Richardson is under investigation by the feds for a pay to play scam during the 2004 election. Obama can’t afford anymore connections to pay to play. There were rumors that Emanuel was going to resign, also. It looks like they decided that it would take heat off of Obama to keep Emanuel, instead of the other way around.
You make very good comments regarding Emanuel.
I scanned this thread and actually I didn’t see anyone else even mention Emanuel.
Which is funny. Cause I would have bet good money that Emanual would have been the FIRST nominee to drop out. Due to his involvement in Blago-gate.
But Richardson beat him to the punch. Oh well. Won’t be long - certainly before Inauguration Day - before Rahm bites the dust.
