Gov. Richardson endorses Obama
I don't have much to say on this that hasn't been spewed through the tubes already, so I'll just link and quote.
So Mark Penn said earlier today that Bill Richardson's endorsement was no longer "significant.""The time that he could have been effective has long since passed," he said.
Long since? Actually, it must have passed awfully fast.
Bill and Hillary both called Richardson to ask for his endorsement March 13 — eight days ago, according to a source familiar with the conversations. -- Ben Smith, via Political Wire
Actually, I consider that this ends [the race for the Democratic nomination] in a way.Not because of the influence of Richardson's endorsement but because he wouldn't be risking this unless he knew that Obama was the nominee. And, as an insider, he's in a position to know the mind of the people who will decide this.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is part of a coordinated move that has wide involvement. -- DirkVA, commenting at TPM
Richardson becomes the second 2008 presidential contender to endorse Obama, following Sen. Dodd of CT. Sen. Clinton has yet to be endorsed by a former candidate. -- Fly Funky Diva
