and Emmett O’Connell of Olympia, Washington in October 2005. (more)

Of note:  The section "...for Richardson blogs" has content other Richardson blogs can pick up: "Richardson seeks solutions for regular people's pocketbooks," "Richardson — Best résumé of any potential Democratic presidential candidate," "Richardson Talks," "Richardson Gets Positive Review in the Denver Post," "Vote for Richardson"
