1. This is a really interesting endorsement.

I liked the endorsers' comments, too:

from Reggie Love, Obama's former "body man" in his first term (during which they were almost literally tied at the hip; Obama has described him as his "little brother&quot :

. . . he said he offered his endorsement because the campaign actively encouraged him to, and because he believed Buttigieg shares the same approach to public service that Obama did.

"The parallels are important because I grew up playing sports and there's the whole idea is you go out and you leave everything out on the field and you see where everything falls," Love said. "You go and you compete and sometimes David beats Goliath."

Economist Austin Goolsbee:

Goolsbee recently began advising the campaign informally on economic matters but has now made a formal endorsement.

"It has been awhile since I have seen the kind of excitement on the ground in Iowa that Mayor Pete has generated," Goolsbee said in a statement. "And the last time worked out pretty well."

from Linda Douglass (intriguingly, currently head of communications for Bloomberg Media in Washington, DC):

Douglass, a long-time Obama aide who was the primary spokesperson for the Affordable Care Act before its passage, is also an informal campaign adviser on health care and other issues. She also served as a senior adviser and spokesperson for Obama during the 2008 campaign.

"I met Pete a few years ago and admire his intelligence, wisdom and extraordinary ability to communicate clearly and powerfully about the challenges we face today," Douglass said in her statement. "He is passionate about public service and about improving the lives of Americans in every part of the country.

"I am excited by the prospect of a leader who comes from a new generation and who represents that generation's unique understanding of what the future may hold," she added.

This article is more informative than the CNN article (which has received more attention so far.). Kicking to spread the NBC article more widely.
