Obama just wants an invite to the party

I like reading political coverage of heavily scrutinized candidates, because often the most delightful personal tidbits will come up. From the NYT article regarding Richardson Plans Obama Endorsement:

At several debates last year, Mr. Richardson often came to Mrs. Clinton's defense as other Democratic rivals criticized her. Since leaving the race, he has spoken frequently with Mrs. Clinton as well as her husband Bill Clinton, the former president, to whom he is particularly close. (They watched the Super Bowl together at the New Mexico governor's mansion in Santa Fe.)

When Mr. Obama learned about the game-watching party, he called the governor. "You know, I'd be good company, too," Mr. Obama told him, Mr. Richardson recalled in a recent interview.

Obama, you could have come to our Super Bowl party, I'm sure. I mean, there were twenty of us in a 10x10 living room, but we would have found you some space on the floor, at least. And I bet Richardson's a guac hog. I like the guy, but look at him. You can tell.
