Inside Politics: Sharpton Out, Endorses Kerry

[TheDonkey]

Good for sharpton!

[Debi]

1. Depends...

Did he jump on board w/Kerry or start the Republican worms for Kerry group??

[TheDonkey]

3. I don't understand were you are getting at?

Republican worms?

[Doomsayer13]

7. it was revealed a while back

that sharpton had been accepting help in his campaign from a Republican operative, one who participated in the masterminding of the miami-dade violent stoppage of the Florida recount. For that, among other reasons, many find it hard to trust Sharpton.

2. he always said he would support the nominee

he would do great in helping get voters to turnout.

[tobius]

5. How so?

Doesn't seem to be much evidence that he inspired lots of new voters to come out.

[JI7]

8. not new voters

but those who are registered to vote already . it's just as important to get those who would vote democratic and are registered already to actually get out there and vote as it is to try to get new people to vote.

4. Premature

Sharpton has not announced this yet.

[TheDonkey]

10. Sharpton is still in the race, and endorses JK

is this a first!?! :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

[Paragon]

6. One left to go.

:D

[redqueen]

13. He ain't droppin' out!

So :P

[Paragon]

14. *yawn*

No, it's really noble of him...:eyes:

[redqueen]

16. Yawn away, it won't result in you getting your 'one to go' wish!

And regardless of whether you think his staying in is noble, those of us who long for something other than the status quo will keep fighting tooth and nail for him.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

9. Latest from Crowley: Sharpton still in the race, but endorses Kerry.

lol, ok.

[dolstein]

11. Darn! I was hoping Sharpton would endorse Bush

NT

[curse10]

12. CNN is reporting this as well

no linkage yet

[TomSeaver]

15. Let Sharpton

go down to Florida and get the Black vote stirred up. He could be a big help. The Repugs would never win Elections if we could get more of the African American voters to vote. Especially the younger ones

[WI_DEM]

17. so it is down to Kerry and DK

who has already said that it is inevitable as to who the nominee is but he wants to influence the platform.

[goodhue]

18. not yet

I doubt he will "drop out" but rather "suspend."
Also, I doubt he will "endorse" Kerry in near term.
