Henry Cisneros and Edward Romero Endorse Hillary for President

PRESS RELEASE.

Former Richardson Supporters Cite Clinton’s Record of Delivering Results for America’s Families
Today, two prominent supporters of Governor Bill Richardson’s presidential campaign, former U.S. Ambassador Edward Romero and Henry Cisneros, the first Hispanic to serve as the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), announced their endorsements of Hillary Clinton for President today.

"These two men each in their own way broke historic ground and embody what the American dream is all about. I am honored to have their support, experience and passion behind me as I continue my conversation with American families about my bold vision for the future and my record of delivering real change for this country," said Senator Clinton.

Cisneros served in President Bill Clinton’s administration as the Secretary of HUD from 1993 to 1997. Cisneros is credited with initiating the revitalization of many of the nation’s public housing developments and formulating policies that have contributed to today’s record homeownership rate.

"I am proud to stand with Senator Clinton because she has always stood for America’s children and families. Hillary Clinton has the right combination of passion, leadership and heart that will make her the best President," said Cisneros. "We all need a President who can start on day one fixing the problems left in the wake of the Bush Administration."

Former U.S. Ambassador to Spain and Andorra Edward L. Romero, who had served as the National Finance Chair to Governor Bill Richardson’s presidential campaign, cited Senator Clinton’s record of delivering results to America’s children.

"I asked myself two questions: Who will be the best President and who can win in November? For me, the choice was clear. Senator Clinton time and again has worked hard and has a strong record of delivering real results for this country. She is best equipped to get this country back on track," said Romero.

Ambassador Romero has previously served on the national finance committees for the Carter and Clinton administrations as well as Vice President Al Gore. He also helped to raise money for Presidential candidate John Kerry.

So..........where does that leave Richardson, since I'm more interested in what he's going to do at this point? Is the article a clue to where he's heading? or irrelevant in that regard?

:eyes:

Some of us are not impressed with Richardson. I have a co-worker who is still burning over the Wen Ho Lee situation, and Richardson's part in it.

And then there's my roommate, a Republican who wanted to vote for Richardson (he thought he was the best candidate out of everyone) and was hoping he'd be the nominee. Lot of people contemplating crossing party lines, on both sides, this election year. Bush really did a number on this country.

All that to say, it was always my understanding that Richardson was a Clinton underling and clean-up man, mostly because of the Monica Lewinsky United Nations job. I always figured if Hillary got the nomination she'd ask Richardson to be her vice president.... even the papers out here, when they weren't lavishing 5 day spreads to Richardson's run, were talking about Richardson being Hillary's vice president as if it were a done deal already... and only dampened the enthusiasm when it appeared that Hillary wasn't inevitable after all.

It isn't a done deal, though, is it? and never was?

And might not until the convention.

He's "endorsed" all our candidates anyway by his postive statements about them during his campaign and after he dropped out.

I saw that. He's a great diplomat.

The same Henry Cisneros who was found guilty of lying to FBI investigators.

:rofl:

oh wait, he's in jail already.

Rezko! :rofl:

He holds tremendous weight in the Hispanic community.

Obummer is going down. Accept it.

You are sinking to a new low.
:eyes:

...or at least your candidate is.

And might I add, you are doing nothing to help the reputation of your's.
:dunce:

Hillary needs your support and that of the rest of the hispanic community.

I'm working very hard here in NJ to make sure that the hispanic vote is counted. Ditto for NY.

Today is the deadline in NY to register to vote for the primaries. I already sent to the Bd. of Elections office a couple of people who wanted to change their registration to Democrat so that they could vote for Hillary in the primary.


Si se puede, si se puede!!!!!!
