[carpe diem]

...supporting Mr. Obama.

The roster included two of the event’s hosts: William Kennard and Reed Hundt, both of whom were appointed to the Federal Communications Commission, by President Bill Clinton. And Julius Genachowski¸ a counsel to both men (who just happened to be a classmate of Mr. Obama’s at Harvard Law School).

Also attending were: Miriam Shapiro, Susan Riceand Bonnie Cohen, all State Department officials under former President Clinton.
While they weren’t at tonight’s event, the list of Clinton alumni-turned-Obama supporters includes: Richard Clark, the former national security adviser; Charlene Barshefsky, the former U.S. Trade Representative; Anthony Lake, former national security adviser and William Daley, former Commerce Secretary and Chicago native.

There is another boldface name to add to the Obama list: Greg Craig, a Washington super-lawyer who represented President Clinton during his impeachment proceedings. Last week, he held an event of his own for Mr. Obama.

If.

[nevergiveup]

4. Yeah,

that one really surprised me. A Richard Clark endorsement certainly won't hurt Obama.

5. No, it wouldn't

A very big help, I'd say.
