It will help Obama just like any other major endorsement would. Now, when it comes to the general election, a huge majority of Hispanic-Americans will vote for the Democratic candidate, because they know Republicans are racists.

No, not at all. But, in politics, each candidate has a long donor list . Richardson has many political friends … at the state level and federal level..who will now throw their support behind Obama, and many of those are also super delegates. This is very big for Obama, and a blow for Hillary. The Hillary Camp has been after Richardson for weeks. This is not about the voting public… it runs much deeper than that.

I think it shows why he wasn’t a threat in the primaries. He has no loyalty and I also think his choice (my opinion) was racist and he has no leadership skills. All the reason he spoke of against Obama must have been meaningless to him. Wonder what Obama promised the guy if he got the office?
NM kick him out of office

The only thing that endorsements might and usually help is the fact that the candidate is more likely to get money to run the campaign from people that like the endorser, like John Kerry endorsing Obama.

NO, hopefully they will have enough sense to see that Richardson is just doing it to get a VP slot.

Many Latinos already voted for Obama before the endorsement, and will continue to do so. Perhaps a greater percentage of Latinos will now favor Obama, and perhaps some of them will be influenced by Richardson, but Latinos do not vote as a monolith, and it is insulting to treat them that way. People make up their minds about candidates for lots of reasons, and endorsements usually only make up a small part of why people vote for a candidate.
