Buzz up!on Yahoo!BLITZER: All right. So you say you will -- you're about to endorse somebody? You're thinking about endorsing either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama? Make the news. Go ahead.


RICHARDSON: Well, no. I'm going to decide very shortly. But the reality is I think there are too many superdelegates. There are over 800. That's the latest count that I saw.

BLITZER: There's almost 800.

RICHARDSON: Who elected these people? I think it's important that those...

BLITZER: Well, you're a superdelegate. You were elected by the people of New Mexico.

RICHARDSON: Well, that's right, but that doesn't mean that you appoint every big fundraiser, you appoint every governor, every member of Congress, every leader that contributes money.

I just think this should be decided by voters. And in my view, there are too many superdelegates. They have too much influence. I would cut down the number.

But I think superdelegates should vote
more....http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jane-hamsher/a-few-unanswered-question_b_92751.html

1. I like this Bill Richardson fellow.

How come we've never heard of him before?

2. He is a poor excuse for a democrat....

I saw him make those comments on CNN...it was offensive.

3. Sour grapes?

[stray cat]

4. offensive that there are too many superdelegates?

5. He's a life long friend of the Clintons. If he's as bad as you say, what does it say about them?

6. You'd like him just fine if he endorsed Hillary

10. You know it! Bitter, bitter, bitter.

I guess Richardson is DEAD to Hillary supporters too.


:rofl:

8. Why is it offensive to suggest there should be fewer superdelegates?

9. You want a poor excuse for a dem?

Look elsewhere. Bill Richardson is, and has long been, a good dem. You know what I say when Hillary gets an endorsement? Either congrats or nothing at all. I don't trash the person endorsing her. Only shitbird dems do that.

7. What's your point?

Endorsing someone doesn't mean he can't change his vote at the convention. He's exactly right, the voters should decide. I wish Hillary's supporters would agree, then maybe they would face the reality that she can't get enough votes to win.
