The first straw poll in Minnesota has delivered some good news from that state: In one precinct, Richardson came in second behind Obama. Third was a tie between Edwards and Clinton. One person abstained and one voted 'undecided'. More information from someone who attended is available here.
Caucuses and straw polls like this are really neat - neighbors getting together to talk about who can best serve the needs of the community and trying to persuade one another. If you have not had a chance to observe one, you should check it out. I am hoping to get to do so sometime this cycle.

Update:
The Santa Fe New Mexican has a report of the events of the Minnestota straw poll above, including results from the rest of the state. Overall, Richardson made a very strong showing state-wide.
It's only a straw poll, but Bill Richardson took second in the Minnesota Democratic Farm Labor Party presidential straw poll. He beat everyone but Barack Obama. It was just one precinct, and Obama won in a landslide, but hey, it's a start.
In the overall poll, Hillary Clinton (324) beat Obama (323) by one vote, with Richardson (176) taking a strong fourth beind John Edwards (115). MyDD summarizes the entire caucus results here.
