<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for The latest in a string of endorsements for Obama from red-state Dems]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by justlou http://www.grist.org/article/boucher-for-obama/ Tue, 22 Jan 2008 03:27:59 -0800 http://www.grist.org/article/boucher-for-obama/1 Exactly right

"And McCain's success has raised an astonishing specter: Republicans may actually have a shot at winning this year."

In a race for the youth and independent voters,
the Democrats will fare much better with Obama instead of Clinton in November.  

Hillary will unite Republicans of all stripes.  While a big segment of disillusioned indie/dems may decide to stay home should she become the nominee.

McCain's success has only been in the depopulated "rotten borroughs".

No major urban center has yet voiced it's opinion on a candidate except Las Vegas.

Viva la Climate Resistance!

Dave, I am glad that you spelled green with a small "g" because this Green will agree with you.  Endorsements are almost never about policy but always about the calculus of votes.

I have seen too many attempts to skewer good people, like Pete McCloskey, on the basis of who "endorsed" them or what contribution they may have received.
