Richardson is the worst kind of politician and the worst kind of Judas. He furthermore insults our intelligence with his "explanation" about being impressed with Obama's handling of Jeremiah Wright.
It is beyond belief that someone in a high leadership position in our own party actually could think that Barack’s handling of the Jeremiah Wright affair was in the least impressive, or in any way helpful to our party. We Democrats can like him and some can make excuses for him, but that won’t help our party win in November.

The Republicans know that nobody, absolutely nobody, [including Mr. Richardson) can seriously believe, that Obama, after 20 years,suddenly realized his pastor is a purveyor of racial hatred. And the Republicans will never ever let this go.

However, Richardson was so impressed with Obama's politically-expedient move away from his friend Rev. Wright that Richardson felt compelled to do his own politically-expedient move away from his "friends' the Clintons. Then Richardson has the gall to insult our intelligence with his explanation? Gov Richardson's treachery represents the worst of Washington politics and thus gives the lie to Obama's basic campaign message.
