Edited on Thu Jan-10-08 07:11 PM by Bleachers7
Endorsements from:

He also raised $1.5 million the day after NH.

He's on quite a run.

2. Out of curiosity..
IF Kerry's endorsement was politically motivated (and I always think ALL endorsements are), what future do you see for Kerry in an Obama administration? There are several positions he'd be qualified for.

9. Sure - the question was open for anyone who knows more than I do (which is
everyone).

I've heard him mentioned as a possible SOS, for example.

7. None. Influential Senators in their sixties do not
give up a safe Senate seat. Even SoS isn't as powerful a position.

12. All those endorsements are worth a woo-
woo :woohoo:

I think the big thing is that he's raised alot of money in last year, & with his great results in IO & NH, & these & other endorsements, that will only continue....No Republican candiate has raised money like Obama...(HRC has outraised all the Rethugs as well....

14. And the fundraising chiefly from individuals, not corporations
A true candidate of the people. I just hope these allegations of electoral fraud in NH (discrepancy between paper/electronic ballots, exit polls) are cleared up soon, because they're casting a pall on the entire primary process.

18. still HRC leads in Nevada, but Poor Obama, I feel sorry for him.
If I had been running Her campaign, and Kerry offered his endorsement,I'd give him a million dollars to endorse my opponent, instead and then i'd write that million off as the most useful advertising expense ever!

John Kerry, arguably our least-liked Democrat (since Kissyface went Dark Side) picked John Edwards for VP in 2004 (after McCain turned him down, they say) and now, three years later, Edwards isn't deserving of Kerry's vote? Edwards is either steaming or happy as hell, anybody know which?

When HRC wins the big prize on Feb 5th HRC should give John and his wife a cruise around the world that will return to America the day after the election because if he's here, he may open his mouth and blow everything for us.
