so Richardardson is going to endorse The Precious One?

[feminazi]

I guess experience isn't really as important to him as he said it was.

1. What a disappointment.

And I thought he had integrity. I guess he has the right to endorse anybody he wants to but I just want to :spank: him.

[Dinger]

2. I Am Supporting Hillary Clinton, But Let's Not

call Obama anything other than who he is, Obama. To me, Richardson's endorsement is good for Obama, but not that much of a detriment to Clinton.
And yes, Richardson is a disappointment, a major one.

[DemCam]

3. Ah, yes...The Big Shill, with palm out,

Slithers in his endorsement by email this morning...Good Friday.

I'm from New Mexico and am thankful I didn't support him in his bid
for President...as a good New Mexican Democrat.A done

He is now a lame duck with no place to go. Hillary couldn't promise him
what he wants...probably VP...because she doesn't need the demographic
that he brings. Obama does need an inroad into the Hispanic community as
well as Puerto Rico.

I fear that our party's leadership has colluded to back Obama at all cost,
to get Hillary out of the race after Pennsylvania no matter what happens
there, so they can kick the Clintons to the curb and take over the Party.
By blocking MI and FL it looks for all the world like, as they love to say...
Hillary can't beat the math.


A done deal? not quite yet. More work, more money to Hillary.

4. I'm disappointed in his decision

but I suspect its an offset of the possibility of Edwards endorsing Clinton?

[nonconformist]

5. An Edwards endorsement would be much more significant, thankfully

Richardson just doesn't have the following or the influence that Edwards has. I was strongly for Edwards before he dropped... I really hope he endorses Clinton soon.

6. Didn't New Mexico pick Hillary?

Just askin :shrug:
Voters'will ain't what it used to be.

[rodeodance]

8. yes,

[LulaMay]

13. So, by their own arguement, shouldn't he have to go for Hillary? What a joke.

[robbedvoter]

14. Yup. Like, say, Ted Kennedy and Kerry. But the argument only applies when it favors

their guy. This back and forth reminds me a lot of Florida 2000: the results had to be interpreted restrictively (the law rules) where it would otherwise favor Gore - but liberally (a county where election workers corrected incomplete ballots) - because it favored W. And MSM was touting both contradictory arguments at the same time 9without exp-laining who wins from both). Just like now - with Fla, Mi and the SD...

7. I think it will be important--nothing to dismiss-

[SaveOurDemocracy]

9. He's job hunting ... opportunistic move on his part.

:shrug: A disappointment ... but Hillary will push on in spite of all the knives in her back.

[Justyce]

10. Richardson is pro-NAFTA and

I don't think he has a very popular stance on immigration, to name a couple of problems with him. I don't think he would be the best choice for VP if Obama wins the nomination. JMHO.

[LadyVT]

11. I'm sure he was promised a post in Obama's administration.

New Mexico AND Hispanics are going for Clinton.

[libbygurl]

16. It sounds awfully like a very personal and petty reason. nt

[LulaMay]

12. What an opportunistic back stabbing loyal 'friend'. What a wanna be VP.

[libbygurl]

15. Notice how that endorsement was trumpeted loudly by the media everywhere, but Rep John Murtha's

...significant endorsement of Hillary was just a blip and merited no big announcements?

I like someone's description of BR - an overstuffed burrito - LOL. I used to like BR, but I suspect his choice of BO has much to do with his not getting the VP slot with HRC. To think he got big political boost during Bill C's presidency.

17. Where were the fashion police yesterday when Richardson took the stage? He looked like a fool.
