True that it doesn't matter in the overall decision if Richardson flips NM to Kerry. That's why I say if he does it at all it will just be for spite, plus a personal satisfaction of "delivering" (fraud and all) "his" state to Kerry.
Richardson may be making the biggest mistake of his political life, drawing out this vote count. If he keeps it up, he's going to expose the democrats' vote fraud, both in registration, absentee, and provisional ballots. Note that Ohio Democrat honchos are not going down that mistaken path.
