I don't think many Hispanics/Latin Amercians outside his state even know who he is.

You mean who Richardson is?

I think that many in the SW know who he is, mostly in his own state, but also in the neihboring states. It might have really helped Obama if he got it before feb 5th though, might have helped him in Cali.

My Hispanic American friends here in California know about him and I would expect that to be the trend in the Southwest. It seems to be the rough equivalent of African Americans appreciating the fact that there are African Americans in government and knowing about them.

Anyone who cares and is paying attention knows who he is. If they don't, then they probably don't even vote anyway.

Richardson did this at exactly the right time. Right when the media is trying to bury Obama under racism issues. I hope he can stand strong and come out on top of this media onslaught.

But if Obama took Cali, he likely would have knocked Clinton out awhile ago before this race thing ever became an issue.
