Yeah, I like the beard and all, lol, but really if this guy can't come down on one side or the other for his endorsement by now then I don't want him anywhere near the WH, even Blair House. Does he have any convictions at all? I think he's just show-boating.

I have other evidence (just thought of this) as well. Before he went to visit N. Korea I sent him a long e-mail and postal letter describing (based on accounts from a Marine friend I have) exactly where dozens of fallen U.S. soldiers's graves could be found that had to be left behind during the 1950 retreat to Hungnam. Response: crickets Those soldiers' bodies are all but forgotten.

:kick:

1. He basically endorsed Obama today and said that he would be
making it public on Wed. I think he is more of a cabinent guy.

4. theres a nyt article where he says Tuesday is "d-day" and then
on CNN he went further and said that the party has to cometogether on Wednesday behind the front runner. It was pretty obvious what he was saying.

13. I just read at DU that Richardson said "if Hillary
didn't win on Tuesday, she should give up" so the party can move on.

Of course, she will not do that ~ she is so "experienced" she knows that she should keep bringing the party down like this - sad.

2. What he did today was better than an endorsement ...
Obama has plenty of endorsements- today Richardson proclaimed neutrality but said that whoever was leading the delgate count after Tuesday should be the nominee. I'll take that over an endorsement any day.

14. I've never thought
he'd be a good VP candidate. He has a stellar resume, but lacks what it takes to win a presidential election. Can you seriously see him generating the support that Obama is generating this year?

15. I don't think it really matters if he endorses somebody
He was very diplomatic today on CNN.

17. Nobody big is going to endorse Clinton at this point
because of her slim chance of winning and being down by a lot. Everyone wants their endorsement to count.
