New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, who served under Bill Clinton as Secretary of Energy, has chosen unity over loyalty. The country’s sole Hispanic governor plans to endorse Obama’s candidacy.

In an e-mail to supporters, Richardson said Obama will be a “historic and a great president, who can bring us the change we so desperately need by bringing us together as a nation here at home and with our allies abroad.”

Richardson also said in the e-mail that he was touched by Obama’s recent speech on race in America, saying he “understands clearly that only by bringing people together, only by bridging our differences can we all succeed together as Americans.”[via: CNN]

What took him so long? Do I smell an Obama-Richardson ticket on the horizon?

P.S: When I first heard about Richardson’s endorsement, this story came to mind.

    When I heard about this, it reminded me of an old Dave Chappelle stand-up bit, about how if he was the 1st black president, he’d choose a Hispanic VP, just in case people were planning assassinate him.
    ‘Go ahead, but if you you kill me, you’re just gonna open the border!’ he said. (It’s much funnier coming out of his mouth.)

    @ Riz:
    I hadn’t read about or seen that nice exchange between Obama and Richardson during the debate. A great exhibition of Obama’s fine character to say the least…

    I’d support hillary. Love her smile and her confidence. She always has a positive attitude and that is what makes her outstanding. Everytime I signed in the site ***Mixedfriends.com*** and some men were talking about her and said she is attractive.
