    I think that was quite the blow to the Clintons. Here's a guy who is friends with them and says that Obama is what this country needs. He knows the Clintons very well but knows they are not what this country needs...so he put the country ahead of his friendship. I admire him for it.

    I doesn't make a difference to me. I read the Bill had a meltdown about this at a delegate meeting in San Francisco. Guess Richarsdon betrayed the Clintons. New Mexico carried Hillary so guess Richardson doesn't agree with his constituents.

    maximum appropriate timing. it particularly is time for existence like individuals to incorporate brave chief which will address subject concerns head on rather of those dodgy baby-kisser that unwell vote for Ira conflict just to shop their political ambition. What has Obama executed incorrect so a ways? If he have been bitter approximately united statesa., he won't have come forward to be a president. he's neither black sufficient or too black to be white. look at subject concerns men. what's misguided in united statesa. making peace and on an identical time retaining the whole ability status of the international? each and everyone of those experienced experts have failed united statesa. woefully with their useful Iraq conflict, recession, mortgage disaster, interest delivery undertaking to distant places and so on. McCain the different day admitted he wrote a letter to help up the 435 Billion air bus settlement that finally went oversea. McCain mentioned he did no longer something incorrect meanwhile American lost their jobs with the shipment of interest to Europe. No media out cry different than somewhat nagging with the help of LOU DOBB. Obama could have been fired for that. for optimistic Obama could have been fired for Governor Spitzer's intercourse scandal if Spitzer have been to be Obama's great delegate and not that of Hillary. This election will tell the international wether individuals are particularly protecting racial weapons of their heart. awaken individuals.

    This is a man who thought deeply about his decision and how it would impact the race.

    I believe he truly believes that Sen. Obama is the better candidate and the better chance of winning in the Fall.

    How accurate he was in endorsing Sen. Obama, came when you saw Clinton's hatchet man-Carville- call him a Judas.

    Then yester-3-2-08, Clinton (Bill) lied and said he met with Richard 5 times and Richardson told him he was supporting Hillary each time-Richards denied that and basically called Bill a liar.

    He's entitled to endorse anyone he chooses.

    He apparently feels that Ohbummer is the better of the 2 Dem "Candidates".

    Maybe he really thinks Obama will make a better president. I thought you were supposed to vote your conscience not the favors.

    Very self-serving, very politically expedient for Richardson...what a back-stabber...and I am a McCain supporter...couldn't care less if Hillary or Obama wins the Dem candidacy...just proves that Dems will cannibalize their own to feather their own bed. Despicable behavior. Obama should take note of this man's behavior, and expect to be back-stabbed by him if it is in Richardson's personal interests to do so. these sorts of traitors to friendships deserve NOTHING>

    I think this is America and you can vote for whomever you want and the Clintons need to get over it.
