Hispanics Little Brown Pawns
I am a white educated mother and grandmother, and I an highly offened at how Hispanic Bill Richardson is being treated because he stood up to Hillary Clinton and said no!
Mark Penn and James Carville , Clinton minions, are on the smear bandwagon already. Richardson is being painted as a tratior-to what? Are Hispanics just pawns to do Queen Clinton's bidding? How insulting.
Richardson has said he is offended the message the Clinton campaign is circulating is that his only value was to get Hispanic votes and now he can be thrown aside like a cold tortilla.
What a slap in the face of all Hispanics. No one has right to anyone's vote, unless they earn it. Bill Richardson has proven that.
We are citizens not subjects. This is America not the queendom of Clintonia!

The Clintons are only trying to do damage control. Their actions show that they are nervous about the effect of the Richardson endorsement. Their real fear is that other superdelegates will follow suit. Richardson made a great endorsement speech and he will help Obama with the Latino vote in the General Election. Richardson makes him more competitive and strengthens Obama on foreign policy.
And that big state stuff that the Clinton Campaign touts has an advantage, well Obama would probably carry those states as well in the GE, but Obama is also more competitive in the smaller states where real inroads need to be made.
Let's hope that Richardson's actions help the other Dem party leaders find their backbone.
