4. :kick:

5. But, but but does she have as much clout as

Madonna?

Sorry Clark supporters (hey I like him!) but Madonna is the last person I would be thrilled about to have as my endorser.

[slinkerwink]

6. so Martin Sheen aka the president on the West Wing, doesn't count?

hmmm? :shrug:

[Ripley]

8. Martin Sheen actually puts his butt on the line at anti-Nuke rallies.

Madonna sold her body to the world in a freaking sex book and as a material girl has set back feminism in America greatly.

Hate her music, really dislike her.

7. Here comes NewYorker

to say she endorsed Bush. Anybody but Dean eh?

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is one of the finest voices in the House. I am thrilled to see she may endorse Dean. :bounce:

congressional internship there----it's awesome she's endorsing him today!

15. "Dean’s campaign has a turned a major corner ...

when it comes to minority support" says msnbc. And that's with Rep Cummings, BEFORE Jackson Lee endorsed.

snip>
Although he never used the words “I endorse,” a sweat-drenched and energetic Cummings delivered a speech that highlighted two issues as the reasons for his endorsement; the governor’s stand on the Iraq war and his consistent criticism of President Bush’s administration.

16. I have this feeling that Carol M. Braun will endorse him as well

When/if she pulls out.

They seem to get along well. I expect her to get a cabinet post. I think she'd make an excellent Secretary of Labor.
