Rep. John Larson (D-CT)

Rep. Ann Eshoo (D-CA)

Reps. Earl Pomeroy (D-N.D.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) also endorsed Obama today.

And...there are rumors of a big New Mexico endorsement coming tomarrow...

Clinton has a LOT of mending to do if she gets the nod.

The gentleman from Massachusetts might take the bridge if Richardson endorses Obama.  Wink

Does this mean Obama has promised to pick up Richardson's strict anti desk policies? A daring move indeed.....

I would be absolutely floored if Richardson endorsed Obama.  The entire time he was in, he was running as the "experience" candidate; for him to then endorse the "change" candidate would just be bizarre.

As you might imagine, I'm not exactly expecting it to happen.

VP slot promise, perhap? Richardson is good balance for Obama. And he had said something previously, after dropping out by prior to South Carolina, about being torn between Obama's great vision and loyalty to the Clintons.

This entire time I've been expecting him to jockey for Clinton's VP, not Obama's.

And anyway it isn't as though Richardson has never accepted a bribe before.

Why would Clinton name him as her VP? She has nothing to gain from it, and I'm sure Richardson knows it.

On the other hand, the endorsement, if true, could be Bingaman rather than Richardson.

After Richardson's deal with Obama in Iowa I'd be very surprised if he doesn't endorse Obama.

Supposedly, Richardson's organizers were told to encourage his supporters to caucus for Obama where they failed to make viability. The Richardson campaign denied the rumor (but, then again, of course a campaign would deny such).

If Richardson is serious about ending the war on Iraq, he should endorse Obama.

If Clinton gets the nod, she is going to have a lot of Democrats not supporting her.

+3 superdelegates for Obama - the gap between him and Hillary on this front is getting smaller.

Moveon ran a poll of its readership/membership to determine whom to endorse.

Reps. Jim Oberstar (D-Minn.) and Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president Friday, adding two more House endorsements to the quickly rising total of the Illinois Democrat.

The Mexican American Political Association (MAPA), a political-civic organization with origins dating back to the Kennedy administration, has endorsed Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses. No endorsement was made for any of the Republican Party candidates.

Many political observers and opinion leaders believe that the Latino vote will play a critical role in both the primary and general elections. With less than a week to go before Super Tuesday and tomorrow’s presidential debate here in Los Angeles, MAPA’s endorsement could add to Senator Obama’s “Big Mo” and put him over the top.
