Former UN Ambassador, Energy Secretary, and current New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson announced that he will abandon his run for the Presidency today. Richardson would be a top pick for vice-President or Secretary of State, given his lengthy credentials.
Hillary Clinton has narrowly outraised Barack Obama in Quarter 4, 30 million to 29.5 million.
John McCain has vaulted to the top of the Republican race, and appears to be leading in the next two states of Michigan and South Carolina. First, though, he needs to raise some money. The DNC has started an ad campaign against him, proving his frontrunner status.
A new study has shown 151,000 Iraqi dead. Why? Most of them where women and children who didn't hurt anyone. Who (or what) are we supposed to be protecting again?
John Kerry, the Massachusetts Senator and 2004 Democratic candidate has endorsed Barack Obama. Cynics in my family think that this is the "kiss of death" for the Obama campaign, as Kerry has been widely criticized for running a lackluster campaign against George Bush.
Barack Obama has also won the support of a large Nevada Union, the Culinary Workers Union, which has over 60,000 members (crucial in the tiny caucus state).
That's the news.
