Well, Lt. Gov Diane Denish decided to issue an after-hours official statement in reaction to "News Reports Clearing Governor Richardson and Staff" and boy, is it anything but celebratory.
Is it just me or does that response seem a) skeptical that Richardson's in the clear, b) resentful that Richardson's appearance of wrongdoing screwed up her plans earlier this year and c) an indication that she won't be asking Richardson to stump for her?
