Richardson: I never promised Clintons
Posted: 07:00 PM ET

(CNN) – New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson on Wednesday sharply disputed Bill Clinton's reported claim that Richardson promised to endorse Hillary Clinton's bid for the White House.

"I never did," Richardson said. "I never saw {President Clinton} five times. I saw him when he watched the Super Bowl with me. We made it very clear to him that he shouldn't expect an endorsement after that meeting."

Bill Clinton's comments reportedly came during a recent meeting with some California superdelegates. The San Francisco Chronicle reported the former president got "red faced" when the subject of Richardson came up and said, "Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that."

In the interview Wednesday, Richardson acknowledged he was "very close to endorsing" Clinton, but decided not to after the campaign got "nasty."

"I held back. I waited. I felt the campaign got nasty. I heard Senator Obama; he would talk to me continuously," Richardson said.

"The Clintons should get over this," he added.

Petty, dishonest and vindictive. What a tragicomic pair they've become.

I'm pretty certain I won't, but it's depressing thought nonetheless.

There is simply no way that Hillary will be the nominee. No. Way.

I'm going to party like it's 1999, or 2009, when she gives her concession speech.

At this point, I just want it to be Nov 5th with President-elect Obama

when he said Democrats need to chill...I'm going to go put a bottle in the fridge now.

through a Portal In Time that bodes well for hope.

uh, I'm not under oath, am I?

:rofl:

:shrug:

suit his situation! Shocking!
