Hillary's the one for Nunez

| | Comments (0) |

Sen. Hillary Clinton picked up a key endorsement on Wednesday as she gears up her Califormnia presidential campaign for next February's primary election.
Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez was named as a national co-chair of her campaign, giving her a major voice to the Latino community and blocking a key endorsement to the only Hispanic candidate in the race, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson.
“Bill Richardson is an excellent candidate, but when it came down to it, I decided that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified to be the next president of the United States,” Nunez said. “The color of my skin didn't guide me in this decision. What guides me is my passion. I think Hillary Clinton is the most prepared to lead this country.”
Clinton, along with other Democratic candidates, are expected to be in California this week for the state Democratic Party convention.
