Bill Richardson knows a great leader when he sees one.
Talk about having big balls. Going against the Clinton's was brave. He is right about Obama being a one in a lifetime candidate. I am so glad he came out this week, it couldn't came at better time. Especially when a lot of us where asking a few days ago if a Dem leader/Superdel will come to Obama's side after this latest Wright B.S... And sure enough a big gun stepped up.

This will help Obama with the latino vote also. And polls are already showing Obama pulling ahead again. I'm not sure if that was with Richardson's help or not. I think Obama just has strong supporters. Maybe this is a sign of more supers to jump this week.

Thanks Governor Richardson..

1. Gov Richardson is kissing ass to be in line for Secy of State.
He's just looking out for himself and is willing to throw anyone over to get what he wants. He's a traitor.

9. And that shows what a POS he is
Do you think he would be endorsing Obama if Clinton was leading in delegates?

He is thinking of what will benefit him and nothing else.

11. If Clinton was leading in delegates..
Obama would have been pressured to step aside long ago. She's getting way more slack because of who she is.

13. Unless it was discovered that their opponent had a 20 year relationship with a America hating racist
Which makes him unelectable.

6. If he prefers Obama over Hillary...
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 08:27 AM by Donkeykick
than why didn't he come out with this endorsement during a real important time--Texas Primary?

I feel that the good Governor is not telling us the rest of the story. :eyes:

14. I'm thinking he saw the same thing when he last looked in the mirror.
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 09:09 AM by WinkyDink

15. People who really know the Clintons are endorsing Obama.
That should tell you all you need to know about what they really think of her "35 years of experience" and "ready from Day 1" crap.

17. Gov Richardson is HONEST and DECENT
sneering is what they do

Republicans is who they are

DLC should migrate over just like Strom Thurman and Holy Joe Lieberman
