Si nos quedemos juntos vamos a ganar? Si!

I'm sure this made Bill Clinton's head explode:

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, the nation's only Hispanic governor, is endorsing Sen. Barack Obama for president, calling him a "once-in-a-lifetime leader" who can unite the nation and restore America's international leadership.

Richardson, who dropped out of the Democratic race in January, is to appear with Obama on Friday at a campaign event in Portland, Ore., The Associated Press has learned.

The governor's endorsement comes as Obama leads among delegates selected at primaries and caucuses but with national public opinion polling showing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton pulling ahead of him amid controversy over statements by his former pastor.

Richardson has been relentlessly wooed by Obama and Clinton for his endorsement. As a Democratic superdelegate, the governor plays a part in the tight race for nominating votes and could bring other superdelegates to Obama's side. He also has been mentioned as a potential running mate for either candidate.

Richardson was the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Secretary of Energy during the Clinton Administration.

I thought Obama's stand on super delegates is that they should reflect the will of the people?

And Hillary thought they should do what's in the best interest of the country.

Didn't Billary win New Mexico?

Guess Richardson is ignoring Obama and taking his queues from Los Clintons.

Richardson's a big boy. I'm sure he's capable of making up his own mind. And politicians running for office aren't fishing in those stocked waters where anglers throw 'em back; they'll keep all the fish they can reel in.

Big? That's an understatement. Drum roll, cymbal crash!

Just didn't see the ironic humor there did ya? Richard does what Obama says he shouldn't and wins. Richardson does what Billary says he should do and loses. Maybe it's just me.

Irony? Is that a steel town?
