"Big" Obama endorsement at 6:30

The last "big" Obama endorsements were Joe Andrew and Lincoln Chafee, so take this with a massive ol' grain-o'-salt.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I have honestly no idea who Joe Andrew is.

Maybe this time it'll be someone I've heard of, eh.

Actually more significant than Lincoln Chafee, really.

[Alcon]

Rumors on the Internets say 55% chance it's Edwards, 45% chance it ain't.

Passive-aggression much?  According to Time.com, Hillary Clinton interviews air on all three network evening news programs at 6:30.

ugh.  i really hate the chickensh**ts who endorse after their state has voted.

[Beet]

Obama tends to like to roll out big endorsements after primaries. Who will it be this time?

[JSojourner]

I hope it's someone who does something really ballsy -- like Richard Lugar breaking ranks.  But that's not gonna happen.

Edwards is the safe bet.  I'm sure others are hoping for Gore or Carter to make a commitment.

But advance press releases and news conference announcements are often such crap.  I remember getting them all the time locally.  "Mayor Helmke will make a major economic development announcement this afternoon at 3:30."

You get there and he's cutting the ribbon on a new bank branch that will add 8 new jobs.

So this could be a simple unpledged delegate coming over. I'll be checking after the fact, but I won't be surprised if it's nothing.

(And for the record, I think Joe Andrew was *something*.  Former DNC chair and all...and quite a big name in Indiana.)

[WalterMitty]

like alcon said, we should take 'big' with a grain of salt.

it is probably someone like the deputy mayor for library services of helena montana.

if i were an obama supporter id rather have that deputy mayor than jimmy carter...who is a repulsive human being.  maybe carter can get his buddies in hamas to endorse obama too!

[Joe Republic]

I hadn't heard about Chafee's endorsement.  Interesting.  Irrelevant, but interesting.

former cocaine users like to stick together.

okay that was totally unecessay...

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Hopefully this will actually be big, like Carter, Gore, Edwards, or some GOP or Independent figure.

So why is Bush supporting McCain?

[Flying Dog]

It's Hillary! She's going to be on the interviews endorsing Obama!





K...probably not.

Because he stopped using coke and is a dry drunk.  Obama is still dealing, pimping and looking for white women to rape.  Haven't you been listening to Christian radio?  Haven't you been opening those spam emails?

[Keystone Phil]

Albert Gore, Jr.

my default answer to that question is 'yes'.

but today im dry.  or a 'dry drunk' as jsojourner would say.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Clinton is droping out and pulling her support behind Obama! YaY, ok by to real life, I bet it is Edwards or Gore/Carter.

CNN: It's former Mississippi Governor Ray Mabus

Guess we should change the title of this thread to

"Big" (for Harry) Obama endorsement at 6:30

[WalterMitty]

i could have sworn mabus was in wv campaigning for obama last week.

[Keystone Phil]

i could have sworn mabus was in wv campaigning for obama last week.

He's joking. Mabus already endorsed.

[Flying Dog]

Yeah....he was campaigning in North Bend for Obama a while ago.

i never can tell with vanderblubb.

in fact, i got a feeling vanderblubb is really a leftist trying to make republicans look bad.  you know...sort of what opebo is doing to the democrats.

[Thomas Jackson]

ABC confirms it's Edwards.
