Icon11 Kerry Endorses Obama

Oh-oh. This could be the "kiss of death" for Obama:

Former Dem nominee Kerry endorses Obama
By NEDRA PICKLER and ANDREW MIGA, Associated Press Writer
24 minutes ago

CHARLESTON, S.C. - John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, gave Barack Obama a timely endorsement Thursday, snubbing Hillary Rodham Clinton as well as his own vice presidential running mate.

looks like kerry is persona non grata when Edwards is in the white house.
would have liked been there to hear the epithets Mrs. Edwards used to describe kerry as he did his judas impression prior to the SC primary.
just another example of kerry's character

IMO he endorsed Obama not becasue of spiffs with Edwards or Hillary but simply because he wants attention.

Well, if he does flip flop and Obama ends up winning, Kerry can now claim he was for Obama before he was against Obama.

Kerry endorses Obama...Come on, does this seem like a broadway production to anyone else? Ok maybe they improv most of the time...but the underlying script is still followed. My heart goes out to those real Kerry supporters...the ones who campaigned for him past to present, through muck and mire, just to have him pawn thier support off on Obama. I supported Kerry as the lesser of two evils in 04', but after watching him allow an innocent young man to be tazered in the pursuit of information, I lost every ounce of respect one can have for a man. His endorsement is just a scene in this presidential play, the election results have already been programmed by Diebold associates.

Kerry's been out of the spotlight for awhile so this may have nothing more than a minor positive effect. Bottom line, though, Kerry was tied to Edwards. A few Edwards supporters may move to the Obama camp, although this may happen anyways when it becomes more clear Edwards can't win.
