BREAKING! Obama Declines Kerry Endorsement!

[wyldwolf]

(2008-01-10) — Sen. Barack Obama today declined the endorsement of Sen. John Kerry, saying his presidential campaign is about “hope and change”, and he doesn’t want to “send mixed messages.”

Sticking with his new stump speech refrain, Sen. Obama said, “They told us you can’t run a presidential campaign without kissing up to every Democrat who ever rode this donkey to defeat. But I say, yes…yes we can.”

“They told us you can’t diss a former presidential candidate who’s a professional Vietnam war veteran,” he added, “But I say yes…yes we can.”

An unnamed spokesman for the Obama campaign said the endorsement rejection is not necessarily permanent.

“If we get to the convention and our campaign needs a little extra shove to put us over the top,” the Obama aide said, “then we might ask Sen. Kerry to …you know…do it.”

11. Obama is a class act!!

What a slap in the face for Kerry who obviously wanted to ruin Edwards vote in he upcoming S.C. primaries. This makes me think that there is a possibility of a Obama/Edwards alliance of some kind. Did anyone notice how Edwards backed Obama up in the pre-primary N.H. debate against H.C.??

17. One does worry a bit about the Kerry jinx.

There's a way that his endorsement feels a bit like the kiss of death. Oh well.
