On the 28th, New Mexico Governor Richardson unveiled the state's new supercomputer, the world's third fast computer, which will be used in business, schools, and governments. Furthermore, Richardson demonstrated his satisfaction with the Senate, who passed the Biomedical Research Act, which allows universities to conduct embryonic stem cell research.

Richardson Update Jan. 28-Feb. 3
Although Richardson did not endorse a candidate this week (mostly likely the best choice for him), Richardson did watch the Super Bowl with long-time friend Bill Clinton. Not endorsing was probably best for his own agenda, because if Richardson had chosen Obama or Clinton to endorse, he would have placed his possible vice-presidency chances at great risk. Since Barack Obama has been pushing for Hispanic votes, Clinton could have greatly benefited from Richardson's support. It will be interesting to see, without Richardson's support, the results of the contention between the two candidates for the Hispanic vote in California on Super Tuesday.

It seems almost a guarantee that Richardson is going to run for Vice President. If he had endorsed a candidate, then his chances would have flown out of the window because it is unclear if Obama or Clinton will win. The real question is whether the Democratic nominee will want Richardson to be their running mate. Also, since Clinton has won California without the support of Richardson to capture the Hispanic vote, it seems as though Clinton might have a chance at beating Obama...at least in California.
