Once-in-a-lifetime!

Finally a Democrat has had enough guts to stand up and make and endorsement. If you haven't heard Bill Richardson made a glowing endorsement for Obama calling him, "a once-in-a-lifetime leader." This cannot be good for Hillary, who has been leading in the latino vote. Plus as a superdelegate, Richardson's decision might have sway over fellow superdelegates in the coming weeks. Despite the recent personal attacks and polarizing comments about race, Obama seems to be holding up quite well to scrutiny. Maybe Dems waited to see if Obama could handle attacks that were bound to come in a general election? Maybe the political posturing for VP is starting to quiet down? Whatever the reason, the closer the Dems get to a nominee is great for the party. While Pennsylvania is still a few weeks away, the Democrats really need to take this time and look at the bigger picture. In my opinion, Bill Richardson's decision was the first step for Democrats in realizing that the White House is what is most important.
