Bill Richardson endorsed Barack Obama today. There seems to be some debate over how signficant this is, but this seems like a bit win to me. Bill Richardson may not have that much influlence over the Clintons in the Latino vote, but it does bring attention to the fact that his race speech is significant to Latios as well as African Americans (as was highlighted in his endorsement speech). Also Richardson's call to back and candidate and focus on McCain as a party is something we haven't really hard the Democratic party talk much about yet (at least not as much as the Republicans were after Romney dropped out).
Lastly, the whole Obama is "a real good guy" seemed pretty significant as well.
