Democratic Primary Endorsement Tracker

[Wiz in Wis]

Half of the people on that list are not "leaders"

People can be "leaders" in their community without being elected officials. This is a pedantic point that you would make to smear the reputation of people you've never met just because they support a political candidate you don't like.

So what counts as a significant endorsement?  If I organize a weekly poker night, am I a "leader"?  How about if I organize a bake sale for my local union chapter?

I don't think it's "pedantic" to point out that Warren is making a big deal out of seemingly random people endorsing her just to create a fake momentum narrative and the media is playing along with it.

Maybe you think I'm full of s**t and these endorsements do actually matter.  But if I'm right and "Ron Rosmann, organic farmer" really is just a random farmer, shouldn't she be called out on it?  Isn't that a bit dishonest?  Or would you prefer a world where the media can report "Biden announces endorsement of major Seattle-area leader" and it turns out it was just some guy on Atlas, and nobody can call him out for it?

It's not the Warren campaign. It's Iowa Starting Line saying they are leaders. Stop trying to cast aspersions on the Warren campaign.

I don't know if Ron Rosmann is a "leader" or not (to be pedantic), but he's certainly a cool guy:



“I was chastised by some people who said, ‘why did you come back, if you’re a college graduate?’ You’re supposed to leave the farm, leave rural areas to improve your life.” But Rosmann felt just the opposite; he stayed, in part, he said, because “you could make a difference in a small community” by sticking around...

Rosmann’s father was an early adopter when it came to using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, but after his father passed away, Rosmann says he began experimenting with alternative methods, and by 1983 he decided to reverse course.

One of the major revelations came when he went to a field day at the farm of fellow Iowan Dick Thompson, who had eschewed conventional pesticides and fertilizers in the late ‘60s.

Three years later, in 1986, Rosmann joined Thompson as a founding board member of Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI), a nonprofit organization that has remained dedicated to these goals ever since, and has grown from around 50 farmers to more than 3,000.

Also, in a caucus, having a wide array of proxies across the state to rope in extra supporters on election night is a big plus, regardless of their titles.

He also got the Chris Dodd endorsement today.

LOL,
Biden has to win Iowa first. If he doesn't it's Game Over for him.

But Chris Dodd is from Connecticut, not Massachusetts. Anyway, it's also a big endorsement. If Biden has so much endorsements in Massachusetts, maybe this state's primary on Super Tuesday up for grabs despite Warren's rise.

Stephen Bernard, Former President of the Brockton Area Branch of NAACP
Phyllis Ellis, Community Leader
Rev. Dr. Keith Magee, Senior Pastor & Professor of Social Justice, The Berachah
Church
Matt McDonough, Plymouth County Register of Probate
Ed McManus, Town of Harwich Selectman
Kara Nyman, Rockland Selectman
Marvin Venay, Former Executive Director, Black and Latino Legislative Caucus

C'mon WarrenBiden.  I mean good for him for getting people to endorse him but that's all these folks are -- people -- not "leaders" and not significant endorsements.  What's actually happened is he got 3 or 4 minor endorsements, including the former LtGov from 20 40 years ago, over the last couple weeks, and stacked them up with a bunch of random people to make a bigger number for the headline.

Uh, no?

Remember that time people thought Flores's accusations against Biden were a scheme because she endorsed Bernie in 2016?

Yeeeeeah.

I love it when a 2016 Sanders supporter endroses someone else and the Bros get so restless.

[Gass3268]

Arguably Warren's biggest endorsement so far

The Kenney endorsement is the oddest one so far. How tf is the Mayor of Philadelphia not endorsing Pennsylvania Joe? I thought that was given, given the Philly machine.

Not the best endorsement for Mayor Pete.

Actualmente, ella es una independent.

Edit: was texting a friend in Spanish and didn't switch back in my brain.

Actually, she is an independent.

Not surprising given their connection, though it's good news for Warren that she nabbed an endorsement from one of the most important states in the primary.

Katie Porter > Katie Hill

Official endorsement from Rashida Tlaib.

[They not like us]

The opposite of shocking news: I got an email from Chris Coons saying he's endorsing Joe Biden. The guy who got offended by the President being booed at a baseball game endorsed the guy who would've been hurt by the President's literal crimes. Good going, Chris.

Pretty sure he's been on Team Biden since even before Uncle Joe announced.

Doesn't surprise me, I figured he probably endorsed him much sooner. But relevant given Coons was offended by the recent booing.
