Jack Carter, son of Jimmy Carter, endorses Barack Obama |
|
The race now moves to Nevada, where Obama’s people are trumpeting their endorsement by Jack Carter, oldest son of former President Jimmy Carter. As we recall, Jack Carter was originally a Joe Biden man. http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/shared-blogs/ajc/politicalinsider/entries/2008/01/16/uncommitteds_small_victory_and.html

I don't know that this will help Obama, but I'm glad he got it.

4. Carter's a fairly well-known commodity in Nevada... |

having lost a senate bid to Ensign in 2006. I'm not convinced of the efficacy of almost any single-person endorsement -- I think the Culinary Union endorsement matters a lot more that Carter or anyone else, as far as Nevada goes -- but I certainly don't think it hurts.

10. Even though he lost his race to the repug |
|
..he'd had to have an operating campaign network. I don't know much about him but I like his father a lot..all he's done for humanity.

6. I'd love to know who Jimmy Carter supports... |
|
I especially trust his judgment on things related to the Middle East.

19. I agree. I take his appearance with Edwards as tacit approval |
|
and that speaks V-O-L-U-M-E-S to me.

21. Not surprising. Jimmy Carter, whom I love, really hates the Clintons. |
|
Especially dislikes Bill for his incident with Monica. Jimmy is a true sourthern Baptist. Jack support of Obama may be one the biggest endorsements as many people love and respect Jimmy Carter.
