Good observation CT. Hispanic vote is not very important in the remaining primaries but Richardson's support will help in the general election. Clinton's must be furious over this give Richardson was a close friend of Clinton's as well as serving on Pres Clinton cabinet. He is also a super delegate and has a lot of influence to sway other super delegates to support Obama. The super delegates that have been sitting on the fence may well come out for Obama in the next few days because of Richardson's endorsement.
