Richardson Groupies Endorse Obama
The Barack Obama campaign has announced the names of the former Bill Richardson Arizona steering committee members that have endorsed Obama. They are Rep. Chad Campbell, US Rep. Sam Coppersmith, Rep. Mark DeSimone, Rep. David Lujan, Rep. Tom Prezelski, Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, Rep. Jackie Thrasher and Rep. Theresa Ulmer.
Whenever I write about endorsements, someone posts that endorsements don’t matter to them. Well, in this case, you’ll have a primary with a relatively low turnout. A few of these folks (most notably Sinema) have some pretty solid grassroots organizations that they can bring out for a candidate.
This list makes for about 2/3 of the Richardson steering committee in Arizona. Not endorsing at this time are US Rep. Ed Pastor, Rep. Sandra Kennedy, Rep Steve Gallardo and Sen. Meg Burton-Cahill.

A friend of mine - a Richardson supporter - is headed to Obama’s camp as well.
