"Bill Richardson is clearly embarrassed that he broke his promise to them. He should come out and tell the truth and admit that he told both Clintons that Obama wasn't ready and can't win."

If you ask me, the whole FEEL of this statement, is false. It just doesn't ring true. "...that Obama wasn't ready...", THAT is coming from Bill and Hillary, who, history has shown, are terrible, terrible liars.
Nasty, too.
Is Richardson going to risk his own reputation by endorsing someone he thinks isn't ready? But even if he would do that, I don't believe he said any such thing. One thing I know: he better stay as far away from them as possible. From now on.

Sounds like Slippery Hillary Rove like behavior continues. Now they are sliming Richardson. In fact, anyone who comes out for Obama will be subject to the Clinton slime machine.

This is typical Mark Halperin bs. Don't believe everything you read on the internets - especially when it comes from him.

Well I for one am glad to see he changed his mind. There is no longer as to whether or not Obama can win, he clearly can win. The only real question is how much will Hillary's kneecapping excercise reduces his chances.
