Comments on: John Kerry breaks his silence, endorses Obama (and a new SC poll!) http://campaigndiaries.com/2008/01/10/john-kerry-breaks-his-silence-endorses-obama-and-a-new-sc-poll/ Obsessive political analysis Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:56:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Robert http://campaigndiaries.com/2008/01/10/john-kerry-breaks-his-silence-endorses-obama-and-a-new-sc-poll/comment-page-1/#comment-267 Robert Fri, 11 Jan 2008 02:17:00 +0000 http://campaigndiaries.wordpress.com/2008/01/10/john-kerry-breaks-his-silence-endorses-obama-and-a-new-sc-poll/#comment-267 What a load of horse manure Sue. Hillary never disparaged MLK. She simply pointed the fact that Obama has compared himself to JFK and MLK, without an iota of the achievement that these men accomplished. This entire messianic aura that the MSM has wrapped around Obama is starting to get to his head. And nobody of substance in the Clinton campaign has made any assassination remarks. You folks have to stop taking all the baloney the blogs post as a matter of fact. None of that idiocy is vetted or corroborated. And if I was Rassmusen I would lay off the polling business for a while. LOL!!! What a load of horse manure Sue. Hillary never disparaged MLK.

That's getting lots of play in the black community. If Clinton is going to cry to get the female vote, I don't fault Obama for doing what he can to get the black vote. I'm a woman, and I think the way that she always pulls out the gender card when things get tough is pathetic. She trying to weep her way to the white house. Who wants this sort of bull sh*t from a potential president?

And you make a good point too, Taniel, about Kerry and Edwards never really being friends.

Kerry doesn’t bring votes necessary, but he does bring institutional symbolism and a nice donor list.

Two observations:

–I don’t know about Kerry, but what’s been reported is that some senators who wanted to endorse Obama held back not entirely because of Clinton’s ‘inevitability’ but out of respect for Biden and Dodd, who have been there much longer than Clinton or Obama, even though these senators knew that neither Biden nor Dodd had much of a chance.
