Wow finally Richardson some one younger than 70 I was wondering when all the change would be shown since most of his endorement has come from people that have been in washington since I was in eight grade and that was in 1966.

I think Richardson would be a great endorsement. I also think that Richardson would be a Great V.P. pick.
Obama 2008!

Richardson's endorsement will have the same impact as Dodd's endorsement.

I think Richardson, who was with the Clintons in the White House will endorse Hillary.

It won't make an impact.

Edwards needs to endorse someone before this race gets real ugly.

P T. I could not agree with you more he would make a GREAT VP.

I pray that Richardson endorse Obama. I am glad that chris Dodd did. Obama will make a great president. He inspires the world . We here in Nort Carolina does 99% of my friends does. We are glad that we have someone like Obama to run this country. Hope is the word. Faith, Hope, Credibilty, and Leadership. Go Obama

Bill Richardson, your endorsement would be terrific. From some of your recent comments, I would say that your aspirations are pretty much in line with Baracks.

Don't worry about the Clintons...they will be history after the Texas primary anyway.

America needs your support now. Please stand for change and a new direction for this country.

A couple weeks ago, Mr Richardson was on national media and said it would be the end of the democratic party if the uncommited super delegates did not vote for whom the people of the US wanted.
Reports are that Hillary and Bill have been calling him every day asking him not to commit until after Texas and Ohio. They know if he commits before that day, Hillary is done.

For some reason, Hillary's vote on the initial resolution bothers Obama, but he is not bothered by the "yea" votes of Kerry, Daschle, Dorgan, and Dodd, whose endorsements he holds. I can't figure that out. Are Kerry, Daschle, Dorgan, and Dodd are making a “poor” judgment again since they are endorsing Obama based on his own analogy and logics? Did Sen. Rockefeller voted “yea” too?

Gov. Richarson...I was hoping for you and Al Gore to endorse Hillary Clinton. That is your responsibility. I know you know better.. Obama is not the best qualified candidate. Do the right thing and endorse the only candidate that can make a difference immediately.

Yes, we need someone who has organized state dinners to run the country.

If Bill Richardson endorsed Obama, it could pay off big for him. I expect that he's on Obama's short list for a running mate.

I understadn that Bill Clinton watched the Superbowl with Bill Richardson, no doubt with an agenda. Bill Richardson is to worldly wise not to see through the Clintons.

My guess is that he will endorse Obama, hopefully the day before Super Tuesday II.

Bill Richardson should endorse Hillary, both have known Gov. Richardson forever. With the strong ties the Clinton's have with the Hispanic community, I expect Bill Richardson to endorse Hillary. Many Hispanics would be very upset if he endorsed Obama.

"Bill Richardson should endorse Hillary, both have known Gov. Richardson forever."

Which may turn out to be the very reason he endorses Barack Obama.

I think it would be deadly for Richardson to endorse right now with the NAFTAgate going on and Rezko trial just getting started. How can you stand behind someone who just admitted he lied to the American people.

I am guessing that Richarson will come out today to endorse Obama. The polls show that Obama will likely has Texas and will be within a few points in Ohio. Vermont will equal out RI if Hillary wins there. Hillary needed to win BIG BIG in order to get back in the race and that is not in the cards. It is time for them to get in, especially after an ugly week of ugly fear mongering by Hillary.

Hillary may have pipe dreams of pressing this to the convention but after Obama has the undoubted mathematical win of the most delegates -likley after Tuesday, the supers should step in and push it up over 2000. Doesn't matter the reason the Supers were setup - that's legacy now. Now it is to push the majority. Backroom deals are a thing of the past. Bill Richardson is right. It would be the end of the democratic party if the supers tried to nominate a person with less delegates then the other.

Vet_Sk, with the FL delegate hearings on March 17th how could you suggest for Hill to give up? Backroom deals are of the Past? Tell Obama and his aide Goolsby

I think it would be unwise for the political futures of either Richardson or Edwards to endorse Obama at this point. A lot of the base of the democratic party feel they have been sold out and they will have long memories. If Obama is elected and bombs out, which is certainly a strong possibility, no amount of pretty speeches or excuses is going to help him....or them.

Richardson and Edwards have one more day to make relevant endorsements. Richardson could help seal the deal with middle-aged Hispanics in Texas. Edwards could help with labor in Ohio.

Otherwise there won't be a big shift in delegates on March 4.

The next day, however, every black elected superdelegate who wants to be reelected will declare their support for Barack Obama. That should pretty much wrap up the nomination.

It would be better for the general election if Richardson and Edwards endorse now and give Obama whatever boost they can in the primaries.

Waiting till afterwards seems almost cowardly.

If either Richarson or Edwards are going to endorse, I hope that they endorse Barack. Aside from all of the distrations of elections, when you look closely at Barack and Hillary, you really see two very different people. Barack sincerely wants to improve our country and truly make changes that will help the middle class. His healthcare plan has been widely praised at lowering costs and improving quality. He wants to expose what actually happens in our government, so that the American people can honestly see what is happening and get involved. Barack Obama seeks REAL change. Hillary would make improvements, but Barack will dramatically change the way our government operates. There are real differences between Barack and Hillary. Not to mention, Barack will win in November...Hillary might not.

I guess Obama is making a play for the Latino vote. I hope Richardson doesn't allow Obama to pimp him out.

Richardson will endorse Clinton. That will help her carry Texas. She already has Ohio and RI. Hillary will also get the delegates from the FL primary and she will PA big time and that will be end of the Obama dream team -- bc it will all be but a dream for Obama after all is done in August!

Richardson has been to Vegas, He knows about odds, if he's a smart bettor he should endorse Obama because president Obama would pick him for vice-president.
I'm from Texas and we are picking Obama.

I agree with the message above that said former candidate endorsements were mostly irrelevant now. There's not so many undecided voters left, and those who are undecided have been unswayed by the avalanche of endorsements for either Obama or Clinton thus far.

I'm looking for an experienced leader for my president, not a preacherman. I already have a preacher who I see every Sunday. I want a leader know understand the world in which we live. Dreamers write poetry and paint pictures.

What can we do to counter this?

The same that was done for Edward… and for some of you to do it now …

Send an open letter to Richardson – for him to take charge on preserving the unity of the party that he says he is so concerned about…

Here are some thoughts for my contribution for this letter…

I agree, it shows a bit of my temper…

Mr. Richardson, as you are so concerned for the unity of the party.. you know better that the only way to keep it united is ALSO for you to endorse HILLARY… for the TRUE base of the democratic party is behind Hillary…
Why are you waiting so long… it shows to me that someone – doesn’t want to take political risk…
It seems to me that you like to be court by the Obama camp….
When your endorsement will come (if it ever) it will show as a well convenient – well strategically prepared…
This election is about character --- and you know too well that Hillary has the right resume- the right character…
Voting without character -
This is not a risk to take --- it is a mistake to make…

Heed my words…. Obama will not deliver in November against McCain…
It will show one more time – and even more this year that democrats even with the popular support they ever were able to generate – did not deliver the white house….
You don’t care about Obama’s career. His will be done… Kerry, Kennedy and those who push Obama for a pay back time against Hillary will bear responsibility…

By the way Richardson --- you too will have responsibility to respond too….
Unity of the party,,,

Give me a break…
Self interest yes,,,,,, again and again….

The fact that Richardson has'nt endorsed him yet is indicative that he wants to wait and see. i feel Richardson really wants to support and endorse Hillary, but doesnt want to be on the wrong side of the track. the man is'nt worth either one getting concerned over. if all he wants is a political post hes no better than any of the other politicians. he's just playing the field waiting to see who will come out on top.

Bill Richardson a free man. He has the right to vote different

doesn't matter to me who obama puts on the ticket, if he manages to get nominated. i won't vote for him, ever! but whoever accepts and runs with him will lose my respect completely.

About Hillary and Obama, I believe Obama would make a good president, he seems to be sincere about the people and their struggle to survive in a declining economy. In my opinion, Hillary becoming president is the same as her husband former president Bill Clinton. We need a new Commanding Officer with new ideas, this will be a repeat of history. We must realize that each candidate present a great speech but nothing will become law until it passes through the house to congress and approved by congress. However, it seems that the best choices for president is Obama and Clinton.

Bill Richardson was very unimpressive when he ran in the primaries. In light of the Obama/Wright controversy, this endorsement just shows bad judgement on Richardson's part. Furthermore, Richardson is a strong advocate for immigration amnesty ... and, since Obama has been meeting with La Raza, this endorsement makes one question Obama's recent proposals to strengthen border security and immigration control.
