I found that the majority of posters found that Bill Richardson's endorsement of Obama made no difference, in fact, it seemed to stir up quite a bit of animosity.

If you visit other political boards you'll find a lot of opposition to Obama. People haven't forgotten the dear Rev. Wright and his anti-white American statements or Obama's statements about his grandmother.

1. I thought he was a disloyal backstabber. Wonder what Obama

promised him?

2. Gee I'm Hispanic and I don't run and do what Bill

tells me to do because he is also Hispanic. I can make my own informed decisions.

Bill Richardson does not have as much clout with the Latino vote as desperate people want to believe.

3. his loyalty speaks for itself

the clintons have bent over backward to help this man get to where he is.....i'm sure that knife in hillary's back will remind her not to turn her back on him ever again.

4. I'm guessing that Obama will give him nothing. I think he may have

tried to pressure Hillary into giving him a position, maybe Veep, and when she wouldn't promise anything, he went to Obama for free. Well, he gets a few hours of air time for it. That'll be it for him.

This is just my opinion based on my not seeing him as that important to either of them.

I would not have been so disgusted with him if he hadn't shared about the "heated conversation." Kennedy did it, and I read today that Dodd did it. All of them to help Obama smear Hillary with the bitch meme.

5. Richardson only confirmed that he is a wishy-washy opportunist

with absolutely no class. Snake

6. He was shameless in his comments, attitude. In pictures, they look like giggling schoolboys.
