At first glance, it would seem odd for a rival for the Democratic nomination to spring to Hillary’s defense.
But Richardson is not really running for president. He’s running for vice president, so it makes sense to attack Obama. Not only is Barack his chief rival for vice president, but he can audition in front of Hillary for the role of attack dog, which Hillary badly needs in her vice presidential candidate. Just as Nixon chose Agnew to be his Nixon, so Richardson hopes he can be Hillary’s Hillary.
