"You are a once-in-a-lifetime leader."

Bill Richardson, the nation's only Hispanic governor, backed Barack Obama for president Friday, moved to deliver his much-coveted endorsement by the senator's speech about race.

The New Mexico governor joined Obama at a spirited rally Friday and said the Illinois senator demonstrated his leadership abilities this week with his speech on race. "You are a once-in-a-lifetime leader," the governor said from the stage. "Above all, you will be a president who brings this nation together."

As Richardson said later in his endorsement speech, "si si pwede." Will the Democrats make history and get a man of color into the White House?

Yes, they can.
