I'm watching the talking heads on CNN. They just went through all the base, self interested motives Richardson could have for his endorsement, didn't even mention the possibility that the Gov. might believe what he said! These slime-balls are one of the biggest reasons we have the problems we have. They used to have a saying,"If it bleeds it leads", That sentiment has given us a press who base all their assumptions on the sleaziest possible angle. Compare some day, any day, the amount of time they spend on facts vs the amount blabbering about "motives", and speculating about what catastrophe and impending doom has been set into motion by a few words that would, but for them, be forgotten in a few days. It doesn't matter what candidate you support, they have all been victims of these lazy and disengenuious tactics, as is American Democracy!

now that comment should make the rest of the super delegates (not to mention latinos, and the rest of americans for that matter) really proud of supporting hillary...

I like Obama and I will vote for him over McCain if for no other reason than Obama will try to end this war, but I'm not sold on him transforming politics into some gentleman's club. It's just a matter of the "lesser of two evils" for me and I can't see all the bickering in D.C magically disappearing because Obama says so. I don't want to get my hopes up only to be let down again by yet another smooth talking, charismatic politician. What are these gifts that Obama has besides his ability to give a good speech and throw out one liners?

Mark Penn's all sour grapes.

Bill Clinton is all unintentional irony.

Hillary Clinton is a walking disaster.

And the small will ALWAYS hate the truly brilliant.

Obama '08 (and '12, too)

the clinton supporters and aides and the monster herself are true haters. they are divisive in nature and angry that bill richardson sees right thru their ugly, disgusting nature. good bye monster.

I wonder what a crazy kind of screwed up face you would make if you actually ATE grapes as sour as this.

Bill Clinton speaking before a small audience today, was fllmed saying something to the effect of "Senator McClain is an honorable man and paid the ultimate sacrifice short of giving his life. He and Hillary like each other a good deal and love their country. It would be great for the country in the general election, if the two of them could have a debate about how to fix the challenges we face, instead of "all this other stuff" that intrudes itself in our politics."

First, one can only consider that he must be fuming mad that Gov. Bill Richardson, his close personal friend and political mentee, stuck his nose at them today by endorsing Barack Obama today. For Bill Clinton to suggest that only his wife and Senator McClain are capable of the right kind of debate, is not only the height of hypocrcacy and arrogance, but also insults the intelligence of all Americans and it's the reason they are going to be given "pink slips". Further, what does he mean by "all this other stuff"?

During Bil's initial campaign for president, we were literally barraged with sexual explosions--Jennifer Flowers, Paula Jones, others not as public, and that's long before Monica Lewinsky. The Clintons have more than Chutzpah as has been touted by some publications. They have the most unethical gall of any pair of politicians in modern history and the country will be so, so much better off when they retreat from the national scene.

Just an aside - Love Richardson's goatee. It give him a whole new look.

Hey pssssst, Huffpo, it's R-I-C-H-A-R-D-S-O-N, not R-I-C-H-A-R-D.

Isn"t is odd that the Clinton campaign placed importance on the John Murtha endorsement, yet just a few days later they are so dismissive of Richardson"s endorsement of Obama.

For the record: Richardson"s endorsement will insure that our swing state of New Mexico will go to Obama in the general election. He will also bring significant numbers of Hispanic voters nationwide to Obama during the campaign against McSame. If these facts are not significant, I have a hard time imagining what is. Do any of the Clinton endorsements carry such gravitas?

Richardson is a heavyweight, and in so far as the primary is concerned, Penn"s sour grapes are transparently hypocritical.

and yet if richardson had endorsed hillary, her camp would probably be calling it the most significant endorsement of her campaign.

can we say "pissed because a member of the clinton cabinet didn't endorse a clinton?"

I swear- the clinton campaign is like a bunch of spurned, pouting 15 year old high school girls.

Of course! Just like the many states and their voters who put Mr. Obama ahead were insignficant. The sooner the superdelegates bring an end to the Clinton candidacy, the better.

Endorsing a man who did not take the leadership in his own church to have a conversation about race is just plain wrong....especially on Good Friday. I would have been more impressed if Senator Obama had gone home to Chicago on this special religious day and started a conversation with the new pastor of his church and the members.

haha Obama'a Base is teh media haha

BTW, this lack of class is not limited to just Mark Penn. If one observes how many times Hillary herself failed to congratulate her opponent, and failed to thank the voters of the states she lost, one comes to the conclusion that she sets this tone in her campaign, and Penn amplifies it.

If you noticed Obama on Larry King last night acknowledging McCain's dismissal of the aide that produced the inflammatory video, Obama also acknowledged that McCain's campaign also reprimanded that radio talk show host who kept repeating his middle name for hate-mongering purposes. It shows Obama is keeping score and remembers good deeds, even by his opponents.
