Governor Bill Richardson (D-NM) the nations only Hispanic governor has publicly endorsed Barack Obama. "Barack Obama will make a great and historic president," said Richardson.
Richardson dropped out of the presidential race in January and has been waiting ever since to apply his next political headlock.
The endorsement gives a major boost in the race for super delegates for Obama and came as a shock to the Clinton campaign.
For those who don't remember, Richardson served as ambassador to the U.N. and as Secretary of the Energy Department under the Clinton administration.
Although Richardson has very close ties with the Clinton's he felt that Obama was the better candidate. "My affection for Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton will never waver but it is now time for a new generation of leadership," said Richardson.
Still in play in the super delegate race are John Edwards and Joe Biden who so far have remained neutral.
I bet you thought there was only one Richardson headlock pic...
