BREAKING: Bill Richardson Endorses Barack Obama
By Logan Murphy Thursday Mar 20, 2008 8:59amNew Mexico - 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. Read on...
Richardson is the second former Democratic presidential candidate to endorse Senator Obama. This could help him with hispanic voters and perhaps sway some of Richardson's supporters to the Obama campaign. There is some debate about endorsements and their true impact on an election. Richardson's endorsement certainly doesn't hurt Obama, but does it make a real impact?

Doesn't anyone else want to be first?!
Maybe when the public is aware of the photos showing Rev. Wright shaking hands with Bill Clinton, they'll think twice before they choose her over Obama.
It might have helped in Texas iF it came a month ago.
Stick a fork in her. She's done and the sooner she leaves the race the sooner the dems can focus on McCain instead of eating their own.

LMAO
Keep shoveling, there must be a pony in there somewhere
And the neutral to anti-Obama posts continue.
Bill doesn't need to stand next to BO a lot. Just makes him look worse in comparison.
But Billy was one of the top 3 dudes running for prez.
Why is the day Jesus was murdered by the Roman Politicos and Corporates called "Good Friday".
Seems kind of weird
Just because Richardson likes Bill doesn't mean he has to like Hillary.
OUCH!!!!
That's gotta hurt. Richardson has experienced being slung under the bus by the Clintons. Now if John Edwards and Al Gore endorse, tell the Fat Lady she has five minutes to get on stage and start singing... ;-)
I think this could have a very real positive impact for Barack. Bill Richardson is one of the highest-ranking Hispanics in the US, and has to have high standing within the Hispanic community.
Richardson’s endorsement certainly doesn’t hurt Obama, but does it make a real impact?
I don't trust ANY of them at this point. If these politicians were the answer the world war and destruction would have been abolished a long time ago.
myiq2xu @ 3:
No kidding, why the delay I wonder.
Richardson is looking for some lofty appointment. He ain't fooling me none!
I've always liked Bill Richardson.....to be honest,he has more foreign policy experience than any of them.cept for maybe Joe Biden.
well gotta go,off to work.have a nice one folks.
I mean face the facts Politicians have been promising this and that since July 4, 1776 and look where we are today.

Look a little further. He's a great diplomat and he's got a lot of common sense. BTW, if the repugnant party implodes, it will be by their own hand.
L.A. Confidential @ 16:
Politicians, used car salespeople, snake oil salespeople..........all basically the same......find something that is popular to say, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat, and repeat..........
The very worst part is, people all get up in arms supporting their "fav" candidate, and then talk about them like they are the saviour, or worse yet, someone they know deep down and personally. Never changes. Everybody HOPES this time will be different. This time.
L.A. Confidential @ 16:
Example:
American Dream
Perception: Members of Congress studiously consider all aspects and ramifications of pending legislation then vote just a shade on the conservative side, adhering to the fine principles of the Framers of the Constitution.
Reality: Members hold up both sides of most issues, see where they can get the most money in campaign contributions, voters, and then vote in a manner they hope will maximize their personal power and wealth.
L.A. Confidential @ 16:
Look at where we were 30-50years ago and look at where are today.
L.A. Confidential @ 20:
AFTER being lobbied and wined, dined and donated to. Yep. You nailed it.
Excellent! We have a VP. Obama-Richardson, so much for the Clinton-McCain experience card. Now, the next shoe to drop....Edwards. The next Attorney General of the United States. Who better to untangle the Bush mess...and Obamas first choice for Supreme Court. Well Hill ...you and Bill are looking at the end of the road. Go back to the Senate ...maybe the new Majority Leader Chris Dodd will put you on a committee or something.
L.A. Confidential @ 20:
So, your message is nothing ever changes and nothing ever will? Skepticism is understandable, but cynicism, by definition, is not logical.
Ron @ 21:
No comparison. Even 30-50 years ago, every nation was expanding economically. You can only expand so long.
My dad when he got a little older than I am now, always remembered the good things in his life at certain points, but never remembered the bad. "I remember when bread was 5 cents a loaf" And failed to remember how long and hard he had to work for that 5 cents.
Isome Hussein @ 2:
yes and i hear he sat in the pew for over twenty years and listened to his racist rethoric ....... wow your so right they comparison to Obama is stricking....lol
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 22:
"Presidential candidates pull in $790-million" so far. Which I suppose gets us back to how the law-buying process really works in America under corporate rule, formerly Constitutional rule.
[deleted - over the top and flamebaiting.]
All well and good to get the endorsement but the Gallup does worry me. It looks like McCain and/or Clinton and/or the MSM have finally been able to tar Obama with the "black" brush. What I'm hoping is that _next_ week there will be a backlash of the backlash and America will be angry at McCain and/or Clinton and/or the MSM for ruining our feel-good buzz and bringing race back into the game at all.
[refers to deleted post. sitemonitor]
If you are going to flame, at least spell correctly please. It's "closet" not closest
Richardson should be the nom- he and we were robbed.
The man can broker more peace deals than anyone around.
I think he will be the VP choice. Two non white men in the white house what a thought.
L.A. Confidential @ 27:
McCain needs some help. He only has 8 million and is 4 million in debt. Explains the media ignoring him basically, except for non-stories.
robyn williams @ 26:
Sorry, that one doesn't work on me b/c I agree w/EVERYTHING Rev. Wright said.
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 25:
Yes and now days you can just swipe that credit card at 32 Percent interest, get the loaf of bread and live the good life.
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 25:
Yeah, and many of the companies offered benefits like health care.
[refers to deleted post. sitemonitor]
Marge, where are all of Hillary's female endorsements? If everything in the world is a man's fault (and hey it isn't a stretch to basically say that), why have all the female politicos not endorsed her already? Your man vs female analogy doesn't seem to resonate well with posters. Maybe you should join the She Woman Man Haters Club? ;-)
No Republicans ...
George Bush, the US president, and the neo-conservatives claimed that Iraq under Saddam Hussein, the executed former president, possessed weapons of mass destruction.
They also insisted Iraqi officials and security services maintained contacts with al-Qaeda and committed numerous human rights violations.
But the real reason for the US invasion and occupation of Iraq, as cited by Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve chairman, was to secure and control Iraq's oil.
The actions of the US government under the Bush administration have resulted in genocide; their greed to steal Iraq's oil has led to the country's destruction.
Here is the news from another perspective.
Isome Hussein @ 33:
wow again i'm so shocked lol
Please view this, I hope some of the larger blogs will start posting this as well. If you listen to Wrights sermon you will understand the context of the sound bites. What is saying is that God never changes, he is always for the same things, equality and peace. Governments change, sometimes for the good sometimes for the bad. Therefore God will not simply bless a country, it will judge it by its actions. God is the same God now as he was back in the 1800's, therefore he would not bless America, no, he would damn America for its immoral behavior. CONTEXT. Now is this sound bite still "Radical"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvMbeVQj6Lw
robyn williams @ 38:
I'm sure you, and those like you, are still shocked by the many things you do not know about others.
Enjoy the adrenaline rush of all that shock!
Ron @ 35:
Benefits 30-50 years ago? Basically unheard of where I live. Unions were just starting to actually get some of those into contracts here Ron. Now unfortunately, they barely get wage increases into the contracts. My company has few benefits except you have a job that pays decent.
Ron @ 35:
You don't even get a wrist watch and a "40 Years service" certificate anymore these days.
The Clinton spin machine is in full force on this one today. It's no big deal according to them despite the fact that they've been fiercely pursuing Bill Richardson's endorsement for months. I personally think this one is huge, not in terms of the impact it may have on voters, but in terms of the potential impact on Supers.
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 36:
Hahahaha..........SiteMonitor, yer fast today! Happy Two Days Before Chocolate Hives Day!!!
Hey, Just woke up. This is off topic, but msnbc is running with the passport issue, but CNN is avoiding it. What gives?
Dave @ 39:
Good link Dave. I watched the full video and not just the soundbites taken out of it. If you view the whole thing, you understand it was just a sermon. Nothing more.
L.A. Confidential @ 42:
My Uncle got one. They had a little party for his Dept, coffee and donuts, gave him a watch and certificate.
About a month later he was thinking, "I gave these guys 40 years of my life and I get a watch and a piece of paper?"
Isome Hussein @ 40:
what does " you and those like you" mean ..... what aren't we all Democrats
L.A. Confidential @ 8:
"Good" imho because it's Day 2 of the NCAA bb tourney.
Robert H. Graham @ 28:
But I got it right!!!!
Rico @ 43:
You sure it's the Clinton spin machine? Or the NWO Foxy Media convincing you it is the Clinton Spin Machine?
L.A. Confidential @ 47:
Guess I am fortunate. My company gives a nice leather jacket after 5 years, gold watch after 10, nice cheque if you make it to 15.........then basically a shove out the door cuz yer too damn old. LOL.
Polls indicate that McCain is soaring against Obama and/or Clinton. So, what difference does this make anyway.
Moreover, Richardson is simply a loser in terms of appearance, telegenics, and comes across (fairly or not) as a wimp.
And finally, since his name is Richardson, I don't think he'll get that much out of the hispanic community.
Anyway, is Richardson (as an hispanic) a "typical white person" per Barak Obama's statement yesterday?
P.D. @ 45:
CNN remains focused on race, Wright, and Obama's grandmother. Apparently that draws in more viewers and drawing in viewers is what it's all about.
robyn williams @ 48:
You don't know what "and those like you" means? Have you lost your ability to comprehend written English suddenly? Oh' I get it! This one of those instances where your emotionalism overtakes your ability to reason, like with Rev. Wright.
Okay, I'll help you, today. People who are shocked by the truth are those who are like you. I hope you're still enjoying the adrenaline rush.
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 13:
I'm sure the Clinton's minions exploiting the Rev Wright dust up and inflaming racial tensions in an attempt to manipulate the super delegates had nothing to do with it. You'd think they would learn. Shortly after the SC Primary, Obama got the Kennedy's.
Rico, the passport issue is an overblown nothing of an issue. It will get no real traction. (Obama's camp is trying to milk this -- but its obvious it's a nothing.)
Anyway, what's the big deal tracking what countries a presidential nominee has visited?
Dave @ 39:
Hi Dave,
How can we get the media to admitt they didn't do their homework before running with this?
They owe it to the people they are responsible for informing.
We are trying to make one of the most important choices in the world today and this is the way the media treats us???
Now a large group who believe what they here on TV is credible information are deliberatley MISINFORMED!
Enough about a passport... lets DEMAND this REv. story be CLEARED up.
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 52:
Yes indeed constant re-training is the key in todays competitive world. From Crisp University Degree to sweeping floors or flipping burgers in the blink of an eye.
Rico, Nothing is more scary than Heidi Collins giving me the news! Jesus, the amount of time they are spending on 'Barack's grandmother' is pathetic! What about McCain's mistatements. Are the American people that stupid?
Ted @ 53:
Who is home these days to answer these polling questions? Senior citizens. They don't call cell numbers.
L.A. Confidential @ 51:
I'm certain. I'll search her name and report back, but a female, Hispanic, pro-Clinton pundit for Hillary said on CNN this morning that "most Hispanics don't even know Richardson is of hispanic heritage. This endorsement won't make a difference in the Hispanic community." Sounds like spin if not outright dissing of Richardson to me.
Bottom line, the main stream media and the Democrats took a big gamble on promoting Obama (while giving him a free ride).
And now, the chickens are coming home to roost -- big time!
Ted @ 57:
Spoken like a good little brown shirt.
midwestvoter, are you trying to tell me that Obama is gaining -- or not losing support -- among moderates, working class whites, etc., etc.
Please get real. The Dems have blown this election cycle big time, and I'm pissssed as hell!
L.A. Confidential @ 59:
Yep, exactly. Broken down? Bye. So far I think I'm counting the days or just lucky the economy here isn't dead yet.
midwestvoter, wouldn't you want to know if a Presidential nominee visited Lybia, for instance.
P.D. @ 45:
Not Joe Scarborough...he hammers and hammers Obama on that comment. That is all he talks about! He claims to be inspired by Obama but then hammers him over something that doesn't seem to be that big of a deal?
Wow Ted, Your negative vibes are bringing me down.
Already at 7 a.m. Portlanders were lining the streets to see Obama. I'm so happy Richardson is endorsing him here because if the media dares to cover it, Oregon is going to give Obama one hell of a good reception.
Rico @ 62:
Thats okay don't bother.
Ted @ 53:
The election is in November dope. And if you would listen to Obama's entire explanation instead of a tiny segment that supports your bullshit argument, you may(if you could look past your blinding hatred) see his point. The simply fact is that there is nothing in Obama's public life that would suggest that he is a bigot. You people are so pathetically desperate.
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 46:
P.D. sorry, but the truth hurts -- and we must face the facts if we have any chance of doing anything about this (albeit I can't see what we can do).
I think if Obama doesn't beat Hillary to this because of these things that have been following him, it will be one of those 'aha' moments on the general electorate's thinking, i.e. they allow themselves to be led astray by irrelevant stuff like Rev Wright's comments.
Just because Obama knows someone who doesn't say the right stuff doesn't make Obama a bad guy.
Apart from casting the vote, all I can do right now is pray that Obama will be the next President, or all is lost.
I was a Governor Richardson supporter before he decided to leave the race after Iowa. I think he would have made a great President, if only the media had given him some airtime and not treated him as a back-bencher.
With that said, I am a bit surprised that Governor Richardson endorsed Senator Obama and a little saddened. I really though that Governor Richardson would endorse the person best for our country, Senator Clinton, but not everything that I wish for will come true.
In the end though, I don't think Governor Richardson's endorsement will mean much to Senator Obama's campaign except that maybe Senator Obama is thinking Governor Richardson for Vice-President, which would be a good choice.
No matter the candidate, Governor Richardson is looking to be either named Secretary of State by a President Clinton or Vice-Presidential candidate for Senator Obama.
but the media says Obama's support is shrinking?!?!? They also tell me McCain is a maverick.
What's the Stock Market doing today? The finacial Channel is running a segment on Tabasco sauce, Go figure?
(intense sarcasm) Obama 2008
Ted @ 57:
I don't think it's a big issue. I said in a different issue yesterday that my guess is that it was simple browsing by low level employees and contractors, but time will tell. The real scandal is how long it took the government to report the violation to the victim.
As far as tracking what countries a presidential nominee has visited, no problem at all. Why not simply ask him? I suspect he'd gladly volunteer the information.
Governor Richardson endorses Barack Obama
After a week from hell, Barack Obama has pulled off a great coup. Bill Richardson, the Governor of New Mexico a super delegate and a former Presidential candidate has endorsed Senator Obama. Richardson, a Latino and a former Secretary of Energy in Bill Clinton's Administration said he is endorsing Obama to unite the party and hopefully put an end to divisiveness. This speaks volumes for Richardson for endorsing a candidate who was being beaten up by the media and right wing conservatives. To take a stand under these circumstances is courageous and admirable.
This is also a major blow to Senator Hillary Clinton as Bill Richardson was considered close to Clintons and Hillary was wooing for his endorsement. Is this going to be the start of a major move by super delegates to throw their lot in with the front runner? We have to wait and see. But if it is, this may be the beginning of the end for Hillary Clinton.
Left & Left, yes the election IS in November -- but it seems its only going to get worse and worse for Obama between now and then.
Especially with yesterday's "typical white person" comment.
Ted @ 57:
OMG!! It's called invasion of privacy! Now everyone knows you're stupid.
Let me repeat myself:
Go Obama 2008
Mccain is a maverick (sarcasm)
Teleken @ 31:
Yeah he does have a shit-ton of overseas experience, and I like the man too, seems like a decent sort.
And whoa!! Two non-whites in the white house! Next thing ya know dogs and cats will be living together, lol!
seele @ 77:
The 1984 Media said yesterday, Hillary Rodham Clinton has doubled her lead in Pennsylvania and now has a majority of Democrats’ support, according to a new poll out today.
Up Down Up Down Up Down Up Down Up Down
Ever get the feeling that Big Brother is trying to confuse the hell out of people?
Ajaz, what good is this great Obama Richardson coup, when the Dems are going down to defeat in November anyway.
And unfortunately I just saw my first bumper sticker that said:
"God Damn America - Obama '08"
P.D. @ 78:
Wall Streets Temple of Commerce of the Money Changers is closed today.
Good Friday
Left&Left @ 72:
Nor Rev. Wrights. Listen to the context and the fact that some of the most "controversial" comments they keep playing endlessly is a QUOTE from a FOX NEWS contributor about OUR policies and our chickens comming home to roost!
Before I get attacked(as I do frequently on this site for asking or pointing things out) I will not be posting links to support what I say.
Look it up YOUR OWN SELF so you can stop the media from making fools out of you.
Ted, where the hell do you live? Nobody in my area would ever have a bumper sticker like that! Do you live in redneckville or what?
Dave @ 39:
Thanks for that clip. Been looking for more of Wrights sermons and articles and it seems they are popping up now. God bless Youtube. God damn MSM!
Smarmy @ 14:
I'm pretty sure at this point, no one will be surprised... I'm actually surprised that some don't think he'll get some appointment. Richardson would make a pretty good secretary of state, or head up the Department of Energy.
Because there's a policy that says you can't look at someone's file on a whilm... which is what these three individuals have done. If they disclosed that information... it becomes a federal offense.
Ted @ 65:
Ted, this is March, so chill out. Had this Rev Wright manufactured smear job come out in Oct, then you'd have cause to worry. The video of the full sermon IN CONTEXT is just starting to get circulated (I suggest to view it). One thing the American people understand now is they have been lied to and duped by our media, thus 8 years of economic and foreign policy ruin. There are less people out there that take their propaganda whole anymore. There is no contest between McWar ("I don't know much about economics") McCain and Obama and once America gets to see these two men side by side, it's all over. Now go enjoy your weekend and quit worrying.
Phoenix Justice @ 76:
I was an early supporter of Richardson as well. I suspect his endorsement today is not so much about political opportunity for himself. I trust that Richardson based his judgement the character of the two remaining candidates. Could it be that his decision is as simple and honorable as that?
midwestvoter @ 61:
I say again...polls schmolls...
LA, You mean our Wall Street bretheren actually observe religious holiday's? I guess even the fleecing of the minions needs a break now and then.
If this election had really been about who has the most experience, Richardson would be the nominee.
seele @ 79:
(extremely intense sarcasm)Insightful and Intelligent. McCain 08(if natural causes don't catch up with him)
Ted @ 67:
Wow, I'll give you some points, that's some interesting justification for breaking the law.
Ted @ 74:
Fact, if you got behind the frontrunner, you wouldn't have such negative opinions.
You can practically see the WASP Mafia's heads exploding just thinking about it! :D
P.D. @ 97:
You don't expect them to give up their yachting excursions do you?
midwestvoter @ 100:
I give him points for making up a fictitious country, and then suggesting that we should want to know if someone visited it.
Al Gore and John Edwards and the majority of the superdelegates need to some on out and support Obama and end this HRC thing before she totally destroys the Democratic Party. She is well on her way.
keep talking about Jeremiah.....that is what the media wants ya to do so they can keep the fires stoked so they can keep numbers up and advertisers spending jack, jack! keep talking about Jeremiah, Hillary and John/Joe/RNC want ya too for obvious reasons. Lets talk about crazy preachers, but lets include em all, Hagee, guess we cant speak ill of the dead and talk about Falwell who said pretty much the same thing after 9-11, but weeee can talk about Hagee and the whore church in Rome....after all that is a helluva lot more important than Iraq, healthcare, the economy. Sure thing. No even better...did you know two chances to see Dancing with the Stars next week and remember we are at ten on Idol and next week we get to vote.
Ted, You work for Rush?
Rusty Keating Five Shackleford @ 104:
I think he meant the nation of Labia.
Ted @ 88:
You must really mean "God Damn America-Bush/Cheney 2000-2008".
What's sad is Richardson and Obama are just business as usual. Richardson said in an interview he didn't believe in politicians endorsing other politicians. So much for believing him. Richardson couldn't get above 5% in the primaries, so based on name recognition, I would say this won't do much for Obama. Hispanics may see him as a traitor, especially if he suggests delegates go against the will of NM voters. Kennedy and Kerry endorsed Obama and he couldn't carry Massachusetts, so I am really not sure how effective these endorsements can be.
Obama is tap dancing around his "my grandmother is a typical white woman" comment today. He is not making any points with the white electorate.
midwestvoter @ 94:
The same cheerleaders and apolagists who beat the shit out of the war drums leading up to the war!
The same who insist ties between Iraq and 9-11,Iraq and al-qaeda,Iraq and weapons of mass destruction
The same who lie to us to manipulate us and our elections and falsely inform us on almost every serious topic you can think of!
Please E-mail MSM and DEMAND they correct this wreckless destructive SMEAR and set the record straight!
larry, I was thinking the same thing. . .
P.D. @ 97:
Yes they snort a few lines and head to Vegas for the weekend.
Prediction: Edwards endorses prior to Penn....NC at the latest. (Obama will carry NC with or without John.) Gore comes in if Clinton doesn't cash out after Pa because the big numbers will not materialize. It will not be as big a win as missy thinks. NC is the end for Clinton one way or the other.
Obama/Richardson 08
Edwards AG
Gore to the UN
Rusty Keating Five Shackleford @ 104:
You're pretty generous, but since FOX has already cornered the market on making shit up and asking foolish questions, we will need to deduct for originality. Sorry Ted.

And like Mr. T said I pity the poor fool who inherits this mess.
PssttCmere @ 110:
If Richardson had endorsed Hillary or McCain you would be at this site licking his Mexican ass. Sorry ass hypocrite.
Obama could do a lot worse than choosing Richardson as a running mate. I'd expect some kind of position for Bill Richardson in an Obama administration.
Left&Left @ 109:
I think Cheney prefers "Fuck America". Just saying...
Larry, I live in Pennsylvannia. When I read all the negative posts about the Democrats damaging themselves I laugh. There is an fevor among the voters. And while Ted and others spout out hopeless it is, I will tell you it is quite exciting!
midwestvoter @ 119:
Cheney's new catchphrase is "So?"
Geez folks. So much cynicism on the board! Richardson is great, and was, I think, the most qualified of the early candidates. I supported him early on and am very happy about his endorsement. The combination of Obama/Richardson would give the ticket a very nice combination of charisma and experience.
L.A. Confidential @ 116:
Exactly- first PA is a closed primary, meaning ditto heads can't have any fun at this one.
And you're spot on about inheriting this mess. We will have a lot of painful clean up to do as a nation and our President is going to have to sell the sacrifices necessary to the entire nation. Obama has already demonstrated after his remarkable speech on race that he can tackle extremely tough issues head on and speak to our higher angels. Can you imagine Hillary inspiring Republicans and the majority of Independents to do shit? Never. Ever. Period.
I think we all need to take a break from MSM. They certainly know how to keep a Progressive down.
SteamRanger @ 118:
I would hope so. Maybe Richardson can be in charge of spying on all the Bush Hold overs in government that will be around doing damage control.
Obama is using the passport crap to overshadow his religious mentor. Sorry ass lgambit!
ConcernedHusseinCanuck @ 108:
Is "Ted" really Bill O?!
midwestvoter @ 123:
To be honest I think what Obama is going to face as President is going to make the Clinton witch hunt of the 90's look tame in comparison.

As I understand it, it refers to the good that comes from it. In other words, according to Christians, if Christ hadn't died in such a way, then he wouldn't have "died for our sins," and there would be no way to get to heaven, because only through Christ and his shed blood (which is symbolized in communion) can Christians pass into heaven.
That's a bit simplistic and generalized (not all denominations call it "communion," for instance), but it's basically the case, as I see it.
In other parts of the world, it's not always called "good," though.

If time is all thats lost do it anyway. Please?
The "same old folks doing the same old things" to quote Obama are ONCE AGAIN lining up behind him.
The Dodd, Rockerfellas, Kennedy, Durbin to name a few. So much for the so called CHANGE he represents.
Talk is cheap.
Richardson endorses Obama. SO WHAT?
Let us not FOOL ourselves HERE. IF this GUY REALLY had ANY CLOUT IN THE LATINO COMMUNITY HE WOULD HAVE ENDORSED BEFORE TEXAS.
I think CAN tell you HIS endorsement is OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
larry @ 106:
and in other news, McCain has committed a Federal crime by violating the spending cap on his public financing, punishable up to 5 years in prison. I'm sure the MSM will be all over it shortly.

Isome Hussein @ 33:
Also, all he did was make speeches, right? Don't the Obama haters always sneer that words don't count -- only actions? So why all of a sudden are the words of Rev. Wright so important (and he didn't just stand around making racist speeches for 20 years -- ask Martin Marty, one of the most respected theologians in America and a regular attendee of Trinity what their services are like. Oh, Marty is white, by the way).
I mean, if Wright was actually making bombs or something, then I'd see the concern. But words and speeches are empty and meaningless by themselves, say the Obama haters. So why so upset about these speeches?
midwestvoter @ 141:
