ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton, who rarely gives shout-outs to her Democratic rivals, whether they are in the race or out, delivered an ode to Bill Richardson.
Speaking to Sheet Metal Workers in Las Vegas -- Clinton said to the crowd, "I want to thank two people, one of whom is not here and one of whom is. Bill Richardson has been a friend of mine for a long time. He is a distinguished, accomplished American public servant. He has given of himself to the Congress, to the cabinet of our administration when my husband was president. He has served with distinction as the governor of New Mexico. And he broke through a barrier by running for president."
The crowd cheered for Clinton's Richardson's comments, which took up about 45 seconds out of her 12-minute speech to the union workers.
Sen. Clinton, who doesn't speak Spanish, nodded as Sen. Bob Menendez, Raul Yzaguirre, and Henry Cisneros praised her in Spanish. A sign that read "Juntos con Hillary Una Vida Mejor" was above the team.
Clinton was well received by the crowd and was cheered during her short stop at the factory.

One of the great things about this campaign is that three of the major representatives of the many minorities of the U.S. are participating to run for a presidential election, and those are the black minorities, The hispanic minorities and women. any of them will make a historical and profound change in Americas politics if any of these candidates would win the election a true democracy will be born in this country, however when we see the reality the best suitted candidate and the one that has realy made a difference has been Senator Hillary Clinton. Do not let the cheap retoric of the republican party misslead you.They can talk about making changes in the economy to help average workers but in reality they have always supported the welthy, the powerful transnational industry, and themselves. Senator Heleri has made very practical proposals for health and for education reforms. she has made it clear that the economy under the republican president has been severely damaged and she has given clear guidelines for a viable initiative to stop the war in Iraq.
Vote for Hilari Clinton, do not forget that during former President Bill Clinton's term she was an active participant in the political arena and that she advocated for a health care program which was dismanteld by the republicans, Unlike other former first ladies who were more occupied with fashion and more thraditional roles attached to the wives of former presidents. Mrs Clinton has been true to what an American politician should be. Her desitions regarding her private life as long as they donot interfere with her political desition should stay private as wel as with any other public servant.

Aligning with Hilary is a lose-lose for him. Even if she wins the primary the polls suggest she won't match up against the remaining Republican contenders...except Rommney.
I'd love to see an Obama-Richardson or an Edwards-Richardson ticket
