Obama’s unique moral ability to inspire the American people to confront our urgent challenges at home and abroad in a spirit of bipartisanship and reconciliation.”

But this a pretty big endorsement, and it probably solidifies the theory that Richardson will be the nominee for VP.
March 21, 200818 yr This should get Obama a few hundred more votes.:lol: I don't think that endorsements of the presumptive nominee at this point in the game do much for either the endorsee or the endorser.
March 21, 200818 yr Does this endorsement have any thing to do with the recent problems Sen. Obama is experiencing?
March 21, 200818 yr Does this endorsement have any thing to do with the recent problems Sen. Obama is experiencing? Why would Richardson's endorsement have caused Senator O'Bama's recent problems? Gov. Richardson may have decided that this was a good time to make his endorsement as one way to change the subject. I don't think that his endorsement will be a big factor in coming primaries but I'm sure it was welcome news.
March 21, 200818 yr Gov. Richardson would be my first choice for a VP followed closely by Gen. Wesley Clark.

I didn't mean to imply that his endorsement caused the recent problems; rather in light of Sen. Obama's recent problems caused by Wright, I was wondering if Richardson felt he needed to assist Sen. Obama's campaign (via the endorsement) at this point in time. Then again, maybe the timing was coincidental. Sorry for the confusion. My post was poorly written. Too many things going on. :thumb:

I only feel safe teasing people that write better than I do.
March 21, 200818 yr I, myself, wouldn't be too excited about Richardson's endorsement. I am not to impressed with him at all.
March 22, 200818 yr I wonder what both sides were offering him for his endoresment? Cabinet position? Secretary of State? VP?
March 22, 200818 yr http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/21/us/politics/21cnd-endorse.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&adxnnlx=1206102091-bpVLefFiscPH1kmh5kKX0w I cannot see how he can unite the country. He has some great speechs and slogans. Yet being the most liberal senator in the US Seate there is no way he can get everyone behind him. He supports big government and there are too many in this country who want less government, At this point and time I would be happy with just no new federal programs.
March 22, 200818 yr I wonder what both sides were offering him for his endoresment? Cabinet position? Secretary of State? VP? Probably something big like Secretary of State. He was on TV this morning and when asked why he was going with Obama one of the things that he said swayed him was the speech that Obama gave. I really don't want to quote anyone but.....words are words but actions mean more. I really think that there are a lot of people walking around with stars in their eyes over Obama and his words.
March 22, 200818 yr Words inspire. Without words, there is no support for change. MLK Jr. had words. JFK had words. They both inspired and were able to get people to rally behind them because of their words. In the end, until one of the candidates gets elected, not one of them have anything but words.
March 22, 200818 yr I, myself, wouldn't be too excited about Richardson's endorsement. I am not to impressed with him at all. How can you not be impressed with Richardson? He may not be charismatic and you may not like his policies, but his story is very impressive.
March 22, 200818 yr How can you not be impressed with Richardson? He may not be charismatic and you may not like his policies, but his story is very impressive. I'd vote for Richardson before I'd vote for either of the two Dems still in it.
