News today is that New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is going to appear today with Barack Obama and compare NCAA brackets and, oh yeah, endorse Obama!!!
Hooray! If I'd known that all I had to do was ask, I would have asked weeks ago!
This is very good for two reasons, one of course is that Bill Richardson puts himself in the #1 position to be Obama's Vice Presidential candidate. The other is that Hillary is nearly officially done. Richardson's endorsement is her campaign's death knell. She and Bill recognize how important it is and we can hope they will see it as the writing on the wall.
In related news, John Edwards pussed out and didn't endorse anyone. He's obviously angling for a spot in either administration.
Video of John's appearance on Jay Leno last night where he was still very entertaining:
It's time for John Edwards, Bill Richardson and Al Gore to Endorse
It's time.
Barack Obama has shown he has the judgment to be President of the United States.
He has shown that he is Presidential.
He has shown that he is electable.
He has shown that he can both write and deliver an incredibly detailed, difficult, timely speech on race and family in America.
It is time for John Edwards to stop angling for a cabinet post in either administration and go with his heart and mind.
It is time for Bill Richardson to say to hell with the Clinton's negativity and corporatism and go with his heart and mind.
It is time for Al Gore to heal the Democratic Party and set out a clear endorsement of Senator Obama's qualifications and stand behind him for the bruising race to November.
Hillary Clinton does not have any path to the nomination through primaries, or even a way to have a lead after the primaries. She must rely on undemocratic superdelegates to overturn the will of the people. 700,000 more people have voted in primaries for Obama.
The discussion of re-doing Florida and Michigan primaries is over. The delegates should be split evenly between the 2 candidates and seated.
John Edwards can get the ball rolling tonight with an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Come on Senator Edwards, if you, the Governor and Vice President endorse Obama, this low point can be over because Hillary will have no choice but to drop out as superdelegates see the writing on the wall and endorse Obama in droves.
