VAIN BID TO WIN RICHARDSON'S SUPPORT
By CHARLES HURT, Bureau Chief
April 3, 2008 --
WASHINGTON - While lobbying for his endorsement, Hillary Rodham Clinton flatly told New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson that Barack Obama could not win the presidency if he got the Democratic nomination.
"He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win," she said, according to a report by ABC News.
Despite her appeal, Richardson ultimately endorsed Obama - which sent Bill Clinton into a purple rage last weekend during a private meeting with California superdelegates.
"Five times to my face [Richardson] said that he would never do that," the former president thundered.
