<p>Obama better hope he’s not holding a knife.</p>

<p>Ba-dum-dum! Thank you, thank you folks. I’ll be here all week. Tell your friends!</p>

<p>Yes, but he voted in favor of Hillary Clinton before he voted against her.</p>

<p>I already posted this on the Obama thread. I think a Kerry endorsement could be the kiss of death. I think that the Kerry association hurt Edwards…</p>

<p>Which is more influential (or detrimental), Oprah or Kerry…??</p>

<p>Right wing conspiracy theory: Maybe the Clinton campaign paid Kerry to endorse Obama.:eek:</p>

<p>Has Al Gore dropped the endorsement bomb yet?</p>

<p>“Has Al Gore dropped the endorsement bomb yet?”</p>

<p>Probably waiting until there is a clear frontrunner.</p>

Mr. Kerry, a Massachusetts Democrat who was the party’s presidential nominee in 2004, said he was endorsing Mr. Obama’s candidacy because he believed he was uniquely situated to inspire “millions of Americans to join together and come together in a movement” to demand real change in Washington.

</p>

<p>Would demanding real changes in Washington include getting rid of the DC senatorial empty suits?</p>

<p>According to the media, they knew about the Kerry endorsement before Edwards did. If true, I think that shows a complete lack of respect by Kerry. </p>

<p>Edwards exhibited a lot of class.</p>

Sen. Barack Obama today declined the endorsement of Sen. John Kerry, saying his presidential campaign is about “hope and change”, and he doesn’t want to “send mixed messages.” </p>

<p>Sticking with his new stump speech refrain, Sen. Obama said, “They told us you can’t run a presidential campaign without kissing up to every Democrat who ever rode this donkey to defeat. But I say, yes…yes we can.”</p>

<p>“They told us you can’t diss a former presidential candidate who’s a professional Vietnam war veteran,” he added, “But I say yes…yes we can.”</p>

<p>An unnamed spokesman for the Obama campaign said the endorsement rejection is not necessarily permanent. </p>

<p>“If we get to the convention and our campaign needs a little extra shove to put us over the top,” the Obama aide said, “then we might ask Sen. Kerry to…you know…do it.”
