After Bill Richardson leaked details of his private conversation with Hillary Clinton, I bashed him up one side and down the other. Now that he is reaching out to the Hillary Clinton, I need to give credit where credit is due. On August 17th, Gov. Richardson is going to hold fundraisers for Hillary Clinton in Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

Money raised will go toward helping Senator Clinton pay down the debt remaining from her historic and hard-fought Presidential primary campaign. After withdrawing from the race in June, Senator Clinton enthusiastically endorsed Senator Barack Obama, now the presumptive Democratic nominee, and is working diligently to assist his campaign.

Do you think that he genuinely wants to atone for his bad behavior? Or contribute to party unity?

Or do you think he wants to reduce the animosity with Senator Clinton to make himself less radioactive as a nominee for a position in an Obama cabinet?
