New York Times: Looks at the in depth effect of Richardson supporting Obama. I was thinking, Obama - Richardson would not be a bad ticket. But my hard political instinct comes to mind, how many firsts can the USA voters take, an African - American on the top of the ticket and and a Hispanic for Vice - President. Richardson has the experience of Foreign Affairs, also executive experience as he is is a Governor. Also he is good on the old box, also has no problem with appearing on Fox News. This just might be a Ticket to kick the USA up the backside, has some appeal.

The Politics of the Richardson Support
CNN: Looks at the impact of the endorsement of Obama by Richardson. Two main factors, the Governor is a Super Delegate and also Hispanic. Hispanic voters is one of the foundations of the Clinton Camp, look at Texas and Nevada. If Obama can take the Hispanic vote, it will be over for Clinton. But lets not lose our heads, the Clintons have been in political and legal trouble before and come out smelling of roses, still a chance, its Bill and Hillary Clinton who are in this Presidential Race.
The Real World
The Politico: Reports on the Democratic Race, how the Clinton Camp in their heart of hearts know its over, but how they and the press need it to go on, for their own self interest. In the Clinton Camp Bill Clinton needs this or it will always be impeachment, while the press love a race. Must Read of the Day.
Obama Endorsed By Richardson
BBC News: Good news for Senator Obama, the Governor of New Mexico has endorsed him for President. Thus he gets another Super Delegate and makes the route harder for Hillary Clinton. Also the endorsement is a smack in the face to the Clintons, Richardson was in the Clinton Cabinet.
