‘Judas’ Richardson and the Gospel of Bill Clinton

I love the humility: “And nobody worked harder for him or served him more loyally, during some very difficult times, than I did.” It speaks volumes. Also, I think I’d fire my staff if no one gave me “notice” that a former US president had been calling…

Ol’Richardson didn’t realize that the term “Bloodsport” really means what it sounds like it mens.
So we know that politics ain’t about doing what you think is best for the country. It is about HER winning, or no Dem winning.
Kinda reminds me of the “you are either with us or you are against us” meme from recent times.
Richardson’s just a naive pup, but he’s learning.

Judas Richardson, just another party turncoat. They will all get theirs in the end for betraying the party base. Go Hillary or McCain

Cintin’s whinning again? When are they going to talk issues? I am sick of hearing about it. It’s politics Bill.

This is strictly politics. Obama promised Richardson more than Hillary did; in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an Obama/Richardson ticket should Obama get the nomination.
Richardson is a Judas, pure and simple. Bill Clinton gave him opportunities that he parlayed into becoming NM’s governor. Richardson would not be where he is without the Clintons.
Should this work out as a VP slot for Richardson, it will give me great pleasure to vote against not only Obama but Richardson as well. Neither of them are fit to run this country .

This has nothing to do with the good of the country or the loyalty to the Clintons. This is about Richardson doing what will benefit Richardson. If he thought Hillary had a better chance of winning than Obama he would have been singing her praises from the rooftops. The guys is an opportunistic loser.

After working in Bill’s administration, I’d think Richardson would have a pretty good idea what a Hillary administration would like. Obviously, he had major reservations or he would indeed have endorced Hillary. I think it took courage for him to place what he percieved as the nation’s need for a less partisan administration above personal loyalty. Let’s not forget that it was the elevation of personal loyality above other qualifications that gave us Brownie at FEMA and Gonzales as AG.

Richardson is an opportunist. I do not like the guy and I think he is way too full of himself. He damaged himself politically by being a person of no loyalty to the Clintons – but mostly to the Hispanics. I am also tired of his portraying himself as holier than thou. He also is ungrateful with each time he states he worked hard for the Clinton’s as if he paid back any debt or gratitude with his wonderful efforts. Richardson is dispicable. If he doesn’t notice Obama being just as divisive and full of personal attacks against his opponent- Richardson is blind or dumb and confirms even more that his opinion and endorsement are totally meaningless.

“One guy is way ahead” ? What are you smokin’? It is a neck and neck race. Anc Bill Clinton’s comments are very true- what outrage would there be if the tables were turned and people were crying for Obama to drop out of the race with such a close race?????

Judas was not called a betrayer because he cast his vote for someone else. Judas was called a betrayer because he told the enemies of Jesus where they could find Him. Judas knew that they sought to defame, destroy or even kill Jesus. Bill Richardson did not hand Hillary over to the media to destroy her chances at becoming President. Bill Richardson simply voted for the person who he felt was the best candidate. As an elected official, Bill Richardson chose not to betray his country. He had to put his country over his friendship.
Although we may not all agree who is best for the country, it’s not fair to call him a traitor for simply not voting for Hillary. You can’t “pinky swear” your way into the Presidency.

The racist arrogance of many of you is despicable and totally consistent with the Clintons. Bill Richardson earned any posts he got because he was qualified, and he kept it because he was compentent. He owed Bill Clinton nothing more than hard work and dedication while he served. He certainly is not obligated to years later support his wife for the presidency if he feels there is a candidate that can better lead the country. I f he were not latino and the Clintons were not white, this simple fact would be obvious.

Carville will sell his country for the Clintons just because they gave him a contract during their term in office..

One guy be way ahead. It’s TRUE. It may be sad for some, but it is still true.
Hills has to win each and every state BIG TIME just to catch up to Obama in the elected delegates.
For starters if she wins PA with by 20 points, she nets 15-16 more delegates than O. That’s all. And then she’ll be down by 145 with 9 contests left with just over 400 delegates up for grabs.
So Ya, One Candidate is way out front.

I think its insulting to Hispanic Americans. Bill Richardson served Bill Clinton well, because it was his duty to the president and not to Hilary Clinton. What bothers me is, Bill Richardson is not the only person in the Clinton campaign to support Obama, but I think the problem is, the Clintons think Richardson is their slave because he is a minority. Because during their administration they didn’t have any loyalty to anyone whose last name isn’t Clinton, they have no idea of loyalty, not to the democratic party or to the idea of loyalty

This Behavior is one reason dems don’t win presidential elections. They never exhibit loyalty to their own, then how can the American people expect anything different towards them.
Hillary 08

When it comes to the Superdelegates, the clinton campaign insists that they should support who they think will actually win the GE and be a better President. But, when one decides it’s actually Obama, then they wonder why they are not endorsing based on past relationships.
When the race started, Hillary had all the establishment support and way more superdelagates than anyone else in the race. But, as the race went on, naturally some started supporting other candidates as well. That’s why we have elections. That’s why it’s a race. No one is entitled to the position of Presidency. As for Bill’s question, Obama would have long been forced out if he had lost 11 states in a row, and was mathematically unlikely for him to win. C’mon really, would she be allowed to run this far if she was not Clinton? She is just been given the benefit of the doubt because she is a Clinton. So, lets not try to paint this whole thing as if she is the underdog or any of that sort.

@Surelock:
Fink comes to mind, but hey, this is a presidential election and Richardson picked the horse he thinks will gain him the most political influence. Obama is weak on foreign policy and legislation and needs Bill Richardson to make up for his own experience-deficit. Carville is being Carville but I like him. No BS; just venom.
Get ready to rumble all the way to the August. The floor fights will be spectacular!! This makes Survivor look scripted. ;-)
I am looking forward to it.

ddpwoman: Except for Judas Richardson who am I disrespecting? Did I call you out and disrespect you? No! I like Carville call them like I see them, if thats what you say is disrespect then all the comments that are made by you and other about Bill and Hillary Clinton which are often put in the most vulgar terms are to be interpreted as some crazy form of ederment! You have the right to your opinion and I and Carville have a right to ours! You see this is America and thats what democracy is all about!

Vannessa: Maybe Obama could run next time and when he does he could leave Rev Wright and Michelle home, or at least waite unitl they start loving america!

To obama supporter James who says “your conscience and your country must always be first”
too bad he does not apply the same standard to obama as he sat listening to racist anti-American rant for twenty years
Or maybe James is applying the same standard which would mean obama is a confirmed racist and anti American
Either james is a hypocrite or obama is a racist anti american . My bet is on the latter.

Choosing personal loyalty over personal convictions is the same type of litmus test used by Republicans. I continue to believe that the Clintons and their “ilk” behave just like Republicans. In fact, I believe the current Republican behaves more like a Democrat than the Clintons do…Not in politics but in respecting his opponent and not engaging in “us vs. them” personal attacks….

Vanessa: Are those the same polls that said she would lose CA,TX,OH,NH. You like to quote polls but you dismiss them when you are behind or they are wrong! When all the votes are counted in PA I think you will be singing a different tune!

yes the tide is changing mark, to racist, hate filled, unamerican, rhetoric..by the candidate, his wife, his paster, etc.

Hillary supporters and Obama supporters – to say that if the candidate of your choice doesn’t win the nomination you’ll then vote for McCain – you’ll be diggin’ your own grave. Stop with the temper tantrums already. Have you forgotten that McCain is a republican and a warmonger at that. Part of the reason our economy is in the litterbox is because of this damn Iraq war that is costing this country trillions of dollars. There goes health care, there goes jobs, there goes education, all of it down the tubes if McCain is elected. On the other hand, if you don’t care what happens to this country and just want to “hurt” the democrat you don’t support but who gets the nomination then you deserve exactly what you get. People like you shouldn’t be allowed to vote because you’re acting like two-year-olds and not really caring what happens to our country. Revenge voting is really, really stupid.

Good news again.
Another big fish for Barack Obama. Today he’ll pick up the endorsement of Lee Hamilton, who besides being a former Congressman from Indiana — a state with an important primary still to be held — was also the top Democrat on the 9/11 Commission and a co-chairman of the Iraq Study Group.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Mr. Hamilton said he viewed Mr. Obama, from neighboring Illinois, as a champion of ‘’the politics of consensus and not of partisan division.”
‘’I think he is driven by the search for the common good,’’ added Mr. Hamilton, who is not a superdelegate but who remains influential and popular in the Hoosier State.

Vanessa: Who are you trying to convince me or you?

It be Ovah.
Hills has to win each and every state BIG TIME just to catch up to Obama in the elected delegates.
If she wins PA with by 20 points, she nets just 15-16 more delegates than O. That’s all.
And then if she can do that she’ll be down by 145 with 9 contests left with just over 400 delegates up for grabs.
It Ovah.

I wonder if Rep. Hamilton is familiar with Axelrod/Obama’s stalking horse, Deval Patrick, the Governor of Massachusetts. People had high hopes for this inexperienced politician when he ran 18 months ago on a platform of “change”, “hope” and “yes, we can”. Well, 15 months into the job, it’s “No, I can’t” – can’t work EVEN with a democratically controlled legislature – much less cross the aisle for support of the centerpiece of his economic stimulus plan. His centerpiece – casino gambling (YUCK). When it was clear it wasn’t going to pass, he didn’t even stick around to thank his surrogates or get debriefed. He was too busy packing for a trip to New York to shop around his autobiography. Expect it to be brief. He has no hope of re-election. At least as governor, he can’t make any fatal mistakes or those that have international repercussions -like the president can. People need to look more closely before they support Obama – untested and inexperienced.

When Carville called the good Richardson that name it reminded me of what I thought of Carville and his long face and long ears and his venom,coming across like the biblical figure–and I had thought to myself then, he lacked only the hook-tail and the pitch-fork.

I’m struck by all these Baby Boomer MALE senators who are so eager to jump on Obama’s bandwagon. Richardson (who with that beard is looks like he’s channeling Pavarotti) said something to the effect that it’s time for a new generation. Why would all these guys be so willing to step aside? I know that they think they still have much to offer – three of them thought they had so much to offer that they ran for President; Kerry, Dodd, Richardson. Maybe support for Obama is THEIR midlife crisis! Go get a convertible guys! There won’t be any repercussions for the rest of us. That is unless you ask Ted Kennedy to drive.

bho won his states on the back of the 90% black vote. the other sub-groups numbers almost all split between 60-40 or 40-60 or there abouts. however, this group that put him on top, IS A GIVEN FOR THE DEMOCRATS. WE ALWAYS GET THE BLACK VOTE. so his state wins are using a traditional voting block with 90%. to win in november, if the nominee, he will need large numbers of other blocks…including hillary supporters. those groups will not flock to him in large enough numbers for him to win. the vile postings of the bho voteres has ensured that.
he is agead in the primary using the votes ANY democrat always gets. no other group will flock blindly to him in such mass.
i will remain, “clinton supporter for mccain”.

Vanessa,
You just don’t get it. Obama is unelectable regardless of what the polls say. Push polls. Silly little push polls. Can’t wait until April 22nd.
And Richardson is Judas. Perhaps he can get some counseling from the good Rev. Wright.

OBAMA IS OUR SAVIOR. Barak and Reverend Wright are Right, God D*** america. Now is the time to rally around Barak and Michelle and make them proud! No more so called elections where typical white people vote, blacks have been held down too long! And news flash america, Barak is right, your typical white american is a racist! Obama will apologize to our Muslim brothers for arrogant american policies of hate and slavery. Only Obama can forgive an evil nation founded on slavery. REPARATIONS NOW!

The Commander Guy said: “One guy is way ahead and represents a change from the same old same old.
The other is way behind and is a blast from the past.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make the call here.”
Are you kidding? Having Kennedy, Kerry, Richardson, Dodd, Leahy, etc. pulling the strings of a President Obama would represent “Change”???

cappamore wants change I see.
People don’t want a third Clinton term after 2 bush terms because they want change. They want the third clinton term so they can go back to the future.
But it don’t really matter anymore because this race is OVER.

OBAMA IS WINNING IN SMALL STATES ONLY BECAUSE OF BLACK VOTE. LEAVE ASIDE THE BLACK VOTE AND SEE IF HE IS WINNING? LIBERAL PRESS HAS LOST ALL RESPECT AND INTEGRITY FOR JOURNALISM. THEY ARE ACTING LIKE LITTLE PUPPIES OF OBAMA SUCKING AT EVERY MORSEL THAT FALLS FROM HIS MOUTH. SCRIPTED SPEECHES WILL NOT SOLVE OUR NATIONS PROBLEMS. OBAMA HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING FOR THE BLACK, HISPANIC COMMUNITY OR FOR ANY OTHER CAUSE. HOW CAN WE EXPECT HIM TO ANYTHING IF HE IS ELECTED A DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE? IF BLACK COMMUNITY IS VOTING FOR OBAMA BASED ON RACE, WHICH HAS BEEN PROVEN, THEN WHY SHOULDN’T THE OTHER COMMUNITY DO THE SAME?

who really cares

Nobody is whinning the media just needs to keep every body at each other when are we going to wake up and stop being led by the lies. They are laughing at us all the way to the bank they are just like any other actor’s on TV. Maybe that’s why the bible say’s becareful what you see and hear how can we let them put such hate in are hearts.

vanessa, if you re-look at my post, i said in the general election, in the fall, the black vote will not put him over the edge because the black vote is already in the 40ish% who are always democrats(like the 40% of population always voting republican). what he needs for NOVEMBER, is the % increase in his “given” 40% to beat mccain. those are the numbers he will not have.
ddpwoman, there is NO question in my mind that you did NOT have to be pushed to vote bho,like the other 90% black bloc. thegeneral populous will not be pleased with reverend wright, et.al., or bho’s visible lack of patriotic display(pledge of allegiance, hand over heart), or his wife’s comments, or his injection of race, or so many other things that will not sit well with many americans. the mere fact you call yourself AA shows a need to be separate. this is our country, and beyond first generations we are AMERICANS! not euro-americans, or asian americans, or indian americans, etc., most people are proud to be AMERICANS.
kudos to you and your family, but that is not what america sees. watch the news with black on black crime, drop out rates, etc. there should be little surprise that i speculate the country is not ready, especially the first time a black man runs.

we might as well give bho the nomination. then,
he will run,
he will loose, a
and he will be gone.

That’s water under the bridge. Richardson or Judas made his choice – pile on your friend when they needed you most.
He has made his choice, let him live with it. He sold out. Don’t need to explain his choice.
looks like his conscience is bugging him.

The Commander Guy — I’m not criticizing anything. I am specifically asking anyone who is willing to specifically and honestly answer the question as to how Obama “is way ahead and represents a change from the same old same old.”
How can you claim that Obama is doing anything other than a 51/49 strategy for this primary? Actually, what he has effectively done is created a 64/36 strategy for a general election that favors McCain. How is that for unification?
It’s getting old for folks to claim he will bring about change and a new kind of politics for Washington and then lack ANY kind of specifics as to how he intends to accomplish that.
His policies are very much aligned with Clinton’s so how is that change? He has shown how well he brings people together by that fact he is equally responsible for splitting the democratic vote roughly 50/50.

You are the reason why.. not out of spite. Obama can join his grandmother under the bus.

Thank you, ddpwoman. Whatever happens this year, the real winners are our children who are seeing that race and gender won’t hold back their dreams of running for president or accomplishing anything else they set their hearts and minds to.

PPP reports:
Barack Obama has taken the lead in Pennsylvania, a remarkable turnaround after trailing Hillary Clinton by 26 points in a PPP poll in the state just two and a half weeks ago.
Obama’s steep rise could be a reflection of a growing sense among Democratic voters that a continued divisive nomination process will hurt the party’s chances of defeating John McCain this fall. An Obama upset in Pennsylvania would be virtually certain to force Clinton out of the race.
Obama has his customary large advantage with black voters (75-17) and is keeping it relatively competitive with white voters (49-38)
He leads across all age groups except senior citizens and balances Clinton’s 10 point lead with women with his own 15 point lead with men.

It will still be sad for Richardson no matter who wins the primary, everybody knows now that he is not to be trusted.

Rasmussen today Clinton 50 Obama41 in pa
April 2

Alan,
Obama, like Judas Richardson, is fundamently flawed.

Greg, I really don’t care how many states a person wins I am saying if you would have counted FL and MI. people IMO would have thought this whole process was legitimate.

Liz: I think your logic is backwards. Now everyone knows that Richardson can be trusted.

Jayhawk: If putting your loyalty to your country over loyalty to your former boss’s wife is an example of “backstabbing” or of “lacking moral fiber,” then Richardson clearly is guilty. I’ve never been much of a Richardson fan, but his stock shot way up after he broke ranks and did what was RIGHT.

“It ended with him asking delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent”
Where are the Clinton people getting this 1 percent number from? I also recall seeing a Clinton surrogate mention it on CNN. CNN lists Obama at 1,626 delegates and Clinton at 1,486–that breaks down to 52% vs. 48%. Even if you take the margin of delegates and divide that by the total delegates (including unpledged supers and elected delegates), that’s still 140/4049 = 3%.
I know the Clintons have a complex relationship with the truth, so that might have something to do with it… Anyone else have any ideas on this?

I’d suspected Richardson would formally endorse Obama ever since the first contest when his Iowa caucus precinct captains guided Richardson’s voters over to Obama. What was amusing to me in Richardson’s recent oped was the way Gov. Richardson defended his loyalty to country. Carville called Richardson a “Judas”, which is a whole lot different than calling him a Benedict Arnold!

Hmmm?? Take another look. Dated today:
The Public Policy Polling group offers a stunning result: Barack Obama leading in Pennsylvania by 2. And it isn’t a poll of adults, or small sample size, either: “PPP surveyed 1224 likely Democratic primary voters on March 31st and April 1st. The survey’s margin of error is +/- 2.8%. Other factors, such as refusal to be interviewed nd weighting, may introduce additional error that is more difficult to quantify.”

Bill Richardson did what he thought was the right thing in making his endorsement. It’s exactly what he should have done: considered what he honestly thought was best for the country, regardless of the personalities. The reaction of James Carville and Bill Clinton speaks for itself. You can tell what kind of standards another Clinton administration would bring: either do what’s good for the Clintons personally or hit the road!

Bill Richardson should just own his decision to support Obama and leave it at that.
James Carville and his “ilk” are the reason Bill Clinton got elected and how Richardson got prestigious cabinet positions.
Namby pamby and too politically correct comes to mind whenever I hear Richardson’s name mentioned. Opportunistic also is right up there.
The revisionist history from Richardson is also interesting. Before he was bragging that he didn’t return calls to the Clintons for weeks, and now he claims that he was on vacation and didn’t know anyone was trying to reach him. Which story is it Bill?

Interesting that Richardson would complain because Carville is simply using the Obama/Dean/MoveOn playbook.
Regarding such,I hope the blog owner will allow me to correct a bit of misinformation regarding “the playbook”.
I have stated on here that I would not post anything that was not factual, when “the fact is’ I apparently did make a sub-conscious substitution. I have posted the book title: “Burning at the Grass Roots: Inside the Dean Machine” ridiculously posting my friend’s name as the author, as he “sullenly” informed me yesterday ( the names are the same except 1 letter)…..Going to cost me a bottle of “single-malt”. The correct name of the author is Dana Dunnan, not Duncan as I had posted at some earlier time. The site can be found at “Burning at the Grass Roots .com”. Can’t put a link on here.
Dunnan was part of the Dean/MoveOn movement (working the press, “spying”, posing in Kerry crowds, asking questions to “trip Kerry up”, such as one regarding Malcolm X (ironically). The author says Kerry would later, when asked by a child to name his heroes, first cite his supporter Max Cleland, then Christopher Reeves, and Mother Teresa, all for their inspiration to others in rising above their adversity. Then he states that as Kerry did so, he (Dunnan)was struck by how Kerry was describing Dunnan’s own vision of Malcolm X’s life. And intrigued that Kerry’s heroes were all white folk (authors term). He implies that he saw that as a “weak spot” for Kerry, and one to be expolited if he could do it in front of cameras and the right crowd. He goes on to aver that people asked him about civil rights and he waffled for minutes without answering. Dunnan says that politicians should always have a pat answer on civil rights in their head.. That Dean did!
Dunnan says his effort was aimed at getting Kerry to commit a gaffe of the magnitude of Dean’s Confederate flag controversy . Dunnan then laments that if he(Dunnan) had been black, surrounded by a black audience in South Carolina (certainly has a familiar ring, does it not), he would have fared differently in his effort to trip Kerry up. He says what Kerry did (re the Malcolm X question) was try to be another white guy talking about race- he just couldn’t figure out how to do it.
He talks in another chapter about how Wesley Clark (“a general threat”) had to be minimized.and states that given a chance to bird-dog Clark and work the media, the author (Dunnan) jumped all over it, and cultivated his own “press scrum”, to Clark’s consternation and detriment.
Among the many reflections, he points out how over-reliance on youth, as well as ignoring the wisdom of veterans doomed the Dean campaign, stating overconfidence of campaign workers often just out of college proved a factor in the campaign’s downfall. How the Dean campaign hit a wall after loss in NH., the kids from the Portsmouth office were told that they wouldn’t get paid anymore, and the emotional reverberations of the New Hampshire loss wreaked havoc on the campaign.
I find it very interesting that author points out that Dean claimed that he was the only white candidate talking about race, and that they planned to definitely capture the African-American, senior citizen, and the youth vote. The “Dean/MoveON/Obama machine has the majority of two of the three this time, but has for the most part driven away the third.
Dunnan apparently is still a part of the “machine”. He started the book by talking about finding a “Lincoln”(apparently Dean), then later talks about Kerry being compared to Lincoln stature wise, and has since added a “footnote” saying they have finally found their “Lincoln”, and “this time it is not a tall white man”. He held a book signing for Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign.
As I have stated before, I would never have imagined that a “far-left”, Rovian, type playbook existed until I found this book. If you just read the “chapter summaries” and the Kerry sample chapter, while mentally substituting Obama for Dean and Clinton for Kerry, you will be amazed at the mirror of the present primary. You will definitely wonder why Kerry and Theresa are “hooked up” with Obama considering their treatment by this “machine”, and hopefully ask yourself how Dean could so smoothly pass the MoveOn/Youth alliance to Obama, while at the same time heading the DNC. But you will have no trouble seeing “why”. The why is a desire to “root out the old party”, replacing it with “theirs”, establish a self-perpetuating “movement” that will equal the “far-right” in its desire to hold power indefininately, and a deep disdain for anything Clinton (which explained the viciouoness).
Read the summaries, the sample chapter, and explore the site. Buy the book if you can get it cheap enough that you don’t put too much money in their coffers. I bought my copy for 92cents new.

Rev. Wright’s James Cone says: “The time has come for white America to be silent and listen to black people.”
“All white men are responsible for white oppression. ”
“Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man ‘the devil.’”
OBAMA 08

Let me tell you about polls. Whom do you think takes most of these polls. The ones that are on the internet the most. That would be young adults, white professionals and college kids.
Your average working person whom is middle-aged(especially the working woman or the older woman ) doesn’t even use the computer that much.
Your blue collar workers: truck drivers, industrial workers, laborers, etc. ….they are probably never taking these polls, let alone being on the computer to even find these polls.
The polls are so inaccuarte it isn’t even funny.
The polls reflect only a few of the voters, and to be honest, probably not even Hillary’s base.

“they have finally found their “Lincoln”, and “this time it is not a tall white man”"

“There’s something special about this guy,” Mr. Richardson said of Mr. Obama. “I’ve been trying to figure it out, but it’s very good.”
I have been trying to figure out what obam’ message is for last six months. And it’s upsetting to me too that he gets endorsements based on his debating himself on almost every issue. The only consistent message of his is that he is running for president.

Obama folks certainly do have assured and certain mentalities. Facts or no facts. They tell us everyday that it “is all over”. Obama leads, math defeats HRC, etc.
However, given all their certainty, I wish one, just one, anyone of them. Would answer these questions:
Please tell me (or us, Clinton dummies) the exact formula by which Obama turns his lead into a win. Obama definitely has a lead, no doubt about it!
You folks are always talking about the “math” against HRC. Please be good enough to tell us the equation by which Obama wins. I have no doubt you know, and are just keeping it a secret. Right?
Right now it seems that the only sure way would be for Hillary to “quit”, which you are all calling for to do to “save” Obama. Yet she is not going to do quit!
I thought Obama was the Democratic “savior”, why should he even need help?
Then all you Obama folks claim Obama won Texas caucuses. If he did we out here in Texas do not know that either. Maybe y’all actually mean “he has been projected” to win the Texas caucus votes by about 7.
Actually the caucus stuff “ain’t over yet”, will not be decided until June. JUNE, that is when the Texas Democratic convention convenes in Austin. Until then all is one more case of “speculation”.
Texas results will be decided then, and until then Obama has won nothing re Texas. Only HRC has, she won the popular vote, the only vote that is “official”, so far!
Until any one of you, or the BHO campaign, “produce” the formula for how Obama actually wins, then all of your bravdo is merely speculation and wishful thinking.

Hey, the simple fact is, Obama is 100 times a better candidate than Hillary the Liar and McCain the Moron. If you like Hillary, go vote for her. No one cares!!!

Team Clinton is going to be remembered for variations on a single line:
“Imagine what the reaction would be if Obama….”
It’s always the reverse-racism line. Always.

“Governor Richardson did indeed promise Clinton his endorsement until Obama promised him a post in his cabinet”
That just doesnt make since considering Richardson was already a 2-time cabinet member for the Clinton administration and a friend of the family. Almost a shoe-in if you ask me.
Worst case I see him as simply jumping on the bandwagon of the person he sees winning before its too late.

In 1968, the Democratic convention produced a presidential candidate that had not campaigned for the nomination.
In 2008, the Democratic convention will do the same.
Albert Gore…he’s coming!

Those of you complaining about what Carville told the media and what Bill told super-delegates, are really ignorant. I guess that’s why you’re not political strategists.
Look at the effect.
1. Richardson took a week off campaigning for Obama.
2. He’s now doing damage control instead of talking about Obama.
3. He’s damaged goods either way. He either lied or betrayed his longtime friends. Lose-Lose situation.
He’s smart enough to know what his endorsement meant and now he has to pay the political price. Pure genius, imo, by Carville and Bill.
