Richardson was not a great candidate in the primaries. The clintons vetoed him because of what they view as his perfidy. Dont think obama wants to pick a fight with them.

Anger in Arkansas

"Just as the old Clintonites in Arkansas are starting to warm to Sen. Barack Obama, the weekend flare-up over what Clinton ally Wes Clark said about Sen. John McCain's military service is causing a lot of bitterness among state Democrats," Paul Bedard writes in the Washington Whispers column at www.usnews.com.

"Many tell our Suzi Parker that they are angered with Obama's criticism of Clark, the Arky and former NATO boss who rapped McCain by saying on CBS's 'Face the Nation,' 'I don't think riding in a fighter plane and getting shot down is a qualification to be president.'

"Here's what Suzi Parker E-mailed us [Tuesday]: 'Obama can kiss Arkansas goodbye. A lot of Dems are mad that Obama threw Clark under the bus and denounced his comments about McCain. If anything, they think the Obama camp should have just let the comments lie. A lot of the Dems I am talking to are Clintonites but also supported Clark in 2004 [when he ran for president]. Also hearing from Clark supporters who were in the draft movement that the Obama folks must have forgotten Clark has a massive database of supporters that has only gotten bigger since 2004 because Clark has been out campaigning for Dems since then.'"
