The big question is who is Bill Richardson endorsing for President of the United States? Although Bill Richardson and former President Bill Clinton spent sunday night watching the Superbowl, Richardson has yet to endorse a candidate for the presidential race. He may be trying to secure one of those cabinet positions. He admires both candidates and beleives that he has gotten to know both of them very well. On Super Duper Tuesday he did cast his ballot, but he gave no hint to of which candidate it was for.
Although Richardson is now out of the race, he is still Governor of New Mexico which seems to be keeping him busy. Earlier this week he declared a state of emergency due to the heavy snow fall in New Mexico. The snow fall has blocked roads and threatened structures and Richardson even sent the National Guard to help with relief efforts. So far the damage has cost $750,000. Bill Richardson has appointed Brian O'Neill as the new executive director of the New Mexico Sports Authority. O'Neill had been serving as the authority's deputy director since July 2006. Richardson says he's charging O'Neill with developing a proposal for a multipurpose arena in Bernalillo County. New Mexico has still officially not announced a winner in their primary even though Clinton is slightly ahead of Obama. They apoligize and are counting 17,000 provisional ballots. Clinton holds roughly a 1,100 lead. Lawmakers are putting the finishing touches on a bill to provide $21 million for hundreds of projects earmarked by legislators and Gov. Bill Richardson administration. However, Richardson is threatening to veto the so-called junior budget.
Pretty much Richardson has been doing his job as New Mexican Governor, but everyone still wants to know who he is going to endorse.

The question remains whether Richardson will endorse a Democratic candidate before the nominating convention. I think Richardson should endorse a candidate soon. If the fact that Richardson watched the Super Bowl with Bill Clinton has anything to do with whom he will truly endorse, Richardson should speak up. If Richardson were to endorse Clinton, Clinton would truly benefit from this endorsement. With Obama trailing only 59 delegates behind of Clinton, the endorsement of Richardson for Clinton would be a great push to help her receive the Democratic nomination.
