Who Will Richardson Be Rooting For?

N.M. Gov. Watched The Super Bowl With Bill, But Democratic Candidates Are Watching Him

(AP)  Gov. Bill Richardson and President Bill Clinton cheered opposing teams as they watched the Super Bowl game at the governor's mansion Sunday, two days ahead of the state's Democratic presidential caucus.

But a Richardson spokesman said Sunday the two political heavyweights did not intend to send a message to New Mexico voters about who to support.

Clinton's wife, Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton, and her opponent, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, have actively sought Richardson's endorsement.

"There's no message intended by this. They've known each other for 25 years and they're good friends," Richardson spokesman Pahl Shipley said. "It was two old friends getting together to watch a football game."

Richardson cheered for the New England Patriots, while Clinton favored the New York Giants, who are from the state where his wife is a senator.

Shipley said there was no talk about an endorsement from Richardson for either of the presidential candidates, and said it was unclear whether an endorsement would be forthcoming before Super Tuesday.

"He hasn't said he's not going to," Shipley said. "He hasn't made up his mind, and he may not endorse."

He also would not disclose what Richardson and Clinton discussed during the commercial breaks in the game.

"Whatever they discussed was between them. It was mostly a fun evening," Shipley said.

Clinton, who came after Richardson invited him, took a plane from California that arrived in Santa Fe after the game had started. The two had originally planned to meet in Red River, but changed the venue to Santa Fe because of snowfall in the northern mountain ski resort town.

They watched the game in Richardson's private residence with a handful of staff members. Hillary Clinton watched the game while on the campaign trail in Minnesota.

Clinton planned to board a plane after the game and return to California.

Shipley said Clinton and Richardson mainly chatted during the commercial breaks, so they likely did not see ads being run during the Super Bowl by the Obama campaign.

Obama, who is neck and neck with Hillary Clinton heading into Tuesday's nominating contests, is airing ads during the Super Bowl in television markets serving 24 states that are in play on Super Tuesday and beyond.

The editorial board of La Opinion, with a readership of 500,000 the largest Spanish-language daily in the country, endorsed Obama today, praising his "inclusive message of hope" and his "conciliatory style that can reverse the vicious cycle of rancor which has paralyzed (the country''s) ability to come together on major decisions."

Clean slate!!!
Obama,
''08!!!

"Who Will Richardson Be Rooting For?"

It doesn''t matter, all the candidates, on both sides are corrupt. Choose from a pig, or a swine, or a hog, or a sow, makes no difference, its all pork.

So what, lars, none of the people you hate so much can match Bush''s death record.

But as we all know, you like death.

Bill Richardson is a good man, and will make a tuff decision.. I hope that he will support Hillary.. We need her to put America back on the right track..

Is past, prologue?

Please see the article in the liberal Nation magazine by feminist writer Katha Pollitt on Bill Clinton''s alleged involvement in the Juanita Broaddrick sexual assault scandal (http://www.thenation.com/doc/19990322/pollitt).

Also, the original Washington Post story on the same subject written by Washington Post mega-star Howard Kurtz(www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/clinton/stories/broaddrick022599.htm).

Funny how those in Iraq, killing people who are innocent of the false charges used against them, and dying in the effort, are not important to you, but an erotic scandal is.

Funny also how the US treasury is being looted by profiteers from an illegal military hostility, costing trillions of dollars we don''t even have, seriously threatening our economy, and this is also not important to you, but an erotic scandal is.

Your priorities are really strange...

A Clinton / Richardson Ticket wins the northeast, several southern states, California, Florida and puts Texas in play.

An Obama / Richardson ticket loses all of the above.

Your championship of a bunch of scum women is just mind boggling. These women were adults. They knew what they were doing. Had they been home and not out to rub up against some man, any man, especially one as powerful as the US president, then they *** sure wouldn''t have anything to complain about.

As another poster said. There are important issues to be discussed here like people dying, and the US treasury being stolen, and our rights being taken away.

Get real, fella!

[rowdytexan2]

I just pray it doesn''t come down to an Obama ticket at all, unless he''s in second place.

He might make a president in a few years but he hasn''t a clue! Mouthing the word CHANGE and HOPE is good oratory, but in the end it''s going to be a hefty fight to get this country FIXED, not CHANGED!

Keep up the good fight, Hillary!!!!!

[hitah]

The more I think about Hillary or Obama being the next president the more I like it. Taxes will be so high on us working people that I will be able to quit my job and go on welfare for a higher net income! I have taken personal responsibility way too serious! Go liberals go!

Not only that, the dollars that you do get to keep will be worth twice as much.

To be fair enough if Hillary goes back to the white house so does Bill. I think Obama should be the President and have Hillary as the VP. In that case both of them will be put on check and build America. who knows what plans Hillary has, especially regarding nuclear. remember the trip to Khazastan?

[spinster2]

All I can say about the last seven years is the insureance company''s have been watching the hospitals. Everytime I get a raise the insurance company thinks they should get one too.

On top of what their charging me, I have to pay for my daughter''s insulin pump and a hundred dollars a month for her insulin. Once I get the pump paid off, it will be time for a new one.

I take comfort in the fact that my heating bill hasn''t been too bad this year. Thank goodness for global warming. Normally I would have a little extra money but for some reason the Saudi''s don''t know our driving season is over and I''m running about $275 a month in gasoline which I could live with if my wife wasn''t running about $325.

Thanks to the republicans, my taxes are about a $1000 less but somehow I have less money than I did seven years ago even with seven raises.

With that in mind, I would like to vote for hope this election. The problem is that I just can''t afford to.

[colonelray]

Barrack has moved me. Yes, Yes, sip, sip, Barrack has enlightened me, made me feel good. Based on promises that Obama made just this week, I can see the future now, it is bright with everyone holding hands, well actually guns in Idaho, there singing songs, in spanish in California, and Barrack is singing in spanish with them, all illegalls now have drivers licenses, (but no insurance), marijuana is sold in Starbucks, everyone has a good job, we are all united as a people, the middle east is peacefull and all the radical muslim terrorists are now pottery makers and support womens rights. But alas there is more........A few thousand full-term healthy babies are killed each week as our President Barrack Hussein Obama says should happen, the slums of Chicago have been finally cleaned up, the heat is back on, US Ambassador to Syria, Rezcko is in place and Louis Farrankhan is giving speeches around the country about love and peace and how great Allah is...............We are all so happy..

[spinster2]

I have never seen a presidential poll in a big race that didn''t tighten in the last few days and this race is no different. Nobody will be crowned a winner but the race will be in Clinton''s bag just as it''s set up to be. Most of the votes are set up in districts to supress the minority vote who lives in condensed area''s. These districts who may have twice the population of a rural district will get the same amount of delegates as the rural. In other words, the district in a city might have 300,000 people and a rural district may have 25,000 but each get the same number of delegates. Most people are smart enough to figure out the effect this has if they concentrate on it long enough.

At any rate, don''t get caught up in the spin. These liberal media groups are hypeing the chances of Barrack Obama because he is recruiting millions of young democrats for the party but ultimatly people who are truely in the know already know the outcome. Why do you think republican''s have been concentrating on Hillary Clinton? It isn''t because they don''t know how to win presidential elections!

[colonelray]

Where is Obama?
Anne Richards made the theme "Where is George" famous in Texas politics. Well where is Obama? He is not in California, the word is he is not going to New York, He didn''t think the 1.6 million DEM voters who voted in Florida or the several hundred thousand who voted for him even deserved a thanks, Michigan was another no show, a state with the highest unemployment rates in the country. Folks, I think we have been part of a scam. Well Obama, wherever you are, come Wednesday morning it hopefully will be over.
You see when it comes down to it, Barrack cannot take a punch. He never praised Hillary when she won New Hampshire, he avoided Michigan, Florida and now New York. Now that California has gone toward Hillary he has turned-tail and run away. And y%u2019all thought Hillary was weak because she almost shed a tear when the entire media was hammering her 24 hours a day for a week straight. Obama even says that his school yard playmates should not be friends (vote) for Hillary if for some reason he does not win the nomination%u2026%u2026..talk about a baby, a spoiled child. All I can say to my black friends is dump this guy before he spoils it for when a real African American Man runs for President.

"On Sunday, Oprah Winfrey is returning to the presidential campaign trail to headline a California event for Senator Barack Obama.

The goal? Closing the gap with Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in California before Tuesday%u2019s primary. The target? Women voters"

It''s in the bag of Obama for sure. Just as soon as all those desperate women in California find out that Oprah is in town, their going to be jumping up and down like Tom Cruse. It isn''t very often that they get to see a real life celebrity is it?

- How is your chicken tasting today, Colonel? How about licking Hilary''s shoes today, Colonel?

This what you white klan-minded people don''t understand? There are other varieties to Humans'' societies. It''s not all war drumming, McDonald''s feeding, and Evangelical America gospelling. The real change is well beyond changing party for party change, but keeping the same foreign policies. Clinton is navigating in the same GOP right-wing foreign policies, that is causing us to drag the country in such costly and bloody wars. CLINTON IS A PRO-WAR. She would continue the same deficit balance by the end of the year, because the WAR WOULD NOT END WITH HER. She is pressured by her supporters to continue the war in the Middle-East. THE WAR IS DRAGGING THE COUNTRY INTO DEFICIT, with no tacit interior/domestic return on investment.

Don''t cave Bill Richardson. You have so much character and wisdom - please don''t waste is on Hillary. I know how disturbed you were on Hillary''s vote for the war. She downplays that now, but it was an obscene vote that can never be forgotten.

Thanks

[vet_sk]

ColonelRay: As remarkably junvenile your eludued comments about Obama were, I can certainly say you were never even close to being a colonel. In any respect, you should be embarrassed for true obfuscation.
If you did happen to be in the military, how many troops did you lose in your unit. Was invading Iraq worth their lives? What would you say to those who voted for the war resolution? We all knew what the vote meant in 2002. It meant we were going to war for obscene reasons. That cannot be forgotten.

[ramos937]

Suddenly, everybody loves Speedy Gonzales (Richardson). He is also very popular with the national Hispanic population.

My take is that he wants the VP slot. Hilliary is prepared to offer it to him but expects him to campaign for her before Super Tuesday. If he does, the primary election is over as is the general election.

Karl Rove, responsible for the game plan that put Bush into the WH, stated more than once. The WH candidate that succeeds in getting at least 40% of the Hispanic votes will win the WH. If Richardson is the VP candidate, he will bring in over 90% of the Hispanic vote.

BTW, the Republicans, except for McCain, have branded themselves as anti-Hispanic. No way would I ever vote for a national Republican candidate.

Suicides among active-duty soldiers in 2007 reached their highest level since the Army began keeping such records in 1980, according to a draft internal study obtained by The Washington Post. Last year, 121 soldiers took their own lives, nearly 20 percent more than in 2006.

%u2026.look once you play the old racial group grudge card of the white man is being mean to the black man, black man is being disrespectful to the white women thus we hold out her chair for her, it works two ways, it stirs distrust on both side and galvanizes groups against each other which is what it is intended to do, you just can switch it off or out when the audience changes so while it works in one setting SC it wont were demographics are different unless new strings are pulled like Catholics being trotted out ala Kennedys.

This is not code that is wielded it is Psycho Politics and Sociology 101, this type of politics while very ugly and effective to control group behavior is also not victimless politics and can create danger in our communities as it elevates anger not just inflames passion we all need to be careful of the Masterful Puppet Pullers%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026%u2026.

THE IMPERFECT "PERFECT" OBAMA

how can Obama be the honest person if he himself is caught in lies?

how can Obama claim he can do perfect judgement on DAY 1 if he himself makes mistakes on getting involve with a slumlord?

how can Obama claim he can be the uniter if he himself indulge in fights?

how can Obama claim he is the new blood if he himself is part of the old blood?

how can Obama be the bridge to the future if he himself does not have the mastery of past?

a good salesman (OBAMA) can make you drive a lemon car. a good mechanic (CLINTON) can fix the lemon car.

Must reading. See msnbc on Mr. Change playing all the angles on the nuclear leak in Illinois. Change? I don''t think so. You have a very calculating person who will play the angles to his political benefit. Interesting that he voted "present" so many times as a state senator. Frankly, his onslaught of commercials with his harangue has sickened me. The voters need to send this guy home now in order for us to get back our peace and tranquility. Enough already.

The national media is promoting Obama because the

the parent company of NBC and MSNBC. CNN News has
a Jew calling the shots there. Katie Couric is
a political ***. She is about as exciting as watching
a can of paint dry out. Bryan Williams is just about
as bad. The only good legitamate Journalist and
news program analyst is Bob Schieffer.
Barack Obama is not qualified to be president of
the United States.

[realpatriot1]

bookout2,

The parent company of NBC is GE. The only thing you said that''s true is that Bob Scheifer is the best newsperson on tv. Scheifer has not made the contentions about Obama that you so "deftly" imply.

Eh, akona2 is just your typical Republican. Ignore him... they''re irrelevant in 11 months anyway.

Magnanimous of Bill to host Bill for the Super Bowl viewing. Obviously not good when there is such much piling on of Hillary by Teddy, dear Oprah etc. Of course, Bobby Kennedy''s children support Hillary and for good reason. I would suggest TV get a nice closeup of the two Bill''s as they spend this valuable time together to watch the game and discuss politics and the future of the Nation. Thank you, Bill Richardson.

California Edwards Supporters Breaking For Obama?

San Francisco Chronicle
Joe Garofoli
February 2, 2008 09:18 PM

We''d love to be listening in on the conference call Sunday morning when Barack Obama -- and few of his top surrogates -- will be on the line with at least 50 top donors, organizers and grass roots door-knockers who supported John Edwards in California.

Already, at least three of Edwards'' California co-chairs --- including San Franciscans Jeff Anderson and Jeff Soukup -- have decided to go O. Over the past few days Anderson has canvassed many key Edwards players across the state and found that about half are ready to move "and 90 percent of those are breaking for Obama."

Why? With the race tightening to a dead heat in California, many Edwards supporters realize they could provide the difference Tuesday, even without an official blessing from their (original) favorite candidate.

Anderson said Saturday that many of his fellow Edwardians feel that Obama has a better chance at "making real change in Washington as opposed to the back to the future kind that Clinton may bring." ...

Clinton health plan may mean tapping pay

By CHARLES BABINGTON
Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton said Sunday she might be willing to garnish the wages of workers who refuse to buy health insurance to achieve coverage for all Americans.

The New York senator has criticized presidential rival Barack Obama for pushing a health plan that would not require universal coverage. Clinton has not always specified the enforcement measures she would embrace, but when pressed on ABC''s "This Week," she said: "I think there are a number of mechanisms" that are possible, including "going after people''s wages ..."
