Richardson's definition of loyalty is a bit skewed...

If you can't take the heat from making an endorsement, then maybe it wasn't the right thing to do in the first place. That was my initial thought when reading how Bill Richardson is now trying to backtrack and claim that he is very loyal to the Clintons.

Bill...newsflash...if you are loyal to someone you don't endorse the other guy...

Basing your endorsement on a speech that for many of us didn't give the type of answers that we really needed is questionable as a reason. Even if it is true that speech somehow had a huge impact on you, it totally buys into the theory that substance doesn't matter that only the ability to give a good speech rather than to demonstrate action matters...

I think you can be loyal to someone and not support them to lead the world. I have a friends I would kill or die for, but I would not put them in charge of a country.

That being said, I think the decision was made more for Richardson to get on-board with the Obama campaign early since it looks like Senator Clinton probably cannot win in pledged delegates and popular vote.
