BREAKING: Barack Obama endorses "first wave" of candidates...

1. I'm shocked that Amy McGrath (running KY 6th District) isn't on the list. She is in a tough contest.

Former Marine pilot. She can use all the help she can get, as it is going to be close. Shocked.

2. I think you're missing the point...

This is organized by States. The "first wave" is the first 13 States.

4. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

I don't see her name either.

[brooklynite]

6. She's in a safe seat and doesn't need one

[leftynyc]

8. With the abysmal record

of Democrats turning out for midterms, there are no safe seats.

[brooklynite]

9. Yes, there are...

D+29 District. Crowley beat the Republican 83-17 in 2016.

If Ocasio-Cortez thinks it ISN'T safe, may she shouldn't be campaigning in Kansas.

[leftynyc]

11. I don't think she should be

campaigning outside her district but that's a battle for another day.

[NCTraveler]

7. She is going to win by over thirty.

No reason for someone of Obama's stature to touch it considering recent controversy.

[leftynyc]

10. That makes sense

but you can expect the right to make it a thing.

[brush]

15. Wanna bet none on O's list are running against Dem incumbents.

[tonyt53]

13. As in what 13 states? These seem very random.

[oberliner]

3. This says "first wave"

Presumably that means there will be a second and third wave.

[Me.]

5. Good For Him

[Scurrilous]

12. K&R

14. This news arrived

just as I finished entering canvassing data for one of the candidates on that list. The team is thrilled beyond words! She was one of the young Obama workers on both of his campaigns, so having that circle come around is doubly delightful. We'll enjoy watching her walk on air for a couple of days, she's earned it. And then it will be back to boots on the ground. Congrats to all the endorsees!
