An endorsement from John, flip flop, Kerry is a death sentence. Looks like it'll be Billary against John, establishment, Mccain. I'm voting for Calvin Coolidge!! Any takers?

How can Obama clean up our government yet mingle with them so closely? I think this is bad for his image, if anything, because it defies the underscoring message of his campaign. You can't be a well-connected insider and overhaul corruption. Surely, if other Democrats felt threatened that they would lose their bonuses with his election, they wouldn't support him. Now I am not trying to sway anyone's vote because I believe everyone has a right to their opinion, but I like to keep the facts straight.

In my opinion, the world is a VERY dangerous place, if you think we can exit Iraq quickly, you are wrong. The terrorists will follow us right back. The Democrats are just panderers, they'll tell you what you want to hear. The truth is the Islamic Extremests want to KILL us. What part of this don't you understand. Oh yes, we should listen to them, NO they want to KILL us. Bush is and always has been right, the only way do deal with these people is on the offensive. The true enemy is Iran and until we deal with them we are in extreme danger. If you choose to be niave you are also being ignorant. Please consider.

I would'nt vote for Obama or Hillary for dog catcher! can you people see what the implications of such a disaster are?

If I'm not mistaken, John Kerry DID lose the last presidential election, didn't he?

The people want CHANGE but the politicians want DOLLARS. THAT will NEVER CHANGE! John Kerry's support is about as relevent as that of Jimmy Carter. Both he and John Dean gave away the election by opening their mouths before their brains were in gear. Mr. Obama will have to win the nomination on more than looks, wardrobe and literacy. Both Bill and Hillary are ions ahead of him in political saavy but he does have David Axelrod as his "Image Manager". Over 75 million eligible voters did not even register in the 2000 Presidential election and George Bush won by 5 Electoral College votes. Ironically, had Gore won in Bill Clinton's home state of Arkansas with 6 Electoral College votes, Al Gore would be President today. Kerry only needed Indiana, Ohio and Nebraska (northern States) to win. You can't blame those Florida "chads" for those facts! No one in this election from either party is a Washington, Lincoln, FDR, JFK or Ronald Reagan. Yet the winner will face some of the most important issues ever to be faced by this Republic. Forget your race, forget your gender, forget your religion, sexual preferences and any multi-generational allegiance to a Donkey or an Elephant. Do your homework and get out and vote for the man or woman who you honestly believe will ensure that future generations have a life as good or better than the one you have been fortunate enough to enjoy. Don't let the tail wag the dog. Check the dog for fleas and ticks. Some ticks can kill you! Here is some material you should know or read up on, just to have the facts.

Barack Obama was NOT sworn in on the Quran regardless of what Snopes supposedly says. The Antoin Rezko connection is NOT new as of "today". Rezko is a Syrian born Real Estate and Restaurant tycoon in Chicago with strong ties to Middle Eastern bankers. Before being indicted, Rezko liked to "collect politicians" from BOTH major parties as the NY Times story of June 14, 2007 says and he has allegedly made numerous contributions to Mr. Obama and others over the years. He also organized many fund raisers for Obama since 2000 although the Senator from Illinois denied it. News networks won't report that unless another politician brings it up first. Google their names and check out the NY Times story. If you are the persistent type you can also find excerpts of an interview of Mr. Obama by the "Windy City Times", a pro-Gay and Lesbian newspaper back in 2004. Based on that interview, I think it is safe to say that Mr. Obama supports Same Sex and Gay marriages, or at least did at the time of the interview. That should gain him much support in that community and calm the fears of those who wonder if he is really a Muslim. Those positions would make him an "Infidel" unless some imam has given him "special dispensation"! I was a life-long Democrat because my grandfather told me to be. Now I am an Independent because the future of this Country tells me to be. If other countries don't like us, it is not because of our policies; it is because of our success and freedom to select our leaders and vote our preferences, regardless of how dumb, corrupt or brilliant as some of them may have been. Don't give up that freedom to only one issue, be it color, sex or creed. Hold EVERY candidate responsible to you as their EMPLOYER by getting and staying informed. They ALL hate that but our future generations will love you for it!

This is a good one from Percy Goode, Atlanta Georgia

Why hasn't CNN or the other major networks reported about Senator Obama's Rezco connection. (purchase of a home for $300,000 below market value) Today is the first day it's been reported. Until now, we have not been presented with anything negative about the Senator from Illinois. I have to agree with President Clinton, it is obvious that the media has given Senator Obama a pass. I know it's easy to get caught up in the hype, but I believe the media is not objective at all when it comes to reporting on Senator Obama.

I don't live in New Hampshire,but it sickened me that everyone was ready to "anoint" Senator Obama "King" of the United States. The people of New Hanpshire deserve a standing ovation for giving the country a reality check.

Honestly, Senator Obama is a good person and perhaps if I didn't want Senator Clinton as the nominee I would vote for him, but the way so many people have been transformed into Obamanites is kinda scary. Obama supporters please remember this, we are voting for President of the United States not emperor. He is still just a man.

Sorry to ruffle feathers, but Democrats we need to take a breath and clear the air. This is a Presidential election not a popularity contest. We must understand that after this primary is over we will have a Democrat vs. a Republican. Regardless of who the nominee is, I will support the Democrat.

Thanks

When Obam was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran. SCARY

I have checked him out on snopes.

I have my doubts on this man.

Hillary is the only one who has the cajones to attack Obama.

HAVING OBAMA THE DEMS. CANADATE. IS A CERTANTY THE NEXT PRESIDENT WILL BE A REPUBLICAN. THE REPUBLICANS ARE DANCING IN THE ISLES AT THE TOUGHT OF RUNNING AGAINST A MUSLIM, AND A BLACK MUSLIM AT THAT, I HAVE BEEN A DEMOCRAT SINCE I WAS 21 YEARS OLD, BUT THIS TIME ??? REPUBLICANS WONT SPLIT THEIR VOTES DEMS WILL . THINK!!

Destany January 10, 2008 4:50 pm ET

This means nothing. Kerry is endorsing Barack because he feels that he has the best chance to win…both on the democratic and republican side. He waited up until now to do so which makes it even more obvious. New Hampshire meant nothing to him because Barack trailed Clinton by only 2% (or 3%, depending on the source), which still has him as a top contender. I am voting for Hillary ,and even more so now because of Kerry's endorsement. IN addition, all of this talk about the Clinton's being racist is non-sense.; it has completely turned me off of Obama, even though I once had him in my sights. Look what the media can do…

……..Well if you let the media influence your vote, then you are not an informed, intelligent voter anyway. Stop your excuses man!!! Get off your lazy ass and do your research and have an INDEPENDENT mind and not depend on the media.

I am really on the fence with this one. I'm an independent and I really don't like Kerry; however he did get an "almost win" in 2004. Obama uses an establishment figure with Kerry while running anti-establishment campaign of "change". I just hope Kerry gives the millions of telephone numbers and contacts and get the hell out the way. This is the 1st time in a long time that a man with Obama's skills in bringing hard party-liners together on issues. I just hope that Americans can leave race out of this process, but knowing the Clintons, they won't let it.

I am very pleased that Kerry is concerned enough to express his support. I have a heightened respect for John Kerry. He not only talks the talk but he also walks the walk. Good Luck Obama.

I don't know we (America) has done to deserved a leader such as Obama, but thank God he is on the political scene. Hopefully we will take advantage of this fine opportunity change directions.

Some NOT all of you people on this blog site are just STUPID, here we have a REAL chance to CHANGE things in OUR country for the better but you people are afraid afraid of change. OBAMA can not CHANGE this country by himself, he will need ALL of our help and support, once this is done WE will ALL benefit. Dont you people ever get tired of having the same old lies and crap forced down your throats by the same old EXPERIENCED candidates with their tricks and deceptions year after year after year. Yes, OBAMA is a BLACKMAN get over it! YES, more experience wouldnt hurt and he'll get more in the WHITE HOUSE. OBAMA is still OUR best chance for us to get it right for once. My whole life White men have controlled and run this country and look where we are today (enough said). Get real people, we need a PRESIDENT, male, female, black, white, hispanic (I DONT CARE) just as long as they put the needs of the people before their own personal needs unlike our current president. This man (OBAMA) will give OUR country the best chance of not only getting back on track but he will also help push us beyond our dreams (and it wont take another 200 years). A lot of you guys are coming down on OBAMA for excepting Kerry's endorsement, you say it will effect his campaign in a negative way (I DONT THINK SO, BUT GOOD TRY WITH THE ATTEMPT TO UNDERMIND). OBAMA will be the next president not KERRY so lets stay focused on the BIG picture.

RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT $100 MIL
STUMPING THRU SUPER TUESDAY $10.5 MIL
OBAMA AS PRESIDENT ( PRICELESS )

I don't really worry about who supports who, but the fact is when you have so many coming to back a candidate, that's a really good thing for that candidate. No matter who the candidate is. Obama has received some pretty serious support these past few days. I do think he is the best person for the job at this point. We need change so badly.

On a different note, I really get so tired of hearing all of the griping on here. When did we become such a hateful, pessimistic, self serving, judgmental society? The comments on here are just plain hurtful and ignorant. Why can't we support people and appreciate them for what they have offered our country. None of these men are losers. Each has been elected in their own state and they have accomplished much on their own homefront. I don't think it serves us at all to comment on the accomplishments made these past several years. The bipartisanship in Washington is a very sad and damaging thing. We need someone who can work with all and not someone deemed as divisive. That's just one more reason why we need Obama. Hillary would do nothing to bridge the huge gap between the left and right.

It's okay if you don't agree with me, but let's be mature enough to at least listen and not be so judgmental and hurtful towards each other.

Hey Obama,…. did Kerry cash the check you wrote him for his endorsement from your lobbiest slush fund yet? Talk about a joke, Kerry would endorse Hugo Chavez if he thought it might get him a place in his cabinet. Kerry knows that when Hillary wins the election, there won't be a place for him in her administration. She's looking for winners not loosers. So to Obama, glad he endorsed you, almost makes it certain that you have reached the end of your quest for the nomination.

Birds of a feather flock together…..both are LOSERS.

NObama '08

There goes Obama's chances. Kerry's a goof and the country knows it.

There goes Obama's chances. Kerry's a goof and the coutry knows it.

Hillary has my vote. I am not quite convinced that Obama is the candidate of choice. Though he is very articulate in speech and has something of a chrisma about him ;
, however there is an uneasiness I feel when listening to his speeches. Unlike Hillary, she has proven herself to be consistent and sound in judgment. I feel that if Hillary fixes only one thing while in office (Health Care being my preference) it would be more than I feel Bush has done for this country during his eight year tenure. I am an African American woman and must admit I am excited that in this present day and age we have an African American presidential candidate . Unfortunately , through this excitement I feel a strong sense of disloyalty. I’m not convinced that Obama (though he talk a good game) will fulfill his promises. Hillary on the other hand is my first pick. As a single mother, I feel she can identify with not only political issues but just simple “everyday” issues as well.

Gore backstabbed his ex-running mate Joe Lieberman when he endorsed Howard Dean, so you see Democrats, you have a history of picking running mates that you don't really believe in, and when you lose, you blame them and stab em in the back at the next election.

I would argue, Greg, that Hillary is not using gender but the media can't help but play on it. I think she has responded to some comments and mentioned it a few times. It is not a strategy as it is for Obama. He uses it in every speech now. He did it again today. It's not subtle that the black candidate "channels" MLK. Hillary has her own experience to stand on and doesn't have to stand on anyone elses. I was responding to the comment made earlier that women were using the gender card in regards to Hillary. I assume that that comment stemmed from the misty eyes issue. I also assume he's mad because Hillary won more women that Obama. I'm not voting for Hillary because she's a woman but because she's brilliant, experience, and real.

Ha, Obama bashers keep spelling lose l-o-o-s-e. Good luck getting to the polls (if you're old enough to vote).

That should have been "fit"

aj- I had not even seen your post - it takes awhile for a msg to get posted - may the best candidate for the country win - whoever that is.

The best thing that is happening now is the involvement of so many discouraged CITIZENS who are voting. Barack Obama inspires!.Read his earlier book (Dreams fFrom My Father). Read about his unusual education.his organizing, his wife and her background and their excellent relationship. Family Values? Here! The ability to motivate, mobilize and inspire! Here! Brains.Here! Concern for all others (the heart of religion)! Here! Young, but wise! He got up the CHANGE wagon and the others have jumped on. LET HIM DRIVE IT TO THE GOAL…
LET HIM DRIVE IT TO THE WHITEHOUSE! LET HIM WELCOME ALL TO THEIR
FUTURE!!!

I sincerely believe that if Edwards pulls out of the race (which he should, as it's really a two-horse race) his share of teh vote would go to Obama and not Hilary.

enough already ! why does the media want to shove this obama john doe down our throats?????

are we too stupid and obtuse to think for ourselves and decide who is the best candidate to be commander in chief to lead this nation? i think not

i am sick and tired of all this media hype and fickle polls…enough already!

Kerry was not the right choice in 2004. Now he endorses Obama? “Friends for Kerry” just lost my donation. Anyway, as long as McCain is running, Clinton benefits on those states where Independents can vote in either party.

Every one wants change, change from Bush and Cheney running over the constitution, above the law activities like wire tapping on American, lying so that they go to war in Iraq, CIA leak, torturing and keeping people in prison indefinitely, running over congress to appoint people in key positions, ruining the image of the U.S. around the world, ballooning the fiscal deficit, trade deficit with China, giving tax breaks to wealthy few, giving tax breaks to Oil companies to build more refinements and no show on that, trying vigorously, to drill in Artic ( only one pristine place on earth), giving money hand over feast to Drug companies, making harder for students to get loans, Cuts in National Science Foundation funds, letting logger go than thin down the old growth forest, giving contracts to Halliburton without bidding process, raping female contractors, contractors killing innocent Iraqis and no accountabilities from the contractors or company, Katrina…. on and on…

Looks like any body that is running in the democratic ticket or McCain or Bloomberg/Chuck Hagal Independent can bring that change. At the end, people will look for who can bring about that change with the experience. Why does experience matters after 911? Judge for your self and vote with your head not with your head.

Susan, when has he used the Race Card? He has not been like Hillary using race has a tool like Hillary is using gender. He has more respect than that. Where was she when Ferraro tried or Elizabeth Dole? Dole was a good candidate on 2000, why didn't Hillary support her if a woman matter so much?

The magnificent 7 is a joke!!!!!!!! They all are jealous of the clintons-their great achievements for 8 years in the white house. GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!

This is NOT a plus for Obama. The Republicans will have a field day with this. When Obama was running for Senate he promised to fulfill a full term, he promised not to support the renewal of the Patriot Act or to fund the Iraq war, he changed his position on all these things. I can just see the Republicans waving their flip-flops all over again!!!

If women need to stop playing the gender card, then Obama needs to stop playing the race card. Obviously he shares skin color with MLK - but this is NOT the civil rights movement and, frankly, our biggest problems are abroad. When Goggin from TX (thanks, btw for your state's contribution to national politics) says Obama is our "Political Salvation" he joins the ranks of the rest of the feel-good preachy crowd who prefers the melodic, pseudo-religious speeches to real political brains. If it bothers you that these brains currently reside in the head of a woman, I'm sorry, but they do.

I'm not sure if this will help Obama or not, but I support Obama 100%. People say that he doesn't have the "experience" to make the changes necessary, but there have been plenty of democrats in Washington who have "experience" and have promised changes, none of which has happened. For example, the current democrats in congress.

Life experiences are what should matter, experience in Washington means nothing.

Go Obama08!!

This is a great endorsement for Obama. It seems like Kerry and others are recognizing it is time for America to turn the page and start a new chapter in American politics. This country has been ruled by 2 families for 20 years!!! The Bush's and the Clinton's. America wake up. Can we PLEASE move on.

Clinton is a bought and paid for politician. She has accepted more lobbyist money than any candidate both Democrat or Republican. Obama, conversely has rejected corporate lobbyist money for his presidential campaign, relying instead on small donations from regular people.

Clinton will say what ever she needs to say to win. When the war was popular she was for it. When the war became unpopular she was against it. Now she is lying and saying her initial vote authorizing Bush to use force was not to allow Bush to invade. OMG. She is just crazy.

Let's hope and pray the majority of Americans get it right. Dont make a mistake like we did in electing Bush…do not elect Clinton..Im a Democrat and i wont vote for her under any circumstance.

OBAMA 08!!!! OBAMA 08!!!

Yikes! Talk about adding weights to a drowning man! Obama loses a step upon the ladder of success in NH and Kerry starts sawing away at the remaining rungs…

All — endorsements like these mean nothing, especially from a Frankenstein-face loser like Kerry. If anything, this will hurt Obama.

And you think that an endorsement from Richardson will help? Are you people on this board insane?

This is bad for Obama, Yay!!!

Obama would do well to politely decline the endorsement so as to let 'biz as usual' roll off of his back, it would show confidence and strength, 'course 'Bama's not as smart as you all think, hahaha.

Wake up folks……For those of you caught up in all the spin, here are a few facts for you:
Obama, a two term state senator in Illinois and 1/2 term US Senator from Illinois is the product of one of the oldest (and most established) political dynasties in this country, the Daley machine of Chicago. Yes, the same machine credited for making Presidents of the United States since the Kennedy years. This machine has been grooming Barrack for this election from the beginning of his political life. Talk about insiders, there is no family or corporation more connected in Washington than the Daley's when it comes to Democratic politics. Not one Democratic candidiate has ever made it to the White House without coming to Chicago and kissing the ring of a Daley. And should Barrack make it to 1600 Pennsylvania you can bet your last dollar that payback will forever be the order of the day. So much for being the outsider and champion of the people.

Voted 'Present' on more bills as a State Senator during his two terms than any other representative at that time. Why? So he would not have a voting record that anyone could criticize when the time came to to scrutinize what this man is all about. So much for principal and a person that's going to fight you and I.

I could go on (and on) but you get the idea…….

I'd like to put something down about Hillary just for balance but that person has been under the microscope so long that there is nothing new to tell.

Do yourself a favor and ask the tough questions that a fearful media won't ask. You will be surprised at the answers you will find.

So much for 'American Idol' politics in the 21st century

Procrastinator - Right, because Iran is Cinderella. And Al-Qaeda would happily hand over all of its loose nuclear material to the US.

What is most concerning to me is that either (a) Obama actually believes this could happen, in which case he is delusional or (b) he knows it can't happen and is leading Americans into a false sense of hope anyway, in which case he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Either way…

Ron Larson, how did Kerry "obfuscate" on the swift boat issue? Kerry pretty much denied every disgusting charge of the Swift Boat Veterans for "Truth". If that seemed like obfuscation to you, then that must be because, as a Republican, you wanted some of it to be true.

As a 47-year-old lifelong Democrat who reluctantly supported Kerry in 2004 out of duty to my party, I think this endorsement is a sad commentary on the Obama campaign. John Kerry lost the 2004 Presidential race and was a dismal failure as the Democractic party nominee. Many Democrats are still steaming mad at him for his concession of the Presidential race before all the votes and voting irregularities were resolved in Ohio. I don't see this helping Obama. Instead, I see it hurting him by associating himself with a loser that many Democrats don't care for, and the Republicans will eat Obama alive for it. They remind me a lot of one another . . . pie in the sky academics who basically have a lot of sizzle but not enough steak! They are empty suits that like to hear themselves talk. Looks like two losers to me.

The White House is not a Monarchs' Palace for just two families and absolutely never a Corporation. Let the Greatness of the minds of People like Barack Obama be in the right place and that place can only be the White House, Where every single Governmental Transactions will be as transparent as the result of the November Election. OBAMA!

Obama is the agent of change. If he cannot win the support of Democrats when how can the change begin? ….he cannot do it all by himself. Every support is welcomed!

BOB…the only reason why the race card is beginning to come out is because someone had pulled the gender card. Sen Hilary wanted the women to vote for her because she is a woman. Besides, the smear campaign on race began with Bill Clinton's bashing of the Character of Obama.

Jean, your premise is wrong. Obama has shown he is his "own" man, we can't quite say the same for Hill. So no, I meant he will have advice during the primaries and the general. Not he would be "ADVISED" as your comment suggests. Quit distoring and smearing.
But, I have to be impressed, only Hillary can not only polarize other parties, but now it's women vs. men? Don't force independants to vote republican by pushing her on the country, If another republican gets back in because of Her, she would've single-handedly hurt them for generations to come by the next Rebublican selected supreme court nominee and ultimately R. vs. W.

"Congresswoman Shelley Berkley of Nevada
Former Governor Warren Hearnes of Missouri
Governor Ruth Ann Minner of Delaware"

Nobody cares about those endorsements. John Kerry was the Democratic Nominee in 2004, so obviously his endorsement is infinitely more important than the one of the Governor of the 2nd smallest state.

And Eric, notice the title of the plan you cited: "Secure Loose Nuclear Materials from Terrorists." He means people like Al-Qaeda.

Wow, I can't think of a worse endorsement for Obama to pick up… he wants to be the candidate of change but he has an old-school, silver-spoon fed Senator who already lost a presidential election (to an unpopular incumbent, nonetheless) in his corner.

As a lifelong Democrat who hasn't gotten to vote for a nominee yet I am angry that my choices will likely be widdled down to two by the time I get to vote (Super Tuesday). Personally, I don't think either Obama or Clinton is qualified to be President (Hillary claims 35 years experience, but I don't think attending state dinners as First Lady qualifies as foreign policy experience) and I'm not sure I'll be able to vote for either of them in a general election (for the record, I supported Gov Richardson from the start).

What a shame… it seems that the Democratic party still does not realize what kind of candidate we need to win a general election. Looks like it's time for a serious third party candidate.

I think some are still heartbroken over the loss Bush as I still see Kerry bumperstickers on lots of cars in my town. Regardless, I hope the endorsement helps. Everyone is getting behind Obama because he represents an American spirit we haven't seen in a long while - leaders with integrity. On the other hand, the Clintons' sour-grapes reaction after the Iowa caucus was disappointing (their negative attacks on Edwards and Obama were misleading at best. Not according to me, but according to fact-checkers who are following the campaign.) Initially I was a Clinton supporter but quickly saw that she was less than honest.

I can no longer get behind someone who puts politics first and leadership second(including saying anything to sway people against your opponents). People from all backgrounds love Obama because he's more of a leader than a politician and has resisted returning the negativity.

Thanks John Kerry!

"Hillary's Hidden Hand"

This article will help Obama/Kerry win.

Thank you senator Kerry for looking towards the future. Obama is a perfect candidate for the presidential nomination. The old ways are being done with. The Clintons have done a fine job in their service to America, but now it is time for something new and differant. America needs a revolution in order to continue to be a superpower. Obama is young and ambitious.

i think is good endorsement for obama

Let me see if I got this right. John Kerry? The John Kerry who ran a losing campaign any other Democrat could have won (and he ran it poorly, with money left over to fight a court challenge if needed)? The John Kerry who tried to get into the 2008 campaign but had to withdraw due to "foot in mouth" disease? This John Kerry?

Hats off the John Edwards for avoiding this endorsement and condolences to Barack Obama for scoring it!

I fail to see why anyone would believe this is good for Obama. What has Sen John "Reporting for duty" Kerry done in his 20+ years in the Senate? What is his signiture bill? He is known as a "gold digger" and has not accomplished anything.

She probably told him to stay the hell away from her. Talk about sinking a ship.. his 15 minutes are surely over now.

Sen Obama needs all the support he can get. Left alone, he is running against more than 50 years of the Clintons combined. With the dirty politics played against him in NH, one can only see where the clintonian democrats are taking this debate. If Sen John Kerry supports Obama, its because hes been a victim of negative campaigns lies and deceitfulness from rival camps. ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE; IF WE HAVE NOY CHANGED WITH OVER 50 YEARS OF THE CLINTONS, WE WONT CHANGE WITH THEM IN THE WHITE HOUSE IN 09!

Consider this: Kerry is quick to ditch Edwards his running mate in 2004. would you want a guy like that looking out for your back, in a war?

Liberals are scary.

This is the kind of BS that Obama is pushing - thanks for the link to his "plan":

Secure Loose Nuclear Materials from Terrorists

Obama will secure all loose nuclear materials in the world within four years. While we work to secure existing stockpiles of nuclear material, Obama will negotiate a verifiable global ban on the production of new nuclear weapons material. This will deny terrorists the ability to steal or buy loose nuclear materials.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ahmadinejad, could you please send us all of your nuclear materials by Fedex and not make any more. Thank you."

There's his "plan", and then there's reality - talk about blowing smoke…

This is a great endorsment for Brack Obama Sen. Kerry is a great help because with him and Brack working to geather they are unstoppable!!!

Obama is hurting… Not only did he bring in Kerry but hasn't anyone noticed the race card has come out. Kerry in his endosement speech and Obama in his speech after losing NH both came right out of MLK's "I have a Dream."

The endorsement by Kerry is very refreshing.I wish Obama well.

This is hardly an endorsement. John Kerry is a phony just like Mitt Romney.
Obama is a wolfe dressed in as a sheep. Does everyone out there know his his roots?
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside
out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the
President of the United States, one of their own!!!

McCain vs Hillary now that is a real contest!

KERRY,,,, The kiss of death, bye Obama

This endorsement is a huge gain for Obama and visible enough to pose a threat to Sen. Clinton camp both directly and indirectly.

seems hilary supporters are MAD about the endorsement and going bongers!
Thanks Kerry for the endorsement and looking forward to other prominent Dems. And BTW Kerry has a very solid Democratic support system in place, do not underestimate him. HIlary and Bill know that. But FYI Al Gore is endorsing Obama! mark my words!

Obam wave really make me sick and nervous to elect another Bush when some headfast about his image or speeches rather his elect ability. Do not forget how Bush was elected. We can’t repeat this! He could be defeated by Republican candidate simply because people like me worry we may lead the country to further wrong direction. He really should stay on job for more years but not just for making history for his selfishness.

There wasn’t one with such junior level ever elected in the past. It means the job really needs a lot of knowledge and skills especially with ever enormous difficulties the US faces now. We exhausted our financial fortune and lost most of friends in the world. We need someone who has broader recognitions in the world to restore our image and trust. Why do we think he is such genius who does not need training rather just “hope”, “vision”? Will he honestly learn rather follow Bush’s footprints to do whatever he wants without discipline?

Let’s vote for Senator Clinton! Do not make historic mistake to kill our dream!

This is great….FOR THE REPUBLICANS!!! John Kerry's voice is not really worth much at all…How many people really thought he was a good candidate? Obama gets a loser on his side…How are they all going to flip flop and back for Hillary Clinton if she gets the nomination? This is one big leaky ship and it's only going to take on more water before November…

I dont know if its really good news or now..but anyways…VOTE OBAMA 08!! AND Lets Go Young people!!:)

1. john kerry will advise Obama if he wins
2. bill clinton will advise Hillary if she wins

scenario #2 is currently a better option in my book.

Women quit playing the gender card. This is Presidential politics, If you can't stand the heat…well you know.

As an INDEPENDANT, (but vote Democrat) If Hillary becomes the Nominee because of SYMPATHY or Bill, I wil DEFECT to the Republicans….and believe me, I have co-workers that see this exactly the same way.

Quit scaring up votes for Hillary, If Obama falls flat, he'll be out in 4 years and Hillary can have it, but unless we reconcile this country, It's only going to get worse. Only Obama working hard for ALL of us, can do that.

The advice of a senior sage like Kerry SHOULD benefit Obama, in the end.

I am also going to " unsubscribe" from John Kerry's e- mail list. I don' t really care who he supports but it was premature to endorse Obama when Edwards still is in the race. He can' t possibly think Obama is the most qualified. I understand the initial feeling that Obama will unify the country because of his lofty rhetoric that appeals to all kinds of people but he needs to use that rhetoric to get things done on his current job - what has he accomplished? Furthermore, Obama and Edwards have played right along with the sexist media bashing of Hillary by double teaming her inthe debates and using dismissive language about her while campaigning. So how is that for unity? As a woman, I feel if Obama wins over Hillary's competence I will feel like totally disenfranchised voter. Same good ole boys' club - and that is status quo.

Justin: You belied your own post. You posted:

"There's such a contrast between the Hillary supporters and Obama's. All the Obama people say things, in nearly every post I read, like "Go Obama" or "WE HAVE HOPE!" But there are a large number of Hillary supporters who immediately put him down (using the same exact rhetoric as Hillary and Bill Clinton, I might add). Can't you promote your candidate without knocking others down, or is that your last hope?"

Can't YOU support your candidate without putting others down? Cant YOU support your candidate without trying (and failing miserably I might add) to point out how morally superior you are? I cant tell you how many posts I have read from Obama supporters that have read, " If Obama doesn’t win, I'm moving to Canada" of "If Obama doesn’t win, I'm voting Republican." Get a grip Justin.

We are all involved and are passionate about our particular candidates. But isn’t it time to dial it down, quit frothing at the mouth, and take a look at what a frenzy this has become? This is important. Our nation under the Bush administration is in a shambles. The C
Constitution has been trampled on. Bush has spat on America’s reputation worldwide. One of our great cities lay in ruin. These are troubled times and as Democrats we need to come to together and help our next DEMOCRATIC President restore our nation to greatness. This is too important for us to become so hot headed that we lose focus on what is important. I personally do not support Sen. Obama. But should he become the Democratic nominee, I will vote for him support him. I would hope that who ever wins the Democratic nomination, all Democrats will vote for them and support them so that as our Democratic President, they may finally get down to doing Americas work and restoring our national dignity.

Funny… I didn't see CNN touting any of Hillary's endorsements of the past 24-hours.

Congresswoman Shelley Berkley of Nevada
Former Governor Warren Hearnes of Missouri
Governor Ruth Ann Minner of Delaware

Biased reporting, or just not important enough for a spot on "The" Ticker?

Kerry is absouluetly right! This whole fuss about experience! Accurate judgement is much much better than experience! Just try it. Obama is the right guy!

"Senator John Kerry endorsed the presidential candidacy of Senator Barack Obama at a rally here on Thursday, the FIRST of several high-profile Democrats expected to announce their support for Mr. Obama in his fight to win the party’s nomination."
-NYT

Who's next?

And by the way. Who are any of you to question John Kerry's heroism during Vietnam? Disrespect losers.

Hopefully Edwards will take the hint and drop out. By now I think even Elizabeth realizes he doesn't stand a chance!

I’m always impressed at peoples ability to want and need one thing and allow there actions to provide them with the opposite.

I have been a Republican my whole life but watching them over the past twenty years has me voting for the Democratic ticket for the first time in 08. That is of course assuming that Billary isn’t the Democratic choice. Didn’t we learn anything the first time around? President Clinton embarrassed himself and this country time after time after time. OK, I agree, that seems to happen in America with our Presidents but why would you choose it twice in a row from the same camp?

I want to vote Democratic this year to end the war and change this country. Hillary will not do that and I think will only make it worse! Either way I’ve had enough of the Clintons to last me a life time without making one of them President all over again.

Wanting and needing one thing but voting the other. Crazy. Clinton Crazy!!!!

Nice!
We got Oprah, Powell, Kerry maybe Al Gore

The Team is finalizing

Kerry would of won that election in 2004 if ohio was using paper ballots!!

I just unsubscribed from John Kerry's info email list……GO HILLARY!!!!

Here is another FUN FACT.

Notice how there hasnt been any POLLS since Clinton won NH ???

No bounce for Hillary? No HYPING suggesting she now has more support?

Since the NH primary

John Kerry and 2 others have supported Obama. And 2 unions in nevada.

GUESS WHAT ?

THERE WILL BE A WHOLE PILE OF POLLS THAT ARE NOW GOING TO BE CONDUCTED AFTER THIS FRESH BATCH OF HYPED SUPPORT for Obama.

When is John Edwards going to give up his rhetoric about the "status quo" in his speeches? It seems like every time there is a sound bite or a story about him, he's always saying the exact same thing, change, change, change, and the status quo! It appears he's being hypocritical about the status quo, he's a former Senator himself, lost his first run for President, former Vice Presidential Candidate, and now he's running again with what appears to be the same results. How can he expect people to believe that he ISN'T the status quo? The only reason he came in second in Iowa, by about a half percent I remind you, is because he was the SECOND choice of more people than Hillary. She got most of her votes on the first try. I wouldn't really call that a victory for him. Look what happened in New Hampshire, where everyone's vote stayed with the person they originally wanted! He came in a distant third! It looks like the people of New Hampshire got this one right when it comes to Edwards.

For Obama speaking about so much change, getting an endorsment from such an insider seems like no change to me. Kerry is the ultimite insider, and that's what Dean was running against last time, the status quo. I don't feel any different towards Obama with this endorsment. For me it's like "So what".

That is good for Obama and democrats. It will be better to concentrate on only two candidates.

"know very well that you were the winner of 2004 election."

As much as Bush may have failed as President, he won in 2004 and to dispute that is both ignorant and demonstrative of the kind of behavior that has allowed for the profound deterioration of political integrity. Democrat or Republican, we better all start learning to work together in this country and not just claim that "someone must have cheated" when we don't get our way.

Democracy is imperfect, but it is the best system out there. And we need to respect and support it and that means respecting and supporting the position of President even if the person occupying it is not our personal selection.

May the best candidate win and then leave it at that!! Conspiracy theories and "poor sport" attitudes do NOTHING but further polarize the nation!!!!!!

Kerry supports Obama!!! What a traitor. I voted for Kerry against Bush in 2004 for obvious reasons, the top of the list being–Bush is a dunce. However, to undercut your partner like that shows me that Kerry is just a robot of a politician who lacks a conscience. I tended towards Clinton but bottom line is, my mind is made up. I will vote for Edwards on super Tuesday.

Excellent!

Winning the nomination is at hand!

Barack bin Obama is a great man of character and religion, and is good for the country.

The New Hampshire polls showed that the economy was the #1 issue for voters, except maybe the youngest. Let's not forget that it was Bill Clinton that signed NAFTA and CAFTA that sent our manufacturing jobs to Mexico and overseas. Let's not forget that it is not just the manufacturing jobs that are now being lost, but the jobs that the younger generation are now going to college for. Remember NAFTA, that thing that Hillary just couldn't remember in the debate, that happened when she was gaining all of that experience that she wants everyone to think that she has.

This was not a rebuff to Edwards. More so Clinton should be taking stock of the parade of Congresspeople who are endorsing Obama. I know she has a bunch of endorsements in her pocket…is now the time to unleash them?

this is not a good sign - obama is for change, he's the "anti-Washington" candidate but here he's already allying with a "career politician"

Why is this surprising or a slap in the face? Kerry thought Edwards was extremely qualified for the VP slot 4 years ago, so why not the same again: Obama/Edwards. They were a good tag team against Hilary in the debates, why not Pres and VP, once Feb. 5 is over???

I voted for Kerry once. And I will not vote for him again or do what he say.

Dear John,
Please accept my profound thanks

Dear Al Gore,
Might you care to weigh in. I would genuinely appreciate it.

There's only one candidate running who I can feel is real in my bones.

Go Barky-O Go !

6, 1/2 dozen, it doesn't matter. Obama will win on the merits of the man. Read his books, listen to the words… He is our political salvation.

Kerry has to endorse Obama, he wants the Sec Of Defence position, you see under Clinton in goes to Gen Wes Clarke.
What behind the scenes deals must be going on for Obama to pull this one off.
This is playing perfect into the Republican play books, how silent they are on Obama, they figure let the Democrats self distruct by electing Obama, and then the Republican's will slam him like a 747 Jumbo Jet slams a fly on its windsheild.
Obama can win the 100 yard dash, but he can not run or win the marathon.
The Dr Feelgood of the moment Obama train leads to nowhere.
SMELLS LIKE A ROVE IN THE BUSHES PLAN

Many comments have been made. However the one that I found best was by me.
(Not the real me, but the person who posted as me)

It is lengthy but basically ask for the media to report facts and stop acting like the tabloids.

This election is far too important for voters to base their decision on bias, comments taken out of contest, etc. Working voters do not have the time to do the research that would enable them to vote intelligently. Also, most blogs are filled with too many individuals who waste their time with nothing more than posting nasty remarks.

Why would anyone want an endorsement from John "reporting for duty" Kerry? What has he done in his 20+ years in the senate? What is his signiture bill? Oh, I remember. He voted for it before he voted against it!

Don't worry… Kerry is a flip flopper… by next week he'll be supporting someone else. Everyone will get a turn.

Senator Barack Obama DOES NOT QUALIFY to be president of the United States. He is a 1/2 term senator with ZERO experience in the field of international politics and has NEVER been chief executive of any enterprise, including the governorship of a state. The man DOES NOT QUALIFY to be the "leader" of the Free World. To be elected president of the USA without any foundational history would be one the most irresponsible acts that could ever be committed by the electorate of this country, and because of this, I predict that he will LOSE in November BIG…. his opposing challenger (most likely McCain) will completely and totally waste his efforts. I can see clearly how McCain/Huckabee wouid make and incredible team. Not only will the republicans HOLD the White House, they will sweep also the House of Representatives, who now has an 11% "approval rating". Would I ever vote for a black candidate and/or a woman to become president of the USA? ABSOLUTELY…. HOWEVER…. NEITHER one of these two "candidates" qualify to run this nation. Period !!!!

"John Kerry the liberal from Massachusetts" endorsing "Obama the liberal from Illinois" is about as losing a combo as I've ever seen.
Has no one noticed? This country does not elect liberals!
Looks like four more years of a Republican president being served up on the platter to me.

Looks as though only the gullible portion of the electorate, that laps up all the charades of the Clinton camp, supports Hillary. Those that have worked with her, and have seen her operate behind closed doors, don't support her. Why aren't former members of Clinton's Cabinet supporting her? What about Al Gore? Where is everybody? If extracts her "experience" from being a White House insider during hubby's Administration, where is her support? There is none….the woman is a FRAUD….talk about "fairy tales".

Enough of the Clintons. Enough of her BS. Go Obama!!!

Saah/Fanner 50

Do you guys have anything else intelligent to say?

I'm very upset with Kerry's endorsement for Obama. We need someone who has the experience to change our country, not someone who doesn't even vote on the important issues that were in front of him at the time, he only is present…wow what a change. We need Hillary. She has a long record of change for the better. Do a little research ppl, know what they have really done, the one who will take the action….not just talk about it.

This is awesome news and I think it will really help Barack Obama. I mean, if Clinton's folks try to call Kerry a loser, then they would be also talking about John Edwards , his VP Candidate and that would piss off a lot of Edwards supporters. So, I sort of hope they attack Obama because if Edwards drops out, guess who they are going to.

Go Obama !

What did Kerry mean when he said when he officially endorsed Obama, "Barack Obama isn't just going to break the mold," said Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate four years ago. "Together, we are going to shatter it into a million pieces." What's this TOGETHER, WE business anyway??? Horrors!!! You don't supposed he hopes to be Obama's running mate, do you? OUCH.

I was on the fence between Obama and Clinton. Kerry made my decision. Clinton for sure. Kerry is a self serving jerk. He probably thinks he will be vice president. Oh my gosh!! If that happens, I'll vote republican!!!

An Obama is who we desperately need in this Country, someone who can bring about real change.
A Kerry Endorsment would really help. Although Kerry didnt win, His Endorsment still speaks volumes. Why did he endorse Obama and not Hillary (Billary) or Edwards? Think about it. This is a long time politician, The Democratic Party Nominated him the last time round. He has clout, and he would help Obama.
The Clinton have had their fair share of the White house. They should ease off and give someone else a chance. Its not a family business.

Yikes… Does Obama really want the endorsement of the man who should have beat Bush in '04, but couldn't pull it off when the nation was already wanting change?

Couldn't Kerry have at least waited until the convention and let the PEOPLE decide who they want. Looks like YES WE CAN is all about endorsements. Remove yourself from the Kerry mailing list, that's what it was all about.

So what, give me a break, Kerry endorsement don't mean much to me. He lost 2004 elections to an unpopular candidate like George Bush, Who wants to be move by his endorsement.

People voted for him because of Dean's anger, and Bush’s unpopularity.

Well I guess Oprah did not get him what he wanted so he is turning in another direction.

That is a big blow for John Edwards. I think women democrats are now realizing what a huge boy's club it is in the Democratic Party.

I cant wait to see who our fearless leader will endorse.I dont see any of the repukes even looking for his endorsement.LMAO

Les - Challenge the Ohio vote in 2004? There was nothing to challenge. 60,000 votes is tough to make up in any "fraud" your conspiracy brain imagined. As a lifelong Republcan and Ohio resident, we are much more interested here in getting it right. It is called integrity. This ain't Florida. You all blew it there.

And don't take anything from that supposed report the Ohio Secretary of State came out with on our supposd possibilites for fraud, corruption and hackers causing havoc. That was just designed as ammunition for Democrats to challenge in 2008 if they want to.

Kerry is still a cry baby and a loser! A vote for a democratic in this race is vote to kill this country. A vote for Obama would kill this country sooner. These dumb democrats don't know what is good for this country, these early primary voters decided that the most qualified democratic candidate would withdrawal today. It's a shame. The beginning of the end is here today.

The news media never ceases to amaze.

It has been more than a day since Senator Clinton won the New Hampshire primary, and now the media says it was a fluke and will "make Obama a better candidate". Clearly there is a strong bias in the media against Senator Clinton and for Senator Obama.

Now, Senator Obama's staff says that the endorsement by Senator Kerry is an important milestone "because he is still one of the most popular politicians in the Democratic Party"; and the press/media lets them get away with it. Give me a break! If Senator Kerry was still popular he would be running now. He lost to the worst President in history, still popular?

The media in this country is just plain biased against Senator Clinton. And a clear example is how they always refer to her as "Mrs. Clinton" and to him as Senator Obama, how disrespectful. She has been a Senator for six years longer than he has, but the media would have you think of her as a former First Lady, and not as a Senator. They never seem to highlight her Congressional Staff time on the Committee that impeached Richard Nixon, or any of her prior experience either.

Please, don't ever call CNN the Clinton News Network again, what a lie! CNN, MSNBC, FOX, ABC, and NBC still seem determined to shove Senator Obama down the throat of the American voter no matter what.

In my understanding, J.Kerry is just trying to bring the light for people. It is a good
thing. The democratic party is for people not for a family. Other need to progress
and have a chance to CHANGE. Deomocraty means CHANGE, alternance, new
vision, unity -but not an eternal loyalty to someone.

I think anytime a Presidential candidate can get members of Congress to endorse him or her that is generally a good thing. This should serve as a clear sign to Edwards that he needs to drop of the race. Edwards presence in the race only dilutes Obama's support. If you look at the last two primaries if Edwards was not in the race, Obama could have gotten over 45% of the vote in each contest with Hillary in the 30s.

Yeah this has ZERO to do with Hillary. She wasnt expecting his endorsement but EDWARDS…? Wow! its a kick in the teeth. The endoresement should have waited till Edwards dropped out

A few comments here…

First, this is a plus for Obama. Kerry has a nice network out there can help Obama. This also doesn't mean that Kerry will be front and center of the Obama campaign. Maybe he can be used publicly in same areas but It's what Kerry can behind the scenes that will help Obama.

Second, This is somewhat a slap in Edwards face but let's face it, it appears Edwards will not be able to break into the front runner pack with Clinton and Obama. It's understandable that Kerry backed one of those two. I'm actually a Edwards supporter first and an Obama supporter second but it's getting harder and harder for me not to get 100% behind Obama at this point in the game.

Lastly, Flip flopping, I hate this term! I never understood what was so wrong about a politician changing their minds. Anyone who understands politics knows that sometimes there are instances where you need to make concessions. This often means voting against your initial stance. Sometimes there is a fundamental change in voter opinion and since elected officials represent the voters, it only makes sense that in some cases the politicians need to reflect that change in the voters. Currently we have a President that refuses to change his position regardless of the facts. Do we really want a bunch of stubborn politicians that refuse to give and take to get things done or to build a coalition?

I think Bill Richardson will make a much wiser decision than John Kerry,anyone except Obama. Oh by the way, I have read a few comments about South Carolina being all for Obama—– NOT TRUE!!!! I am a S.C. Resident and there are so many Hillary supporters and we all are getting the truth out in all counties thru e-mails and refference to some web sites I'm sure Obama wishes they didn't exist.
The Media appears to endorse Obama, while bashing Hillary,they are not suppose to do this. What are they trying to do? Brain wash the American people,do they think we are stupid? Fear tactics worked the last time around but people are disgusted with what we have now

Yeah, Kerry is the endorsement I would want to have!!! LOL

Yes, this is a done deal. I just received an e-mail from John Kerry's e-mail list, in which he officially announed the endorsement. I more surprised by the timing of his announcement than by his choice. But it is still newsworthy. . . .

I do not vote democrat but if I did I will not give my vote to OBAMA !!!! And Kerry is a complete looser. Poor Edwards…. I do not like the guy either but what a slap in the face!

Kerry should have won in '04 and save this country another 4 years of Bush - he had overwhelming support yet he couldn't. The fact is, Kerry just doesn't have the support - his endorsement for Obama doesn't mean anything.
Hillary '08

This is only a slap to Edwards if there isn't an Obama/Edwards ticket. I think it's clear to insiders that Edwards is staying in the game to push his message, but is expecting to drop out and endorse/possibly run with Obama. With that in mind, Kerry's endorsement isn't meant as a slight to him. My prediction, Edwards runs until South Carolina, then drops out and endorses Obama going into Super Tuesday assuming Obama does OK in South Carolina. If not, Edwards stays in until the nominee is decided.

I'm from NC and I can say wholeheartedly that John Edwards does not much support here. No one can point to anything positive that he did. He promised to serve our needs, but started lobbying for a national office almost as soon as he moved to Washington. So, don't use that excuse as a knock against Obama

That is why he couldn't carry North Carolina in 2004 and he won't again.

I agree that John Kerry's endorsement is a veritable kiss of defeat for Barack Obama. Recall that John lost miserably in 2004 Presidential elections. That meant an overwhelming rejection of John and his crediblity. What's the use with a loser's endorsement? His endorsement will only serve to alienate Obama secret supporters on the Republican side who did not like John in 2004. On a positive note to the Hillary camp, the endorsement amounts to little or nothing in terms of primary and November election victory. On the other hand, if ever it goes down to a Hillary vs. Barack Democratic nomination contest down the wire, John Edward's supporters and sympathizers predictably would switch to Hillary because they could never stomach Kerry's turning his back on Edwards after all the months they campaigned together in 2004. So, it is still Hillary still on the rise and Barack on a steady downward turn. A lot of Hillary - bashing on this ticker and endorsements like John Kerry's - which unmistakably appear as Obama camp distress or SOS signals - won't stop this trend ever.

Is this the same Kerry that insulted many in and out of the American Military when he said just days before the mid-term elections:

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

I wonder if it will have the same impact as Bradley's endorsement?

I think its the time for America to open its eyes and say to the world come and see how we run our election. Thanks very much Mr. Kerry for endorsing Obama at this moment of confusion in our country. You should have been our President three year ago know very well that you were the winner of 2004 election.

*** Obama may be a good at delivering speech, but what people care for is "substance" and "plan" which he neither has. ***

There is absolutely NOTHING for which Hillary has a plan that Obama does not. NOTHING. Economic plan? Check. Health care plan? Check. Plan for Iraq? Check.

Too lazy to do you own research, you have unfortunately bought into the Clinton negative spin machine

That was quite a good speech from Kerry. Pity he didn't perform like that in 04.

Kerry may not get many additional votes for Obama but it does show that the Democratic establishment is ready to go with someone other than Clinton.

Either way any democrat will do.

Jonh Kerry? PLEASE! Obama should run. Kerry has the personality of a wet mop and stood by while the republican attack machine beat him down. His(Kerry) reaction to those attack adds were weak and came too late. People can talk about positive politics but in the end America likes a fighter. Hillary Clinton will take on the republicans(just like she has since the early 90's) and beat them down just like they beat down John Kerry in 2004. She is the canidate which has the best chance of accomplishing REAL change during her terms as president. I really hope Obama will join Clinton. Regardless of his race, he is still a man. Hillary trumps the "change" card because her election will change the gender of our president.

Scott,
North Carolina

p.s. send this to Jack Cafferty, I'm sure the pundents will talk this Kerry thing to death.

ONE GREAT ENDORSEMENT AFTER THE OTHER? IT WILL LET THE HILLARY EATS DUST! GO! OBAMA!!!

What about the biggest endorsement of them all …. Al Gore?

Everybody loves a (perceived) winner….let's see how many more jump on the Obama bandwagon. Keep your head up Hill…it "ain't" over yet!!!

Anyone who says a candadite lacks the "experience" to be president is a moron… Last time I checked, there is only one president, and since no one running has been president before(being married to one doesn't really count), they all lack experience.

It doesn't matter who becomes president anyhow….If its a democrat, the congress will go together with the new president until the next election….Then the "people" will be outraged for some reason and vote a republican majority into congress. then we'll be right back to where we always seem to be….stuck in partisanship…

Its time for Hilary to shed some crocodile tears to get maybe, Ted Kennedy's endorsement.

This is a betrayal to Edwards!
Obama has not accomplished a major task in his short stint in congress. So he was popular in Chicago but doesn't have the credibility to run this country.

All Obama needs now is Hanoi Jane to endorse him.

Wow, the level of ignorance in this thread is pretty amazing.

*** I wouldn't be bragging to much about a Kerry endorsement .He didn't even carry the Hispanic and not even 50% of black vote that pathetic!!! Edwards not loosing anything with this endorsement . thanks Tim Stidham ***

Actually, Tim, Kerry carried an estimated 56% of the Latino vote, and 88% of the black vote in 2004. You may want to look up actual facts before making yourself look ridiculous with inane assertions like yours.

This is only the beginning. There will be many more supporting Obama.

The Unions were either supporting Hillary or Edwards. Now they realize Obama is truly the best candidate and with no skeletons left in the closet.

John Edwards needs to get off the same tired speech he's had the past 5 years. Talk about substance.

As for you PAST JOHN KERRY SUPPORTERS, you need to stop and realize who has your best interests in mind. It's Barack Obama. All the Clintons care about are themselves. "Fairy tale" indeed. Bill has lost some of his audience and it's time to turn the page.

I'll take John Kerry's support any time. Hillary has Lanny Davis (Liebeman's campaign manager).
