Governor Bill Richardson endorses Obama
Overnight, Barack Obama dealt a blow to Hillary Clinton’s nomination hopes by picking up the support of the nation’s only hispanic Governor, Bill Richardson of New Mexico. This could be a key endorsement for Barack since it may help to shore up his apparent weakness with the hispanic vote. The Governor had this to say about Obama:
“I believe he is the kind of once-in-a-lifetime leader that can bring our nation together and restore America’s moral leadership in the world….
As a presidential candidate, I know full well Sen. Obama’s unique moral ability to inspire the American people to confront our urgent challenges at home and abroad in a spirit of bipartisanship and reconciliation.”
