Kerry: vote Obama
Sen. John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, sent and e-mail to supporters this morning naming his choice for a nominee this time around:
I want to share with you my conviction that in a field of fine Democratic candidates, the next President of the United States can be, should be, and will be Barack Obama. Each of our candidates would make a fine President, and we are blessed with a strong field. But for this moment, at this time in our nation's history, Barack Obama is the right choice.
Boy, that's gratitude for ya. John Edwards was the Number 2 on the Kerry ticket, but I guess they haven't kept up or something.
Here's my question: how much is that going to help Obama in states where he might need help? Anyone see a bunch of Southern Democrats being swayed by a northeastern liberal with funny diction who many of them couldn't bring themselves to vote for in the general election four years ago?
Me neither.
