I didn’t pay a lot of attention to politics over the weekend, mostly due to the distraction of the tournament. (I was lucky enough to see the Duke-Belmont nail-biter in D.C. on Thursday night.) But I did notice Richardson’s endorsement of Obama. What a blatant suck-up that guy is. Is there any doubt if Hillary was ahead by 100 pledged delegates, Richardson would find some high-minded reason to support her? I know his endorsement is an important sign of which way the wind is blowing, but I don’t know why anyone takes anything he says about it the least bit seriously.
