Richardson won't endorse until after Super Tuesday.
I thought this was interesting, since people were speculating that he would endorse Hillary today.

It does say he won't endorse today, however, I highly doubt he'd endorse on Super Tuesday, as it probably wouldn't do much for either candidate at the polls. Clearly Richardson is playing it safe and wants to see if there will be a frontrunner before endorsing. And I can respect that, it's tough putting your neck out there, especially if you're trying for the VP spot.

2. A devastating blow to Clinton's campaign
They thought they had his endorsement signed, sealed and delivered.

3. "I am not into this for leverage. I just want to do the right thing" Good for you, Bill!

4. And if Richardson thinks "the right thing" is endorsing Obama, what will you do?
Start bashing Richardson?

6. Watching football was like an endorsement
Without making specific political preferences, Richardson showed he has deep affection for the Clintons. It will have some resonance in the short term, even if later he chooses to support someone else. Indeed, I still think he'll wait until the nominee is very clear.
