Baucus to endorse Clark

[mndemocrat_29]

This is from Roll Call:

Baucus is the first Senator not from Clark's homestate of Arkansas to announce support for his presidential candidacy and may help restart a campaign that has lost significant momentum in Congress and in key early primary states in recent weeks.

Baucus and Clark had no prior relationship, according to knowledgeable sources; the Montana Senator was attracted to Clark's candidacy because he believes the general is the most electable candidate in the current nine-person field. Sen. John Breaux (La.), one of the leading moderates in his party, has long been viewed as a potential supporter of Clark but has not backed him yet. Sources familiar with the situation indicate that the Louisiana Senator is firmly in Clark's camp, however.

Of the 11 House Members backing Clark, six are members of the Blue Dog Coalition including Rep. Marion Berry (Ark.), who has been one of Clark's most outspoken advocates on the Hill. Clark is expected to pick up the endorsement of Rep. Anthony Weiner (N.Y.) in the coming days, adding another potent fundraiser to his cadre of Hill supporters.

Reps. Rahm Emanuel (Ill.) and Charlie Rangel (N.Y.), two of the most active and able fundraisers in the Democratic Caucus, have taken lead roles with the Clark campaign.

You can find a list of endorsements if you click on each candidate. I don't seen Peterson anywhere but I didn't look very hard. I haven't heard anything about him.

4. Thanks for looking

I'm sure it would've been in the news if he had. I suspect that if he does support anyone it will be Clark or possibly Gephardt.
