Bill Richardson

March 22, 2008

Is Bill Richardson the next vice president of the United States or just a modern day Judas? There are pretty good arguments that he could be either or maybe both? It all depends upon upon if you are a Barack Obama supporter or a Hillary Clinton supporter. I do thing it an interesdting point that Bill Richardson came out not only supporting new facial hair, but also switching to Obama on Good Friday.

The decision by Mr. Richardson, who ended his own presidential campaign in January,, to support Mr. Obama was a belt of bad news for Mrs. Clinton. It was a stinging rejection of her candidacy by a man who had served in two senior positions in President Bill Clinton’s administration, and who is one of the nation’s most prominent elected Hispanics. Mr. Richardson came back from vacation to announce his endorsement at a moment when Mrs. Clinton’s hopes of winning the Democratic nomination seem to be dimming.

The reaction of some of Mr. Clinton’s allies suggests that might have been a wise decision. “An act of betrayal,” said James Carville, an adviser to Mrs. Clinton and a friend of Mr. Clinton. “Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic,” Mr. Carville said, referring to Holy Week. The politics of destruction are alive and well in America!

Talk about serious name-calling. This is right up there with Jeremiah Wright diatribes.

But on the otehr hand, Obama’s weakness, and Hillary’s strength could be turned around. How about this scenario? Obama chooses Richardson as his vice president and the Democratic party now has the two largest minorities in America coming together to be the MAJORITY block?

Ah if it were that simple. But who knows, it could be, it might be. Whatever the case, having a major super delegate like Bill Richardson come on board in a bad week where Jeremiah Wright was getting all the play was what many might call, “an act of God”. But I doubt if God is into any of our politics.
