Richardson to end presidential bid
"3" Person race for the Democrats
New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson ended his campaign for the presidency Wednesday after twin fourth-place finishes that showed his impressive credentials could not compete with his rivals' star power.
Richardson planned to announce the decision Thursday, according to two people close to the governor with knowledge of the decision.
They spoke on a condition of anonymity in advance of the governor's announcement.
The Richardson campaign would not comment on the governor's decision, reached after a meeting with his top advisers Wednesday in New Mexico.
Richardson had one of the most wide-ranging resumes of any candidate ever to run for the presidency, bringing experience from his time in Congress, President Clinton's Cabinet, in the New Mexico statehouse as well as his unique role as a freelance diplomat. As a Hispanic, he added to the unprecedented diversity in the Democratic field that also included a black and a woman.

Well, I wonder if John Kerry realizes that he jus cost Obama some votes :lol:
Quote:
Barack Obama has won the presidential endorsement of Sen. John Kerry, the Democrats’ 2004 nominee who lost to George W. Bush.
Kerry, a senator from Massachusetts, plans to announce his support Thursday at a rally at the College of Charleston, said a Democrat familiar with Kerry’s decision. The 2004 nominee will argue that Obama can best unite the country and has the potential to create transformational change, the person said.
Good commercial by Rudy

That is pretty good, especially since he resisted the opportunity to throw in a shot of the towers collapsing.

Also, while Hillary won the popular primary vote by a couple of points in New Hampshire, it turns out they got the same number of delegates, so in effect they tied.

Wow, a commercial by Rudy without mentioning 9/11, i'm shocked!
Re: Richardson to end presidential bid
That is a great ad by Rudy, I love it. As for Richardson heard his speech today. Sad I like him.
Re: Richardson to end presidential bid
I wouldn't be surprised if Richardson quit due to VP overtures from the front-runners...
And it is a good ad by Rudy. Too bad it isn't really for Rudy... :)
