Why does John Kerry's primary challenger not support Obama?
In case you haven't heard, Sen. Kerry has a primary challenger for his Senate seat. I've followed the race pretty closely, and have yet to hear challenger Ed O'Reilly support our nominee. In fact, he seems to ignore Barack Obama intentionally.

I know there's a lot of support here for Sen. Kerry. He's a great Senator, and has been an incredible surrogate for Obama and all Dem candidates. His challenger has done nothing to support Dems other than himself, and has no solutions for the problems that face America.

Watch the debate,

read the fact check

and vote in the online poll.

3. Hmmm. A Democratic Candidate who chooses to not
endorse the Democratic nominee for President? He thinks this will help him how? Now or later if he would win the election? What a ridiculous thing to even allow conjecture about. How does he hope to be a force for good in DC for his state if he doesn't do that?

As I don't think we can afford any more pseudo DEMs, was happy to vote in the poll.

6. I think he's after the PUMA vote
And is afraid he'll lose it if he endorses Obama. I can't think of any other reason. O'Reilly has posted on their websites. I guess he doesn't realize that real Hillary supporters are now supporting Obama, and that anyone who would vote for McCain/Palin and their dangerous policies isn't really a Democrat.

That's all I could figure. Why else would a Dem candidate not support the Dem nominee?

8. Answer
if they really aren't a DEM. That's the only conclusion that does it for me.

9. He's got to
prove he's the exact opposite of Kerry, who is Obama's strongest surrogate.


Put another way: O'Reilly is clueless and ridiculous.
