As noted by our esteemed TPM colleague Hunter Hussein Thompson, my governor, Bill Richardson will officially endorse Barack Obama today. That is not good news for the Clinton campaign. (Sorry idiotic!) One has to wonder why Richardson would release this endorsement after the deadline for print news and on a Good Friday. The most dangerous place in New Mexico is the direct line between Big Bill and a reporters microphone or camera so I find it a bit puzzling that Richardson would time the release of his much sought after endorsement to minimize its impact. Could it be his lingering loyalty to the Clintons? I don't know what to make of it, but it does seem to be odd timing. Any thoughts?

Apparently, from what I just read Joe Lieberman has got his head so far up McCain's ass that he's now speaking for him. Here's the proof:

In Israel yesterday, NBC’s Lauren Appelbaum reports, Lieberman once again intervened when McCain made an incorrect reference about the Jewish holiday Purim -- by calling the holiday "their version of Halloween here.

Jesus! We got Joementum and the Crypt Keeper staggering around the Middle East pretending to be important while Bill's  in Pennsylvania trying to convince a bunch of union workers that participate (as in participate in pro-NAFTA meetings as First Lady) doesn't mean what they think it means, all while he praises McCain?

Jesus Sweating Christ! Can someone please explain to me what "CINC threshold" McCain and Clinton crossed? As far as I can tell they may have had a group marriage with the four of them, but that is the only threshold I can determine from my fortified compound out here in the high desert.

November 4th can't get here soon enough.

Tonight CNN reports:

Florida Senate Democratic Leader Steven Geller and Sen. Jeremy Ring outlined a proposal to seat all the delegates at the convention in August.

The plan recommends seating half of Florida’s 210 delegates based on the results of the January 29 primary.

The remaining delegates could be allocated in a number of ways, including evenly, proportionally based on the national popular vote (excluding Florida and Michigan) or proportionally based on the total national delegate count, also excluding Florida and Michigan.

“I invite the campaigns to endorse our compromise to ensure victory in November,” Ring said.

The Obama and Clinton campaigns had no immediate comment on the plan.

This may be the incentive for the campaigns to finally agree.

“There is no do-over, no mail-in ballots, no complicated math. Just the basic process of American democracy is in play here.”

We shall see. But I’m not sure this falls into the Clinton criteria of seat as voted or do a revote. Obama has restated his position that he would abide by any DNC decision.
