That will upset things in Nevada a bit. But who will his support go to?

I think he was hoping on more support in New Hampshire because polls had shown him doing as well as Edwards at one point. I blame the media for his fall out.

Any word on an endorsement? If I were in his shoes, I'd stay quiet so I could get a position in either a Hillary or an Obama administration.

I was interested in seeing how he would do in Nevada. Oh well.

Depends whether or not he's still on the ballot. It could pull a Vermont and vote for him despite his having already dropped out.

Clinton presumably. After all, she does well with elderly voters and most registered Democrats in New Mexico are six feet under.

Pity, he had strong credentials. He's the top VEEP contender for the fall, though. I think one thing that hurt him was his lack of candidate skills...he came across unappealing despite the record.

It's a caucus

EDIT: Sorry, I was thinking of Nevada.

I really WANTED to support Richardson.  But he sounded so damned stupid in all the debates and in a lot of his TV interviews, I just couldn't.  I don't know what happened to him, but he mumbled like...well...like George W. Bush.  I wasn't prepared for that, because the guy surely has intellect and a good work ethic.

But in the last debate, when he said he would negotiate with "The Soviet Union" to round up loose nukes, I wondered if maybe he had slipped a gasket.  Or was just "phoning it in" at that point.

I bet a lot of support goes to Hillary. He really didn't push change like Edwards or Obama  did. His voters seemed to care more about experience. I expect they'll give Hillary a boost.

Yes, all four of them.
