RICHARDSON'S ENDORSEMENT: Perhaps too late but still doesn't hurt

In the seemingly never-ending game of War between the candidates, Obama has played a winning card with an endorsement from New Mexico's Governor Bill Richardson. While Obama has won this round, to the Clinton campaign's point, it would have been much more helpful earlier in the race when there was more at stake- particularly with the hispanic vote, a group that put Clinton over the top in Texas's primary. It is also worth noting that Richardson is a superdelegate and may encourage others to break on his side. With such slim margins and Clinton rising in the polls in North Carolina, it is too early to tell whether he will be the pebble that starts an avalanche. I will say this: Getting out of the presidential race agrees with the governor. The man looks good. He looks Tony Robbins good.
