No sour grapes here on the Kerry endorsement, but a question

[wyldwolf]

Obama (and his supporters) have often cited the key to his victory will be Republican and Independent votes.

Kerry is quite unpopular in the ranks of the GOP. Does this hurt Obama?

[BeyondGeography]

1. He needs help with the rank-and-file, that's where this matters

The indies and moderate Pubs will be fine.

2. Nah. Now bushco's support could really hurt a guy. n/t

[maddiejoan]

3. Hurts Edwards

More than it helps Obama. (Though it won't help Obama's appearance as a fresh face change agent)

Won't effect Hillary at all.

5. It helps Edwards. He needs to be distant from Kerry. GOOD!

[DaLittle Kitty]

10. Very Good Point.. Kerry WAS WEEAAAAKKK Anyway and continues to Bend Over!

His Brightest Hour was his testimony against the war as a young man... ALLL DOWN HILL AFTER THAT! Good fer John Edwards!:)

4. Kerry is a has been. His endorsement doesn't mean squat.

[BlueIris]

7. To people who don't know how to read (or think) maybe.

Or participate in society. Or actual campaigns.

[William769]

6. Unlike several people on DU who love to do this to Hillary, I won't piss on this endorsement

It's a good endorsement

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. Yes, the Kerry endorsement kills the Obama candidacy

It's all over.

9. In 2004 when Kerry needed help with his campaign, whom did

he turn to? Whom did Kerry ask to campaign for him in Philadelpia that came out of his convalescence from heart surgery to campaign in a tight Pa. race and helped Kerry carry Pa.?

Mr. Kerry drew rousing cheers when he stated: "Isn't it great to have Bill Clinton back on the trail?'' Kerry drew cheers of delight when he said that he had asked Clinton “if there’s anything you have in common with George W. Bush? He thought for a moment and he said, ’In eight days and 12 hours, we will both be former presidents.”’

In his first public appearance after heart surgery Clinton said "I'm very grateful to be here today, and I want to thank all the people of Philadelphia and throughout the country for their emails and prayers and letters of support,'' he said. "From time to time I have been called the Comeback Kid. In 8 days though, John Kerry is going to make America the comeback country.''
