N.M. Gov Turns On Old Friends, Says He’ll Work to Win Obama Superdelegates

From ABC News:

“I think Obama is a once-in-a-lifetime leader and I felt, by stepping in, I might bring some kind of party unity or a message to others that we have to come together,” the former presidential candidate said on “Good Morning America Weekend” today.

At an Obama rally in Oregon yesterday, Richardson gave the junior senator from Illinois his highly coveted endorsment and described him as “a president who would bring this nation together.” The announcement gave the Obama campaign a shot in the arm after a week of unwanted headlines and dwindling poll numbers.

Since dropping out of the race two months ago, and with both the Obama and Clinton camps actively seeking his support, Richardson maintained that he wanted to “stay loose.”
