Hear that? It’s the sound of momentum

The Democratic presidential caravan has finally arrived in full force in South Carolina this week, which means it’s time to give prospective voters the much-awaited Talk About Town endorsement.

So without any further ado, we’d like to throw the full weight of this column — and that’s a lot of weight if you’ve seen us recently — behind the distinguished U.S. representative from the great state of Missouri: Dick Gephardt!

~snip~

Legendary rocker Chuck Berry also endorsed Gephardt, but like our endorsement, it didn’t mean a thing. People still have to go out and actually vote for you.

Roll over, Kucinich, and tell Joe-mentum the news.

1. That's hilarious!
I winced when my local US Rep (Elijah Cummings) endorsed Dean so early. I had a feeling that Dean was actually the John The Baptist candidate... you know, the one who paves the way?
Could be Clark; could be Kerry.
Good luck, Clark supporters! He's great!

5. Paving the Way
If Dean is John the Baptist paving the way, it implies that John Kerry is Jesus Christ. That does not work for me.

3. It's the taste of velocity.
It's the smell of foot-pounds per square inch.
It's the feel of changing rates of increase.

4. Someone should tell Joe-mentum Lieberman...
...that his campaign is going Joe-where.

(thanks to Andy Borowitz of New Yorker mag for that Joe-ke...)
