Well that helps me get over the last bit of hurt about Kerry losing. Done with him.

2. That's the first thing I saw when I turned on the computer |
|
and the last thing I expected.

3. Well, if Gore endorses him too.... |
|
it'll be futile to fight the coronation of Obama.

4. I certainly can't speak for others, but endorsements don't mean |

a hill of beans to me. I don't remember who endorsed who two days ago... What a slap in the face to Edwards though. This will hurt him.

5. Well SOME endorsements carry more weight with me. I often use Kerry, Kennedy |
|
and Boxer as my bellweather on what the "right" vote is. So if one of them endorses a candidate, I'm likely to be more agreeable to supporting that candidate.
I'm curious to whether Kennedy will endorse. If he does, I'm thinking he'd go for Hillary.
Interesting --
AND -- did Kerry NOT Endorse Edwards just because of JE's remarks after the last campaign? Or was he never too thrilled with JE to begin with -- anybody know?

7. Not too thrilled to begin with, I think, |
|
but have to think how that went. Was surprised and disappointed at the time. Anyone remember?

9. Edwards really trashed Kerry about a year ago. |
|
Plus, Edwards is not the same man that he was 4 years ago.

6. What a slap on the face to Clinton and Edwards. |
|
What gets me is that Kerry is #3 on the SFRC (Dodd after Biden, then Kerry).
Kerry was there in the beginning of last year when they were having committee meetings about Iraq and the surge. Obama used his time to talk about irrelevant things, not even ask the appropriate questions.
I cannot wonder if some deal was made. Maybe Kerry for SoS? That would be fine with me. Kerry would be a wonderful SoS. I like Kerry almost as much as I like Biden.

one of Kerry's problem is that it takes him forever to make and announce decisions; NOT good for SoS.

10. Richardson probably thinks he's going to get it! |
|
After his debate performances, I rather doubt that.

11. I remember Joe saying "I used to think Richardson was great, but after a few |
|
of his recent comments, I'm not too sure."
He HAS said some goofy things.

I really thought he was sharper than that, but he does have a great resume - just ask him!

12. It has to be politically motivated. No other reason for him to do it. nt |

14. So he's betting she won't make it? |
|
Cause he surely knows those guys demand retribution, right?

I don't know -- but I think if he thought she COULD make it, he wouldn't |
|
risk pissing her off by backing Obama.
