I hope he signs on with Senator Obama . He said it might not help but he still might do it. That sounds like an upcoming supporter for The Clintons.

Clinton, I feel for you but my vote goes to Obama

Edwards is taking to long with his endorsement as well. He nor Richardson's endorsement will matter, are they holding out for V.P. I think not, there is someone better qualified, like Dodd, who had the guts to take a stand.

OBAMA 08

Hillary for President period.

Why hasn't Hillary Clinton or any of the media asked Senator
Obama

"What is it that I and the other representavises in Congress
didn't know that you knew to cause you to vote against the war in Iraq;since the evidence presented to us albeit it turned out to be lies
and distortions would lead anyone concerned with our national security to support the President"

I hate the useless words that Barack Hussein Obama always says. I support Hillary.

Barack is a half-baked visionary.
His point is just the following:
"America needs change. I will change it! America needs hope! I have hope! I have hope and will change things! Change is what I am going to do! And with hope you can do anything! Like change things! Things that need to be changed! Like those things here in America that need to be changed! And I will change them! With hope things will change! Change starts here but it won't end here, for the future will be changed by our hope! Changed in a way that people will see that the change is better due to the hope we all possess here today. I know change, you know change, we will bring change to the White House with the help of your hope! Things will change!"

Hillary is a doer, not a talker.

I'd be surprised if he doesn't go Hillary.

Gov. Richardson is a very intelligent guy and I think he senses that the media is starting to turn on Obama (as they always turn on the favorite…in sports, in politics, in entertainment..it's the churn factor..always got to have a new story, a new angle). Bill will endorse Hillary who will go on to win Texas and he will be championed as a visonary who saw the tide turning before anyone else.

Peggy B.

js I have to agree with you, if a senator or representative is going to take a stand then they should do so, without worrying about their political agenda, but the real issues at stake., this country and its people.

Mr. Richardson as a person who has been in politics as long as you have you know first hand that experience does matter and therefore your vote should be for Hillary Clinton. This country can't have a candidate who needs on the job training. There's too much at stake at this time to choose someone like Obama. Maybe in four or eight years Obama can try again. So Mr. Richardson do the country a favor and stop the Obama madness and hurry up and endorse Hillary Clinton.

MICHEAL I'M FROM THE SHOW ME STATE AND OBAMA HAS NOT SHOWED ME ANY DETAILS.
IF HE HAD I MAY HAVE CONSIDERED HIS RUN BUT WORDS DONT PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE.
AND LIKE IT OR NOT WE ARE IN TWO WARS, AS A MILLITERY MAN
I LOOK FOR SUBSTANCE.
IN MY OWN OPPINION I DON'T FEEL HE'S QUALIFED.
RESPECT TO YOUR OPPION, JUST THINK ALOT OF YOU WILL GET YOUR BUBBLE BUSTED EVEN IF THE MAN WIN THE WHOLE KIT AND CABUTTO.
I HAVE RESPECT FOR EVERY HUMAN BEING. GOD BE WITH YOU.
AND USE ME TO VENT YOUR FRUSTERATION ON ANY TIME.
I SERVED THIS GREAT NATION HONORABLY AND AM GLAD TO
SERVE AS YOUR POKEING BOARD .
WITH RESPECT TO ALL WHO DISAGREE.
AND ONE OTHER THING,
I MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE THAN YOU GIVE THE HUMAN RACE.CREDIT FOR

CNN, YOU NEED TO BE FAIR AND POST THIS SINCE YOU POSTED SO MANY SLAMS ON ME.

Clinton 2008 !

Come on Bill, we are counting on you. Endorse the BEST candidate, not the most popular one….endorse HILLARY. Your opinion counts for more than Chris Dodd who is just another Kennedy groupie.

Mr Bill

it is evident from these comments that the people in your state are asking you to endorse Hillary…they sound pretty serious about it, so i hope you do the right thing and help her become the president she DESERVES TO BE…or you go and follow the trend, as many have mentioned as well…again thank you CNN for the "best political teams on TV" …if only you were bit more objective…kuddos to SNL

HILLARY 08

CNN…POST THIS COMMENT ALREADY!!!

If you endorse Obama, you won't see any changes after eight years so your endorsement will not fruitful

I respect Richardson so much. I hope he will go for Obama to prove that Latinos can vote for blacks. Not only that, but also to prove that Obama is a better candidate. I can understand why some lantinos vote for Hillary because they think that clinton will fight for them when it comes to immigration issures. What an utter nonsense, even if she is going to be the next president. they should realize that she can not save them on immigration. Latinos should know that Obama will actually help them better than Clinton because his father got here from Africa, and he understand how important it is to chase American dream. I hope that Latinos in Texas an Ohio will try and change their minds, so they wont see their love ones send back to mexico. ….GO OBAMA

P.s… Richardson, please do the right thing and support Obama. HE will save this nation. mark my word.

U actually want to hear that annoying Hillary voice for 4 years? Yikes!!!
ask yourself this question "who looks more Presidential "Hillary" or Obama" enough said. I'm not crazy about either of them but at least Obama looks Presidential and will make this country stand out. Hillary does not even look like a Senator. she looks like an Ex Presidents wife.

DO NOT ACT LIKE ALL HISPANICS SUPPORT THE DISASTER THAT IS THE CLINTON PARTY!….I AM HISPANIC AND I AM A HUGE OBAMA SUPPORTER!

FIRST EVERYONE WANTS TO FORGET ABOUT US, AND GET RID OF US, BUT NOW WE ARE IMPORTANT PLAYERS?

HILLARY IS A JOKE

OBAMA '08

jj (or whatever you name is)

Out of all the comments posted today, your comment is the most racist and uneducated. I find your comments extremely offensive.

Why don't you try reading about where each candidate stands on the issues? Then you can make an informed and intelligent decision.

I agree with A.P. Fox - stop with the childish talk!

Go Obama!!!!!!!

"I don't think this race is over."

He's going to endorse Hillary.

Now Edwards just needs to jump on the bandwagon and we'll get the jolt we need!

Hillary Clinton '08

For Bill Richardson to say that his endorsement " wouldn't be significant" and that is why he has waited, is playing the ultimate Washington insiders political game. Richardson knows Obama is going to be the nominee and has been holding out for a possible VP bid or significant cabinet position. Obama will need Richardson's help to secure the Latino vote, many who are Republicans for some ungodly reason and Richardson can deliver the Latino vote in the general election. I seriously don't understand why anyone of color would be a Republican as I can't find any legislation that shows the Republicans have supported Latinos or African Americans or for that matter Asians. Oh well, Richardson is a good diplomat, with a good sense of humor who has been able to work with Republicans. He would help Obama win the presidency by delivering the Latino vote.

An Obama/Richardson ticket wouldn't be bad for ALL Americans. Wonder what the odds are in Las Vegas for Richardson to be on the ticket with Obama?

Too much speculation from all these comments. Too much Obama this and Hillary that… so much posturing and threats of voting one way or another if your idealized candidate doesn't get nominated. Why don't you all shut up and let your votes do the talking for you?

Richardson will endorse Hillary. If not, Bill is going to be mighty upset that he wasted watching the Super Bowl with Richardson when he could have been at the game hitting on the cheerleaders.

OBAMA ' 08 BABY!

Richardson can jump on board the Titanic, err I mean Hillary's campaign. All kidding aside Clinton's recent attacks to stifle Obama are getting real old, real fast. Her negative politicking is too reminiscent of Dubya's style back in 2000 & 2004. Enough of silly season already, as Obama eloquently put it.

Avoid the drama, vote Obama!

Edgardo, if you want a politician that you can trust, then surely you should vote for Senator Obama. Why would you trust Hilary? She was for NAFTA before she was against it. She voted for the war and now she is against it. Five days ago she was proud to sit next to Obama and now she is ashamed of him.

Which Hilary do you trust. Doctor Hilary or Mrs Clinton.

The anti Obama sentiments is crazy. Obama is no ameteur and he stands to actually change the country. The same thing Ron Paul, Nader, and to some extent McCain want to do. Hillary is MORE OF THE SAME! This country is in dire need of a change in policy, all policies. McCain or Obama, anyone is better than W and the pork barell establishment.

Congress needs to get to work, fire them all.

Independent for OBAMA 08

who cares who he endorses after all, I vote experience and Hillary has many …

Hillary supporters give it a break. stop this bull that Hillary has experience. if the plumber gets sick can the plumbers wife take his place? see what I mean….just because Hillary was in the whit house does not give her experience. at least Bill ran a state (sort of).

If he has any sense at all he will support Clinton. Obama is like popcorn all air not substance.

Bill would make a good monk and N.M would make a fine country.

Richardson's in a pickle.. he's on the fence

If he REALLY BELIEVED in Hillary we would have KNOWN it LONG AGO….

he's waiting for Obama to erode her support….

If he supports her and she's a loser he's a loser and what Hispanic wants to be side kick to Hillary?

What experience did Regan have before he was prez for 8 years? what experience Bush? for that matter, what experience Bill Clinton?

get off it with experience. . don't need corrupt experience wheeling and dealing and smiling smugly at us from Air Force One..

I TOLD you SO! America doesn't CARE what Bill did.. they can do some more of it!

and comment above about if YOU THINK THE ECONOMY WILL TURN TO ROSES!!! dreamers awake!

Prepare to pay off YOUR OWN DEBT !!! NOT HILLARY'S !!!!!!

Maybe he hasn't been asked to consider VP or a cushy cabinet job yet and is waiting to see which way the wind blows? I don't see how his endorsement matters one way or the other. Now, Sen Kennedy is another matter. I immediately lose a ton of respect for anyone endorsed by him. Sen Dodd is just following orders from Kennedy. I'm voting for Ron Paul even if I have to write in his name. There is no one else, still in the race, I would give a second thought to of either party. No more of the Clinton/Bush dynasty. Is the best the Republicans and Democrats could come up with? The best of the bunch has already been eliminated. What a shame for America. Surely we have many who would be great candidates in this country of 300,000,000 people.

Who cares who Richardson supports, the people have already spoken. They will speak again on March 4th. Let the voters determine which candidate will be the nominee. And, for those that say they want vote if one or the others is nominee–God Lord, who cares!!!

Bill Richardson…Do the right thing! Endorse Barack Obama.

The Governor needs to realize the 15-20 million people who wiill not be covered by Obamas Health Care policy will be the very same people he represents in New Mexico. So if he sides with Obama, he has turned his back on the People of New Mexico and has become nothing less than a FOOL! Better wake up GOV!

Let us face it. A guy so far to the left, with the intentions that Obama has, will NOT HAVE A CHANCE at ever winning the presidency. At least, for the return of the democrats to the presidency, let us give Hillary a change. Obama has NONE whatsoever. Otherwise, it looks like we are headed for the 100 years war with McCain as president. If Obama runs against him he will be obliterated. All McCain has to do is:
First, replay the “in my adult life, I have never been proud to be an American” statements from his wife - - totally inappropriate at this time of war, or his refusal to do anything that is patriotic, like endorsing the flag. (Americans HATE that - - no explanations are necessary).
Second, have a message of Bin Laden making threats to Americans, and BINGO, McCain wins by a landslide. Change that, support Hillary for President.

Did Gov Richardson watch the Super Bowl with Bill Clinton? Hmmm…

I couldn't care less who he endorses.

Funny how Hillary has been recently endoresed by actor Sean Astin, General Wesley Clark, Lt. General Joe Ballard, Major General Antonio M. Taguba, Rear Admiral David Stone, Brigadier General John M. Watkins, Jr., former Secretary of the Army Togo West as well as 27 Flag officers. She has also been recently endorsed by a dozen Cleveland area officials and community leaders. Not to mention that The Akron Beacon Journal, The Laredo Morning Times and The Daily Texan have all endorsed her this week yet none of this is reported while the majority, if not ALL of Obama the Semi-devine's endorsements make the front page and headlines.

Pretty ridiculous and yes, I know CNN, you will delete this post like the gazillion of my other pro-Hillary posts. Truly sad but cheers anyways.

PEOPLE! QUIT TYPING IN ALL CAPPS, IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANY SMARTER OR MORE IMPORTANT

Obama needs to have a woman VP. That is truly the right way to unite — otherwise this election will be about defeating women. Of course we need someone more qualified than Hillary. There are many qualified democratic women to choose from…

Ok , I am a woman. So let me be the President! Even I am a woman. I still vote for Obama, Obama all the way!!!

Can someone PLEASE enlighten me as to WHAT experience Clinton has? ….and WHY people feel she's EARNED the right to be President?

Richardson confessed that he ran on the mantle of experience and it did not work.

What does that say about Bilary's campaign?

funny no pro clinton comments

You pretty much have to endorse Obama. If you come out and endorse Hillary you look like a Jack Arse. You'd be going against the will of the people. I know he is mad Dodd beat him to the endorsement punch.

Ok, Bill, don't let your former boss stain you. Get a clean slate and choose good moral conscience: OBAMA!
What's the big deal about a woman pre, this or that? To be a woman is the best qualification? I am a woman. I should be the Present!

AJ:

In case you have not noticed, the Clintons have already turned their backs against Black People. Ever since she lost South Carolina she has ignored Black People in most of her advertising and campaigning. True her campaign manager is Black but she has focused on winning the Latino vote and has almost made this a black vs. Brown contest. She needs to be very careful. If she does win the nomination, she will have to mend a lot of fences with Black People who may not come out in such numbers to support her based upon her alleged treatment of Obama and her ignoring them in favor of Latinos. She needs Black AND Brown to come out in huge numbers for her to win in November.

I was with Hillary till South Carolina now if she gets the nod, I'll do something that I have never done in my adult life. I'll vote Republican for President.

And for you Obama fans who keep touting that "will of the people" stuff:

Clinton won New Mexico, doesn't it then follow that the governor of that state should endorse her? Just using a little Obama logic there.

WHO CARES!!!!

I think Richardson would be an excellent Vice-President for Hillary
He has the calm mannerism needed for VP. He is not trying to be a "empty" promise person like Obama is.
People wake up and see who has the experience here. Open your eyes first time voters and look closely at the background of Hillary. She is one person who knows the policies and how to handle any problem. GO HILLARY!

Obama/Pattrick that's the ticket!

CNN - if you don't like what your viewers have to say then why are you asking???? Unless the comment has profanity or is COMPLETELY off topic then you should let it stand. That is what unbiased news organizations are supposed to do - report the facts and let people make up their own minds…..

The democrats are going to lose an election that a year ago was 'unloseable'.

Gov Richardson ,
You have been close to the Clintons. You worked in Bill's
administration. You said your support would be insignificant.
Obama has had many endoresements. Why not support Hillary ?

Hillary for President!

Who cares about Gov. Richardson's endorsement! He's a loser!

I do hope that he endorses Obama. This is the only logical thing to do for a democrat at this stage of the race.

OH. Look at me! I'm a high ranking ethnic figure and I'm endorsing a candidate!

I thought we were trying to make this one NOT about race?

HMMM?

OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA IS OUR MAN

It's funny how all of you idiots were not talking about dinasties in 2000 and 2004. And I am sure you will vote for Jeb years from now.

You all will not vote for Hillary because your dislove for this country continues to exude.

As I saw then, I see now, you will also regret you vote in 2008 and by then American will be on it's knees and I may be too late.

If he was to endorse Clinton, he would have done that eons ago.. Welcome to the movement Mr. Richardson..

Richardson, let your heart lead you to the right candidate…i know it is BARACK OBAMA and i support your heart ALL THE WAY to the White House

hope he'll endorse Obama!

Obama 08

I find it curious that most on here that are for a Democrat don't consider Nader, Obama or Clinton as the change they're talking about ingeneral. Republicans are the ones that have been the problem to them. Any change from the Republicans is a dramatic change. Have democrats gotten so use to baging on the Republicans and equated that to the goverment that they've forgotten exactly what it is they are trying to change. The idea that Obama is the only one that can deliver them from that change, (though he too would be a change, to what extent has to be yet determined) to me anyway seems to belittle the people like Kerry, Kennedy, and Dodd that support him now. Why do those endorsements seem contrary to his campaign of change? What is that change he talks about? Both sides of the isle and the candidates have answers to those questions, but how and when will that effect the country and your lives? Will we really be out of Iraq if Obama is elected, or will the main troops just be replaced by someone else that cost us even more of our tax dollars? Will we get Universal Health care with Obama or will it get stalled in the Senate or in Congress? Will the change come as excuses or will the change come and it wasn't really wasn't what we asked for? I can't help but ask these questions becasue it's the process I go thru before I can cast a vote. I hope all the voters go to atleast that much troble, and not listen to sound bites or negative campaigns since all that is to distract us from what we're really asking.

Please endorse CLINTON 08!!! She is the best candidate!!

It's too bad the many of the posts on this page are rabidly promoting either Obama or Hillary. That is not the war! It is only a small battle that leads up to THE WAR–winning the presidency back from the Republicans.

Yes, the outcome of this battle will affect the outcome of the WAR. And Democrates will lose it for sure if they become divided and bent on having their favorite candidate–to the point that they bolt or not vote if they don't get their way

I'm voting for a more shared spirit!

Gov. Richardson has had the time to grow his beard, and take a retrospective look at what's atually happening. His resume is fully loaded with the most admirable experiences but somehow it was a tough sell for him - he dropped out of the race.

The American image both home and abroad strongly needs to be revamped. It needs to be lifted up or it will cascade into a level of irrelevance. The truth is not that Obama is too loftty in his rhetorics but that he understands the inner yearnings of the ordinary American who wants to reclaim the respect America once possessed - a connection to the higher ideal that can motivate you to solve insurmountable problems. A belief in America again - that's what Obama is offering.

We need to break the trend going back to 1988 of either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House this year.

Almost anybody but Clinton '08

Hillary, and pro-hill moderator asked hill about her comment that Obama plagiarized some words of Deval Patrick who told Obama to use this particular line.

Hill has BORROWED throughout this campaign, without acknowledgment Obama's own lines, her slogans change daily: experience, change, solutions…..all with no substance….she might as well butcher spanish like bush to pander to hispanics….and then ignore hispanic concerns like bush….

She copies her own philandering impeached husband Bill:

Hillary: "You know, the hits I've taken in life are nothing compared to what goes on every single day in the lives of people across our country"—eerily similar to:

Bill Clinton in 1992 declared that: "The hits that I took in this election are nothing compared to the hits the people of this state and this country have been taking for a long time."

Hill "borrowed" verbatim NY Gov. Spitzer's "on day one" campaign slogan….

Her unaffordable health care is borrowed exactly from 1993 when Bill floated it and it failed…..when there was a budget surplus!!!

yeah, media are SO unfair to hill….ha….what a shameful hypocrite she is…..and saying whoever does not vote for her is delusional….SHE would know about deluding people….

Therefore, don't let her down! You know she's worth it__.

A real Genuine C. I. C. The US has needed for the past 50yr's.

Bill Richardson, I hope u will endorse Barack Obama for President. Your endorsement will be good for him. He's the best candidate that can bring people together, and he also proved his good judgement on the Iraq vote. He's the best presidential material out there this year. I respect Hillary too, but it's time that she drops out, and brings the party together & support Obama. All americans need change, our world is changing everyday, we cannot live in the politics of the past. We need someone new, a vibrant face, that will bring people together irrespective skin color, religion or ethnic background. That's how a president should be. Obama is the best. So, Gov. Richardson, please endorse Obama after tonight's debate, it will help him with the Latino votes too. Latinos for Obama too. Thanks all. CNN please post my comments

His last comment "This race is not over" should clue you in: He's supporting Hillary. It makes sense: his state chose her. However, palying the race card here should be behind us. To argue that Richardson should support Clinton because of his ethnicity is silly. With that said, it's going to be Clinton.

I don't get it….
the blacks can vote as a block but it is not about race….

but a woman can't support Hillary or it is about gender…

excuse me!

Hillary is the most prepared and ready to lead candidate.

Come on Bill, throw your support behind experience, not the 30 second soundbite master.

VOTE HILLARY in 2008!

How is this news? Someone with little national recognition and even less influence drops a hint that he's close to making a decision?

Well of course he should endorse Clinton. Isn't that who won the primary in New Mexico? Doesn't Sen. Obama feel as though the "will of the people be heard"? Or is that just "his people".

Richardson knows what is going on around the world & what it takes to fix it. He ain't going to endorse OBAMA the cute preacher. He will endorse the next President ,which is going to be Hillary.

Richardson will endorse Hillary. It's all leading up to the latino vote in Texas.

PLEASE do not endorse either….Let the people decide and please encourage Obama to tell us what kind of Change he hopes to give the people of the United States

HILARY=PRESIDENT
BILL RICHARDSON=VP

Decision time. Heads Hillary, Tails Obama, Heads Hillary, Tails Obama. or Einee minne miny moe. Word of Advice from this Chicano Advocate. Stay out of this choice. You can't win no matter which way you.

I don't know why New Mexico and Gov. Richardson are so worried about Hillary Clinton. YOU ARE A SMALL STATE. Haven't you heard about her love for the BIG populated STATES. Obama has embraced us all regardlees of a Big or SMALL state status. If the honorable Gov. Richardson doesn't endorse Hillary, her spin doctors will say that was nothing anyway and marginalize his thoughtful endorsement. WAKE UP New Mexico, Hillary is now saying "YES WE CAN" every chance she gets. GO OBAMA!

He worked in BC's administration and watched the one best superbowl games ever. Not endorsing anyone is endorsing Obama. Sorry HC!

Is anyone else starting to feel disenfranchised with the Dem Party? Maybe Lou Dobbs is right:

Caucuses are a joke and definitely don't speak for the majority of Dem voters; Primaries and Caucuses for the Dem Candidate should be decided by Dems WHO ARE 18 YEARS OR OLDER; The rules should be the same nation-wide, not state-by-state since this is a NATIONAL election. All states should hold these primaries on the same date for an entire day; all states votes should count…. how on Earth under any "rule" can you not count the votes of 2 states? The madness goes on and on and on.

There has to be a better way than the free-for-all we've experienced this election cycle.

the same people who complain that all of the black people vote for obama are the same ones saying that richardson should endorse hillary because the latinos "do". smacks of hypocrisy to me.

This is a non story… why report what may or may not happen?

NEXT!

You all are getting kind of ugly. I hope he does endorse Obama. They would make a good team. Let's face it, Hillary is losing in the Lone Star State. I don't see that changing even if Richardson endorses Hillary.

Hillary really shouldn't have done her little scolding routine or the mockery heavenly routine. We Texas voters can figure this out for ourselves pretty well.

By now, we are very informed and have had a chance to evaluate the candidates personalities and character. It's been trickey with there being so many personalities and such little character coming from Hillary. But I think we have just about got this figured out.

I really like Richardson. He is a decent and smart person.

I REALLY HOPE HE supports EXPERIENCE AND ENDORSES HILLARY. I thought what was QUOTED ABOVE HINTED THAT HE WOULD ENDORSE HER!! Down the road I would love him to be Hillary's vice president. They would make an amazing team!!
It would be cool to vote in a woman president and a latino vice prez!!

I believe he really likes the Clintons and will support her. I think he believes in the Clintons and respects how much they have supported Hispanics.

Hillary - Richardson '08

Bill,

No need to endorse either one of them! Just stay away, it is over!

NM Latinos went for Obama!!

I hate it that Richardson is having to endorse either of them. He should have been the Democratic nominee. He shined in the debates, and I don't know him personally but something tells me he is a gem of a person.
He has foreign policy experience and had great ideas for our country.
I don't understand it, but nobody asked me.

Undecided in '08

Obama always speaks of HRC's vote on the Iraqi war- he says you cannot afford that chance again. How about is dealing with Rezko-Bad Judgement? We cannot afford to have that in the White House

Richardson will endorse Hillary. And she may run with him as vice.

If you read what he's said you'll know that he is endorsing Obama.
Obama 08!

His endorsement wont' mean anything to the voters who should make their judgment on who is the most qualified nominee.

richardson was a big loser in bubbas cabinet so he'll probably endorse another loser in Hillary for the hope of hitting the trifecta to be a bigger loser in the hillbilly cabinet

I think Richardson will not go with the CNN & MSNBC propaganda that Obama is the "Son Of God"

It is obvious that Richardson will be endorsing Hillary. There is no other reason for him to endorse now–Obama has all the momemtum and it will take a Richardson jolt to rescue Hillary.

I hope Richardson endorses Obama even if the Clintons feel he owes them. Obama will be the next President of the United States! Si se puede!!

Why do Clinton supporters think they're going to sway anyone by threatening to vote for McCain? Vote for who you think would be the best president. The general election polls show that you are in the minority. Obama does far better than Clinton against McCain. You're not fooling anybody and nobody cares. Vote for who you think would be the president. If more people think that's Obama, then so be it.

Bil,L PLEASE ENDORSE HILLARY, SHE IS THE EXPERIENCE AND CHANGE.

Did Michelle Obama actually say "there is a hole in our soul" and Barack can fix it? This is scary!

Obama will not win many Demo supporters who may never voted for Republican in their life but may be this time if it's Obama

Guillermo Ricardo is just trying to keep his name before the public. No way he's gonna endorse one candidate and risk choosing the wrong one–he desperately wants to be VP.

Richardson has always come to Hill's defense. If he endorses Obama its just for political gain. He thought (like everyone else), that HRC had the race in the bag. What experience does she have? Her health care plan failed before she voted for the war, she approved of NAFTA. If she is the nominee the war will be off the table for the election. The country is ready for something totally different. Although she is a woman she still represents the same politics as usual. Her behavior lately proves that.

I love this! When Gov. Richardson was a candidate, no-one voted for him or supported him. Why should, magically, we now pay attention to who he says we should all vote for? The same could be said to apply to Dodd.

blah, blah, blah, blah….this is all harble-garble-swarfel at its finest…….i peronally think everyone except the candidates should keep their mouths closed til this is over…………including the bloggers……the insults have gotten ridiculous

Hillary's experience has led to one of the most mis-managed campaigns in history. According to spending records, in JANUARY ALONE the Clinton camp spent $11,000 on pizza, $1,200 on Dunkin Donuts, and $95,384 at a Des Moines Hy-Vee grocery store for get-out-the-vote sandwich platters. If I donated money to this campaign and saw this ridiculous spending I would be irrate!

Good thing she's experienced though….

he's gonna endorse Clinton. That last part tells it all

If he is going endorse, it should be Clinton. However, I wouldn't be surprised if he endorsed Obama if he's interested in political appointments.

Hillary should congratulate Obama after Tuesday's election, and step aside to work on uniting the democratic party (and I am a Clinton supporter, but reality needs to be the basis of decision, and the reality is Obama is going to win).

my motto this week is ……."Don't come back a cryin if Barack Can't produce"….I think experience is a most…..looking at some serious research there must be an American Indian to run for the presidency, we took away there land and livelihood and lets us immigrants come in this country and accomplish our dream……

I find it very disturbing that people who say they are either Clinton or Obama supporters will vote republican if their candidate does not win the democratic nomination. What is wrong with you? Is that supposed to be a threat? Do you want another Goerge Bush clone in the white house(John McCain) and suffer through another 4 years of what we've been going through? Please think before you say things like this… the republicans are laughing all the way to the election as we tear ourselves apart. This isn't a popularity contest, grow up. With that said, I am an Obama supporter but if he doesn't get the nomination, I will support whomever does against the republicants.

Bill Richardson whoever you choose may you pick the best one to serve our country.

HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE only choice!!!!!!!

LET'S GO PEOPLE!!
GO TEXAS!!!
GO OHIO!!!
GO RHODE ISLAND!!!
GO VERMONT!!!

GO BILL RICHARDSON!!!

If he doesn't vote for experience he'll be voting against everything he has been saying when he was running.

Bill knows Latinos dislike Obama. He also must position himself
for a possible VP slot on the ticket. Then he must coddle Latinos
for another possible run in 2012. All things considered…look for
Bill's arrival in Texas to join Hillary - - and I don't mean that other
Bill.

I will feel safer if CLinton was in the White House. She would be a true leader. Obama fans, can you just look at him without eating?

We have to respect senators like Dodd who actually take a stand about their beliefs and demand real change, not just a seat at the table…or share of the political pie and who don't care about Americans, or those such as Clintons and Bushes who just care about their respective dynasties and not the real issues facing all of us……

Obama '08

I will never entrust my future and my kid's future to an amateur politician. I want a trusted politician who can deliver solutions to this mess that we are in right now! This is the reason why Richardson should endorse HILLARY! No more, no less

Who cares who he is endorsing…now it seems like everyone and anyone is just jockeying to say, "Hey, I supported you." He should have endorsed someone earlier…

To Jessica,

It is so amazing and so good to hear a Clinton supporter not say nasty things about Obama. You are right, we are ONE party and we will need to remain that way to keep a third Bush term (McCain) from happening! I hope Americans are smarter than they were in 2000 and 2004!

Just say NO to "100 years" of war in Iraq!!!

OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

P.S.- Did anyone catch that interview with Texas Monthly and how Hillary basically is saying if she doesn't win Texas, it's okay because they will not vote Democrat in Nov anyway???

Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn. The question of the day is this: To be or not to be. Is Hillary Clinton more "woman" than a "president"?

No rush Bill! Wait and see if the Barack myth the media has created knocks out Hillary. Barack is no prophet but he promises what only God can accomplish.

I thought the task of super delegates was to safeguard America from a meldown that is, in this case, rapidly reaching cult status?

If Barack is the nominee,The Dems will go down again. The Republicans will rip the bark off Barack and John McCain will be the next president.

If not Hillary 08 then McCain 08

OK CNN - take a poll to see how many care who Bill Richardson endorses.

Women are for Hillary. If he would endorse Obama, I would look down upon him.

It dose not matter who Edwars or Richardson endorse
Like Dodd he should of none all of this long ago.
Endoresment do not matter did Opera help Obama
maybe in south Caroline where the population have more Black voters. thats why he won when you see 96% of Black voters vote for him 4% for Hillery what dose that tell you. the Clintnos have done
more for the Black people then Obama will ever do he has onley
a point t prove as black person can be president and that is all
he cares about. He will never do anything to get us out of this mess
except raise taxes of working people. Dose it his friend the slum lord
have his trail comming up this week. Any way waite for the debates tonight then make up your mind who is best to be president.

I for one love Bill Clinton…ask my husband. On day one, I waited to hear that Hillary was running for president…not because I would support her but because I knew she would. This Clinton family s very ambitious. They seek firsts…and Hillary has accomplished a lot of firsts…but being the first woman president is simply not oing to be one of them. If she would have endorsed Gore or Kerry for that matter when they were running fot the job of POTUS, I would have looked differently upon her. Now that she wants the support of the party leaders, she is suprised that they are reluctant to stick their necks out for a candidate that is only out for herself and her family…Give up Hillary. You have an appointment waiting. You have a date with defeat, and it is March 5th, 2008. Sorry Hillary fans it is time to read the writing on the wall!
Go Barack 08

WHY?!?!?!?!?

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM USING SUPERDELEGATES TO GARNER SUPPORT???????????????

DON'T PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OWN MINDS?????

All I have to say is hopefully it is for Obama. We saw how the Kennedy's helped bolster his vote in MA and CA….

June,

Please get your facts straight. It is not 150 delegate lead. It is fewer than 100 (and that excludes Florida and Michigan — they ought to be happy about their being disenfranchised when the General Election rolls around).

Also, please review your civics book from junior high school. The margin in delegates between Obama and Clinton is razor thin when, in a primary, one needs 2,000+ delegates to be declared the nominee. Considering that your candidate is woefully short of that and will miss that mark regardless, it may be prudent to reign in your comments a bit. If less than 100 delegates is SO MUCH than how would you characterize being close to 1,000 delegates of the required number?

The fact of the matter is that this is a very close race. The results are further muddied — and, frankly, misleading — because the bulk of Obama's wins thus far have been cobbled together from smaller red states (that, I might add, typically go Republican in a general election). While this may be an interesting strategy in a primary, it doesn't tell us anything about the likely outcome of a general election. Even mainstream media (part of the Obama choir) has recently begun to pick up on this.

Finally, please remember that 8.5 million people have voted for Clinton so far. So perhaps before you dismiss all of us as irrelevant, you may want to act a little more in accord with the sort of "unity" that Obama has been preaching. Otherwise, many of those 8.5 million could drift over to McCain (I for one) and the Democrats may end up losing the White House yet again.

BILL RICHARDSON'S ENDORSEMENT FOR EITHER CLINTON OR OBAMA WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE NOMINATION
PROCESS. HE IS A WELL KNOWN DIPLOMAT , A DEMOCRAT AND VERY WELL LIKED EVEN BY REPUBLICANS.
hIS ENDORESEMENT MAY WELL TIP THE NOMINATION TO WHOMEVER HE ENDORSES.
i JUST HOPE HE ENDORSES THE CANDIDATE WITH "EXPERIENCE" AND THAT IS NONE OTHER THAN HILLARY
RODHAM CLINTON . IT'S UP TO YOU BILL RICHARDSON.

How can Bill NOT endorse Hillary? The Richardsons and the Clintons are practically fanily. Fo him to endorse Obama would be stab in the back….Et Tu Brut?!?

I hope he does endorse Billary and lets tighten up this race for the final knife fight!!!

Obama 2008

I doubt he'll endorse Clinton. I was suprised he didn't come out and endorse Hillary after spending super bowl weekend with Bill.

I actually liked both Obama and Clinton at one time, but with all the anti-Hillary stuff from the media and some very rude and mean comments from Obama supporters, it has turned me off to him. If he is our nominee, I can't say at this time that I will vote for him come November. People need to stop all this back and forth bickering and realize that they are turning off voters that support the other candidate. For the democrats to win in November, we will need both Obama and Clinton supporters behind whomever the nominee may be!

Common..you too know "change" is needed than "experience"…Follow your heart and endorse Obama…you wont repent

Govenor Richardson the Clinton campaign is out of money, out of toutch, out of luck and out of it's collective mind with desperation. There is only one way to go in this campaign and that is with Obama if the Democratic party wants to hold onto all those young voters.

If Richardson has any intellect, he would endorse Obama, the candidate that will unite America. Hillary is running just for her legacy, while Obama is running for the interests of the people in the US. It's true that Mr. Richardson has ties with the Clintons, but it's also true that he knows all of the political baggage that they carry.

CNN PLEASE POST:

Hillary Clinton has the same haircut as my neighbor Larry. They both wear man-pants and both blame others for their shortcomings.

Nancy Hillsborough
Rhode Island

Richardson would best serve his state's interest by endorsing Hillary Clinton. Obama's lack of experience will drive our economy into a deeper hole, and that would especially affect a disproportionate percentage of hispanics and african-americans. Hillary's the best prepared to move our country in the right direction and make change for the better.

i really hope Governor Richardson endorses Barack Obama, campaigns with him, and serves on his cabinet or as VP.

This GA wm liberal can't stand obama or his supporters….I can't wait to move to Spain in fact, if he wins the nomination! Homogenous cultures are better….

John Smith - Are you really 'John Smith'? You sound like a girl to me. Sorry to say this. I am a gal too, but you really sound like a whining gal to me.

FOR YOU PEOPLE THINKING THAT McCAIN IS A DEMOCRAT,

THINK AGAIN, LOOK AT HIS RECORD, TWO VOTES AGAINST BUSH TAX CUTS AND ONE CMPAIGN FINANCE REFOM DOES NOT MAKE YOU A DEMOCRAT.

NOW HE'S JUST A SHELL OF A MAN HE USED TO BE.

PLUS, HE IS WEAK,

WHY?

HOW MANY RETRACTIONS HAS HE HAD IN THE LAST WEEK?

HOW MANY RETRACTIONS HAS BUSH HAD IN HIS WHOLE LIFE TIME?

ENOUGH SAID.

Richardson's endorsement will have a decent impact with older Texas Latinos who are still undecided….

Young Latinos (and younger people in general) don't care about an endorsement unless it comes from a pop star…

Younger Latinos will either vote the way their parents do, which would favor Clinton, or they'll vote the way their friends do, which would favor Obama

Bill Richardson KNOWS that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is the most practical and strongest choice for the DEMS….

He was there, first-hand, in the trenches, and has seen what the Republicans will do for power—and they will not spare barack obama just because he's talking about Hope. The GOP spares no-one.

That's why I'm hoping and betting that Richardson will endorse Senator Clinton because of the strenght, resilience, and platform that she has.!

Hillary Clinton all the way !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill go to hell with Hillary. I am mad as hell to see that you are waiting to see which one will go forth. It just goes to show that you are not qualified to be VP. You suck. Gutless.

I think he's already chosen who….HRC…he ended his comment with this race is not over……

I personally choose Obama! Obama! Obama!

whether or not he's endorsed…he's chosen by God…..American's have suffered long enough with the same….

And if Hillary claims experience…where is it…her whole campaign has been on her husbands record….the only one true is his unfairness to her and his uncommitment to her personally……that's how she's played this campaign….cheatin

Guys dont be so racist in your comments. This is the interest of a nation not the interest of a person.
Wether he endorse or not Obama or Clinton, you need to show that you are mature in your reflexion in order to help undecided to make the right choice.

Richardson, son choice is not late but make the right choice to help undecided to be concerned by this race.

Vive America!

LATINO SERVICE MEMBERS FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Richardson is someone with experience yet couldn't mount an effective campaign. I think he would be an excellent candidate for VP with Hillary Clinton unless, of course he bails and goes over to Obama. Then he will get nothing. He can keep his job as governor.

Barack NEEDS to pick Edwards as his VP. Neither Biden (status quo) or Richardson (minority) are gonna have his back in the General Election. MARK. MY. WORDS. Without John, you CAN'T get 270. Again, it's ALL about the Electoral College, stupid.
PS: Have a great debate tonight. Don't stutter, don't contradict yourself and please, please…SEE. IT. COMING i.e DON'T TAKE THE BAIT. This nomination's yours for the taking.

I Like Richardson . A Clinton Richardson ticket would be just as good as Clinton Edwards. I'll take either one. But Obama no way, I'd vote McCain befor Obama.

This is just what the Hillary camp was waiting for. He will support Hillary Clinton, who has much closer ties to the Hispanic community than Obama. Although I think some are overestimating his influence, he could push the Clinton campaign just far enough ahead of Obama to make things really interesting over the next couple of months…if he endorses her before March 4th…and ladies and gentlemen thats a big IF.

To Jessica,

It is so amazing and so good to hear a Clinton supporter not say nasty things about Obama. You are right, we are ONE party and we will need to remain that way to keep a third Bush term (McCain) from happening! I hope Americans are smarter than they were in 2000 and 2004!

Just say NO to "100 years" of war in Iraq!!!

OBAMA/EDWARDS '08

interesting that hillary supporters like to use obama's middle name, as if ignorance might scare off potential voters–that's a dirty right-wing tactic. i like hillary less every day because of the "do anything to win" mentality of her supporters.

Nobody cares if Obama will make the country worse. Even though we see clearly he STUMBLES without his teleprompter and goofs up due to inexperience.

He has had a TEFLON shield on, and voters would vote in Forrest Gump just to SPITE anyone who has been in washington before.

Since media hype and voter malcontent are the determining factor, what difference is it going to make.

All you Obama fans better get ready to BACKPEDDLE off you Guru when you see what a fool he really is. I just hope he doesnt start some kind of nuclear war.

Si quieres continuar con tu carrera politica vota por Hillary.

Bill, your platform on experience DID work, this is why people wants you to endorse obama, because he has none. What didn't work was the fact that you don't have a lot of followers. Endorse Hillary.

CNN moderator, please allow me to have my say. Stop cutting me off.

Wow that "independent Californian" is scary. Sounding very cult like.
I've always considered myself a liberal, however after watching this election I have found the only difference between each side is ideology.

If you would speak out against the war it was the conservatives who would threaten you and call you a traitor. If you speak out against Obama it is the liberals who attack, spewing the worst type of vile and threats. Just ask Tavis Smiley. I believe his family was threatened because he disagreed with Obama.

Obama is the democratic version of George W. Bush. Just listen to him speak and his real lack of understanding on the issues. I will not condone this type of behavior with my vote.

I think I will consider leaving this country after this fiasco.

What a loser, typical Democrat all full of himself.

Would it be a surprise to anyone if he through his support towards Billary? Every television appearance he has had since dropping out of the race has been a subtle support of the Billary campaign. …the true surprise would be if he supported Obama!

Hang in there Barack; the best victories are when all odds are against you! Obama 08!!!

John - looks like fuzzy math to me

I think he can go either way. But if he wants his endorsement to have any significance, he should decide before March 4th otherwise it will be useless. On another note, I guess most people still take him to be a Clinton supporter. Thus if he endorses Clinton, it won't make much difference. He can make a little impact if he endorses Obama. That should help resolve this race faster.

Bill…….if you want to do something, do it now. Do you want the candidate to throw tehmselves at your feet? Remember you lost everywhere, so stop trying to be a pretty boy and make a decision. That is what a leader does, therefore if you are one do it.

Everyone stop with childish talk! If you are a Democrat vote your parties candidate. If you are wishy washy you are not a Democrat anyway. If you do not like your candidate, just know that a vote for Nader or for no candidate would only give us 4 more years of Bush like leadership. Everyone stop with the threats! We are not a country of voting demographics (thats for the media) who should be affended by who endorses who. We are a country of Americans who need leadership that makes sense and understands WE THE PEOPLE have the power in this country. Clinton quit crying and playing dirty tricks! Obama speak only the facts! Get behind our next President (Obama) and if someone wants to keep you from that, then they must really enjoy the mess we are in right now.

hi Bill,

I know its been a hard time for you. You are very close with the Clintons. However, you know that Obama is the best candidate for this political party.
it will be nice for you to join the CHANGE party. im hoping to hear good things from you.

LATINAS FOR OBAMA

OBAMA 2008

do you really want someone who's been endorsed by someone who is so biased against whites & Jews. Does Farakan see a soal mate in Obama?? Is this really what we want for our country at this time. Obama is dividing the party, everyone blames Clinton, when it is really Obama with his promises to the blacks that we will rise again speach. That's why they follow him, they see what he is really saying. Our country can not be the teaching ground right now, we're in too much trouble. We need experience. and you thought so too. don't follow the herd, if you are going to endorse someone, endorse Clinton well before the 4th when it will mean something. We realize why EDwards and maybe you too haven't endorsed someone, it's because you both probably have hopes of being asked to be VP. Watch out, it may be Jesse Jackson.

"I don't think this race is over."

I respect Bill Richardson's record and wish he would endorse Obama. However the statement above seems to indicate he will endorse HRC.

He always wanted to endorse Hillary, but when he saw the tidle wave that is Obama, he held back.

The moment Richardosn knows that Obama will win Texas, he will endorse Obama.

He wants to be secretary of state, and he's a good choice too, although I don't like this tactical calculations.

You sheep that are hammering him before he endorses anybody need to be reminded that he forgot more about running anything more than any of you.

Even across the aisle, I appreciate Richardson and the factual statement that he was a far superior candidtae for the Democratic party than either of the two left.

You want to talk experience or actual accomplishments Shrillary?

Your not in his LEAGUE.

I wish he would endorse McCain, the best Democrat left in the race.

If Richardson's plan was to endorse Hillary, he could have done it long time ago. You have to read what is written above people! He already hinted where is going to.

I respect Bill Richardson and believe he would endorse Hillary Clinton. However, he recognizes Hillary's ship is sunk and his endorsement is not going to help her, but he can help himself and his state by endorsing Obama. That's where his endorsement will count for the good people of New Mexico.

Hey Bill, show some true loyalty to the Clinton's. Show us that there really are things that matter more in the party. Things like honor and integrity!

Hillary every president has to win their election based on their record and not that of their spouse. When I choose a female president, she will talk about the experience she brings to the white house not that it takes a Clinton to clean up after a Bush becasue "we" dd it before…

Bill did it not Hillary. Someone needs to let her know that Gore was the Veep not Hillary. Obviously, supporting your husband in his career is what every woman can claim…including the surgeon's wife…can she then claim to be an experienced surgeon because of it? What is this war experience she is talking about? In my opinion, we need a president who will be ready on day one for the job of uniting the party, the country, and the world. That is certainly not a role that Hillary Rodham Clinton can claim to be effective in.
I pray peace for Hillary and Bill as they finally end this chapter of their lives and their quest for the white house…it really is almost time to move on…the writng really is on the wall… Go Barack 08

Seeing a man being this coy is just creepy. Shut up, until you make up your mind. Just exactly what position are you angling for should the Dems. take the White House?

Dave February 26th, 2008 2:16 pm ET

Change vs. experienced. I choose experience because it is less risk.
——————————————————————————————–

Then you would want to vote for a third Bush term … he has now a lot of 'experience' as a president and NOTHING would change. You would be happy.

OBAMA/RICHARDSON '08.

THE LADIES OF VERMONT

Governor - The smart choice would be Clinton. The easy way out is Obama. Obama people think the Clinton supporters will easiy slide over to Obama if he is the nominee, not true. We have a family business and I hear every day, without fail, so many Clinton supporters who will go McCain in November. The Repubicans will have the "Democrats for McCain" buttons ready - it will be a replay of McGovern vs Nixon. As for Florida and Michigan, why is the general electorate being punished? The ligislators and governors broke the rule. The people in these states elected these individuals in good faith, believing that they were competent, well informed and would know the rule and law of the day, they let their constituents down in a big way. If my party thinks for one minute that I will support a candidate that is representative of only 48 of these "50 UNITED STATES", they are sadly mistaken. I will vote Republican for the first time in my life.

He will endorse Clinton. Clinton has the support of the Latinos and that is Richardsons main interest. Hillary has the Latinos interest at heart, Obama just wants their votes.
