LA Times: Obama to roll out a series of endorsements during this next month

[TeamJordan23]

Campaign sources indicate Obama hopes to roll out a series of such endorsements and announcements during the long run-up to the Pennsylvania primary April 22 to create a sense of momentum. There's still former Sen. John Edwards out there and, of course, former senator, former vice president and former presidential candidate Al Gore, who's not always had the closest relationship with his ex-boss's wife.

Heard his name a lot during the pug debates :sarcasm:

Didn't Reagan endorse Clinton against HW Bushie? Is my memory faulty?

3. is saying a dead president

from the other side changed the direction of america worse than endorsing the other party over your own?

9. Reagan did radically change the direction of this country, Obama never said.......

Pat Buchanan!

10. Of course, any endorsements that Obama gets will be spun by the Clinton camp to mean nothing.

Any endorsements for Clinton, on the other hand, will be considered by them to be golden, given by those who have wisdom and good sense beyond measure. Wait for it, because it will happen.

Any endorsement by Gore for Obama and a call for Clinton to withdraw would be the final nail in the coffin. Then we would see clearly if she is in this for herself or for the good of the Democratic Party.

11. Very wise to hold them back and endorse at the right time. Stil appreciate Rcahrdon's though.

14. This would explain the strange timing of Richardson's endorsement, and the report that BO had 50 SD

lined up and ready to endorse that Tom Brokaw talked about prior to the TX and OH vote.
