Richardson Joins Obama


Former presidential candidate and governor of New Mexico has decided to endorse Obama.
Governor Richardson had been wooed by the Clinton's but in the end, Mr. Richardson said his“affection and admiration for Hillary & Bill Clinton will never waver,” but there’s something special about this guy,” Mr. Richardson said of Mr. Obama and that's why I am supporting him".
Richardson endorsement could add to Obamas credibility among Hispanics, as well as among Democratic super delegates whose choices could prove decisive if neither candidate can claim 2,025 delegates to win. Obama, has stopped Clinton from building momentum by consistently wining, and gaining more super delegates.

Richardson choose Obama despite his close ties to the Clintons. He served as energy secretary and U.N. ambassador in Bill Clinton's administration, and the former president joined Richardson to watch last month's Super Bowl.
But when it came time to decide, Richardson said Obama "will be a historic and great president, who can bring us the change we so desperately need by bringing us together as a nation here at home and with our allies abroad."

The Clinton campaign, was looking forward for revotes in Florida and Michigan to support their claims of big wins in big states. Since the revote issue has been shot down, the point of no return is coming quickly. If it becomes inevitable that neither candidate can win and we pick one, will Clintons supporters support Obama or will Obama supporters support support Clinton? Possibly the only way to resolve this issue, one elects the other to becomes VP.
