Richardson: Clinton Backers Practice "Gutter" Politics. The Washington Post reports this morning that New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D), who endorsed Sen. Barack Obama on Friday despite his ties to the Clinton family, yesterday said that "the people around" Sen. Hillary Clinton "practice 'gutter' politics and that they feel entitled to the presidency, a day after an informal adviser to her campaign compared Richardson to Judas for endorsing" Obama. James Carville "told the New York Times that Richardson, who was in Bill Clinton's Cabinet, had committed 'an act of betrayal,' adding that it 'came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out [Jesus] for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic.'" The Politico adds that Richardson's "sharp criticism of the Clintons is especially striking because he often defended Hillary Clinton while he was still in the race -- even in the face of sharp attacks from the other presidential contenders." usnews.com
