Kerry endorses Obama.
Posted by soopergrover on January 10, 2008
Ok, so let me get this straight, John Kerry came out today and endorsed Barack Obama for president. Sure, fine it’s his right and probably a wise move. But, doesn’t anyone else think that he looks a bit disingenuous since John Edwards (you know, the guy that Kerry picked over all his other choices to be his vice-presidential running mate) is still in the race?
Doesn’t choosing someone to be your VP candidate kind of say, “this is the person who I think would be the best president if, God forbid, something ever happened to me.” Isn’t that kind of the purest presidential endorsement you can get? And, why isn’t anyone asking John Kerry this rather obvious yet awkward question?
Another very relevant question would be to ask what Kerry thinks happened to John Edwards in the last 4 years that has changed his “one heart beat away” status. Is there something about Edwards that Kerry has since learned or is he still eminently qualified to be president just not as qualified since Obama came around?
Wow, I am just blown away that the GOP was so able to portray this guy as a flip flopper.

Something happened between Kerry and Edwards after the 2004 loss and they have NOT been big buddies since. He also has a thing for the Clinton’s as he feels they undermined his 2004 campaign. The same thing goes for Al Bore and the Clinton’s They have been feuding since the 2000 election and Bore blames his loss in the lack of Clinton support. It seems to be a liberal trait to blame someone else for a problem or a loss instead of looking at where the real blame should be – with themselves.
Thanks for letting me post!
