There are a lot of rank amateurs posting here, or so it seems.

The endorsement of Kerry for Obama is NEARLY as big as the endorsement of Clinton for Clinton. Sen. John Kerry was our man in 2004 -- like it, or not. He is exceptionally intelligent, and those who want to belittle him for some minor gaffes at joke telling miss the whole character and substance of the man.

If the endorsement would have been better B4 New Hampshire, so what. The point is, now he has some support from a main stream Dem, and that support did NOT go to Hillary. Also, the endorsement of Patrick Leahy is significant. So what if they want a spot on the cabinet, or what to be part of a winning campaign (more likely), if YOU were Obama, would you turn down support from the last Presidential nominee? You'd have to be nuts, and I'm afraid many of you nay-sayers are.

Come on! Rally your support around our great hope for victory in November 2008 -- Sen. Barack Obama! Study him on the issues. Educate yourselves! He will handily beat McCain, Romney, or Huckabee.

To think HRC will defeat any of these three is, in a word, delusional. If you're a Dem and you want to see our platforms advanced in the next four years, Obama is your man.
