Kerry to Endorse Obama
Posted by Seth Kramer on Thursday, January 10th 2008 at 9:48amWord is John Kerry is planning to endorse Obama. What does that mean for Obama? Realistically not much. Endorsements have only questionable effect unless it's from someone dropping out of the race, and Kerry is something of a persona non grata in the Democratic Party after managing to lose in '04, and not managing to shut the hell up afterwards. What can I say, we don't like our loser's banging about in the party.
Regardless, the real effect would seem to be a smack in the face of former running mate John Edwards.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Gore endorsement before the Feb. 5th UberPrimary. If he does, he's not planning on getting back into politics ever. He and the Clinton's have plenty of bad blood, but that would be the knife in the back, with a twist.
There's also word that Richardson is dropping out, though his campaign vehemently denies it...for now.
Sorry for all the horserace nonsense. I do plan to pen an essay on policy later.
