Since Gore, Edwards, and Richardson haven't endorsed Obama yet...

[MethuenProgressive]

... what does that say about their confidence in Obama?
What do they know that Kerry and Kennedy don't know?

[democrattotheend]

1. They haven't endorsed Clinton yet either

So you could make that same argument for her.

At least for Richardson, I think it's a case of divided loyalties...he has hinted that he wants to endorse Obama but feels like he owes the Clintons.

[karynnj]

13. exactly - and Gore had plenty of HRC contact in the 1990s

[joeybee12]

2. It means they're not going to...probably...the time to jump on the Obama

bandwagon has passed since apparently people are experiencing Buyer's Remorse.

[gemdem]

3. These men haven't endorsed HRC either...

...so, what do Kerry and Kennedy know that Gore, Edward, and Richardson don't know?

:eyes:

[sellitman]

4. I hope you didn't stay home from work thinking that one up.

And just why wouldn't that work in reverse?

:eyes:

[SKKY]

5. It says nothing. It also says nothing that they haven't endorsed HRC either...

...What about all those supers that haven't pledged for a candidate. What does that say? I'm not sure I understand the point of your post. :shrug:

[azmouse]

6. Nice try but no cigar.

It means exactly nothing.

[MethuenProgressive]

10. The endorsements of Gore, Edwards, and Richardson mean "nothing"?

Yeah. Ok...

[azmouse]

11. Nice try misinterpreting what I wrote.

[XemaSab]

7. I think it speaks volumes

that Gore hasn't endorsed Hillary.

I may still eat my words, but I think his silence is pointed.

[MethuenProgressive]

8. Wait, all you DUbama's think they might endorse Clinton???

Wow. That's going against the talking points, isn't it?

[KaryninMiami]

9. Maybe they are waiting to endorse--- the PARTY --- which is what is needed most of all now.

That goes for the super delegates as well who have not yet made their endorsements known- they are also waiting to see where their endorsements will be most needed and waiting to see the will of the voters and making sure that regardess of the nominee, we beat McCain.

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

12. Since so many superdelegates have switched from Hillary to Obama...

... what does that say about their confidence in Hillary?

[jackson_dem]

15. It shows they go with the political winds. They can always switch back

;)

[JoFerret]

14. No premature

endorsementitis.

[grantcart]

16. Why have more Senators enodorsed Obama than Clinton?

Why have more Govenors endorsed Obama than Clinton


This makes you wonder especially since they have known the Clintons so long and the Clintons have had decades to build up those personal relationships.



And then there is the curious case of the Senator that knows Clinton the best. Senator Boxer's family is intermarried with the Rodham's and has given her a pro forma endorsement saying only that she will vote for her at the Convention but refuses to publically endorse her and refuses to assist the campaign in any way.

And what makes this really interesting is that Boxer has a very safe seat and is working actively to help elect other democrats all of the time - I get one email a week from her PAC. So what does Barbara Boxer know?

17. Richardson is endorsing Obama today

Describes him as "a once-in-a-lifetime leader." I guess that says plenty about his confidence in Obama. :-)

[Nine]

18. It shows they know this isn't "over."

To all of you asking why isn't the reverse applicable - it's because Hillary and her supporters aren't claiming this is all "over," as Obama supporters are.

[bunnies]

19. *giggle*

So about that Richardson endorsement. How much does your guys opinion mean to you?

[berni_mccoy]

20. LOL. Wooooops! Richardson Endorses Obama! GOBAMA!

[slinkerwink]

21. well, Richardson just endorsed Obama. Thanks for your "concern"

[susankh4]

22. They have been told to STFU

and they will be told when, and whom to endorse.

The cult has taken over the party.

[cali]

23. If you believe what you just wrote

please get help. It's literally insane to believe what you wrote.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

24. 1 down 2 to go! ha ha

[Hepburn]

26. Kick for your reply to the snarky OP!

:evilgrin:

[myrna minx]

25. Well, Richardson endorsed Obama.

:shrug:

[Maine-ah]

27. so, exactly how do you feel about Richardson endorsing Obama?

inquiring minds want to know......

[MethuenProgressive]

32. I think Richardson is still more qualified for the job than BO is.

Those of us who cared about ending the Iraq War backed Richardson.
Those impressed with other things backed Obama and Clinton.
Clinton is my default candidate, because I want to beat McCain in Novmber.

[XemaSab]

34. So you're only supporting Clinton because of electability?

Interesting...

[Ichingcarpenter]

28. Nanny, nanny bo bo

[Johnny__Motown]

29. Richardson endorsing Obama in about 2 hours,, Gore and Edwards playing "elder statesmen" and will

endorse n June.

[democrattotheend]

30. Better change the title

And I don't expect Gore to endorse anyone. If he were going to endorse Clinton he certainly would have done it by now.

[lojasmo]

31. Oops. Sort of jumped the shark there, buddy. EOM

[K Gardner]

33. Oops.
