1. Great moment when Korean war vet Rangel saluted Kerry.
These two guys have more courage than the entire repuglican party.

2. How many times is he going to endorse him?
Isn't this like the third time?

3. Why don't they just stick with the original endorsements?

It's not going to hurt the eventual nominee.

My gawd...these people are sheeple!

No wonder these establishment Dems roll-over on Bush policies!

4. Charlie Rangel "rolling over" for Bush?
Would you like to give an example?

7. I'm not exclusivly targeting Rangel.
Endorsements are a measure of your sound judgment.

You don't make an endorsement by the direction of the political "wind-sock".

If Rangel endorsed Clark, then perhaps he should stick with him.

But, that's just my opinion.

5. Let's see.... Rangel endorsed Clark who later endorsed Kerry
I fail to see how Rangel could logically do anything else.

6. Rangel's a vet
He went with one military guy (Clark), and now he's going with war hero John Kerry, now that Clark is out.

He obviously thinks national security is a key issue in this campaign. How does that make him sheep-like?

8. Your endorsement does not hurt the eventual nominee.
Edited on Mon Feb-23-04 02:13 PM by EXE619K
Primary emdorsements are just that.

There's reason why Rangel endorsed Clark during the primaries.

If National Security is the only issue that heeded the interest for Mr. Rangel...maybe, he should have just endorsed Kerry.

You endorse a "package", not just a part of the "package".
