Richardson calls out Clinton adviser

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

Snip:

(CNN) – Bill Richardson criticized a Clinton campaign adviser Friday for suggesting his endorsement of Barack Obama is insignificant.

"I resent the fact that the Clinton people are now saying that my endorsement is too late because I only can help with Texans — with Texas and Hispanics, implying that that's my only value," the New Mexico governor told CNN's John King.

"That's typical of some of his advisers that kind of turned me off."Earlier Friday, Clinton campaign senior strategist Mark Penn said he thought Richardson's endorsement came too late to make an impact.

1. What does it do?

Seriously, it is not a big deal in so much as helping Obama get any votes. Embarrassing to Hill yes, but I think Obama is more embarrassed of who he knows more than who is endorsing him. Now if Bill came out and endorsed Obama that would be the end of the earth.

3. It's not a groundbreaking endorsement... no endorsement really is.

But it's disingenious for a campaign that has courted his endorsement for months say that the endorsement isn't important when they don't receive the endorsement.

4. Send a message to those ever-important SuperDelegates?

Or are they irrelevant this week? I keep losing track.

5. you mean "Liberal Icon name _here_" disruptors?

They all pretty much sound the same one note of disruption. If one can't see who and what they are by now, there's no hope for this place.
