It'll be Richardson.

He suspended his campaign, exactly for the reason of being able to influence where his pledged delegates go.

But, will they actually go there? The Delegates can go where they want. They don't have to support Obama.

Don't give Obama 19 more just yet.

They don't have to go with Obama, but many probably will.

Some already have:

Barack Obama collected the support of four of John Edwards' Democratic National Convention delegates on Thursday, then gained the backing of a West Coast congressman and a large labor union as he marched steadily toward the party's presidential nomination.

If Obama's smart he'll go with either Joe Biden or Evan Bayh. He needs someone mature who will offset his extreme liberalism (or who will be perceived that way).

Bill Richardson is incredibly liberal, and Obama already has the illegal immigrant vote sewn up, so Richardson brings nothing to the ticket.
