How is reaction to the endorsement playing in the Real World?

Good? Bad? or Ugly (ok, like the blogosphere) Any backash (i.e. saying that it helps the other two)?

1. from the people who attended the Obama event with Kerry in SC

they loved it.

but endorsements don't mean much in itself. Hillary got the Des Moines Register endorsement which everyone had been thinking was the big one for some time and look at how she did in Iowa.

but they can help in terms of bringing attention to the candidate, maybe some fundraising volunteers etc.

the only ones who have a problem with it are Kerry haters and some of the Edwards people who are still bitter over his 2nd loss in Iowa and his not getting the good showing in NH.

2. I agree. My dad thought that endorsing Obama was a bold move on Kerry's part

especially to go against the Clintons. :)

3. It's playing pretty well on the Obama blog.

Which is not the RW, but I wanted to glance over there to see if it was being accepted graciously, and it absolutely is.

4. That's cool n/t

5. That's good to hear

Here, it's a lot of disappointed Edwards people. It surprises me that after Edwards' own behavior they assumed Kerry owed him anything.
