When Obama says major endorsee it better be Gore

[quinnox]

then I heard it is Leahy....Yawn. Come on, is this the best he can do? I hate it when political campaigns make a big toodo and then when the surprise is unveiled it turns out to be less than spectacular.

1. And what problem do you have with Leahy? NT

[quinnox]

5. my problem is the hype

they make a big anticipation " oh major endorser" then it iturns out to be a guy like Leahy, been around forever and really no big deal!

[NYCGirl]

6. Been around forever is IS a really big deal.

For Leahy
:patriot:

17. Yet you don't think Hillary's experience matters. Odd.

[NYCGirl]

24. If experience was all that important to me, I would've campaigned for Biden. NT

[jlake]

25. I wish you would have.

[NYCGirl]

26. I'm glad I didn't. NT

12. This says a lot about the perception of the two from people that work with both of them...

2. Sorry, as TPM says, it's a biggie. Who am I gonna believe

wittle quinny or TPM?

[Occam Bandage]

3. I couldn't be happier. Leahy is impeccably progressive.

4. I doubt Gore will endorse anyone

He wants to de-politicize keep his work on the climate crisis.

7. Leahy is a long time D and a smart man

this was a good endorsement for Obama while he is trying to shore up core D support. Hillary needs to get a few Senators on board.

9. addition

I see she does have a number of US Senators on board.

Gore won't endorse until we have a clear nominee. Probably around the convention. nt

[polichick]

8. Candidates use pre-announcements to get press...

Which is then followed up the announcement itself and the post-announcement critique ~ what a game it all is!

10. Sour grapes. eom

[rateyes]

11. You mean the...

"If you don't comply with the subpoenas they're won't be any hearings on AG Mukasey, unless of course Schumer and Feinstein whine about it, then we'll hold hearings regardless, and the matter is now dropped" Senator Leahy?

I'm not voting for Clinton, but this endorsement does not endear me to Obama.

13. The whole endorsement thing makes me laugh

As if the notion that if some important person is choosing a candidate I should do the same then! Especially when both camps have lots of important people endorsing one or the other. So which group of important people should I listen to? :D

I have an idea, I'll listen to my own counsel.

[quinnox]

14. lol

I tend to agree with you.

[cali]

15. I know you have a strong dislike of Leahy

it'll be fun to hear what you have to say about Bernie when he endorses Barack.

[jzodda]

19. Its not that...Remember I don't support Hillary or Obama

So I could care less, I just think the entire endorsement thing is over-rated by a large degree, and feels downright insulting to people's intelligence. I know why they do it, would probably do it myself if I were in their shoes but its never going to matter to me.

Now if the one of the main candidates on our side sent me a check for $50,000 that might really force me to endorse the one who sends the money. :D

16. Sorry its only God n/t
