Richardson is Out

Posted on Wed, 01/09/2008 - 7:34pm by Eric Hysen

Looks like Bill Richardson is set to drop out of the race tomorrow. The big question is now who will he endorse, if he does endorse? As I said yesterday, this is his chance to make a bigger impact than he ever had while running. Rumors abounded that he gave second-choice support to Obama in Iowa - will he continue the (alleged) trend and endorse him? Or, being a former Bill Clinton Cabinet member, will he support Hillary? This will all be especially important with the Hispanic vote in Nevada - it could either seal the deal with Obama following his endorsement by the Culinary Union or give Hillary a boost and make the race more interesting.

My guess is that he'll go with Obama if he chooses to endorse. There was just too much talk about him sending support to Obama in Iowa for it to have just been rumors or precinct captains acting alone.

I don't think he will

I don't think he will endorse anyone until after NV and SC.

Yeah, I can't imagine him

Yeah, I can't imagine him endorsing until it's pretty clear who is going to get the nomination. Everyone seems to think that he's angling either for the VP spot on the ticket (bad idea, I think; he's not a good candidate and it'll put the Democrats in a bad position eight years on, assuming everything turns out the way we'd like), or else a cabinet position (fine by me).
