Any Senatorial endorsements? |
|
I know Zell endorsed Shrub, and Baucus, Lincoln, and Pryor have endorsed Clark. Are there any others? (Active Senators, I mean.)

4. Gephardt is the clear leader of congressional endorsements |
|
Last I read he had around 35. Kerry was in second place. I think Dean was in third.

Robert Byrd would be a valuable endorsement. Other intersting ones:
Rockerfeller- didn't he endorse Nader last time?
John Breaux- isn't he retiring? No worries about hard feelings (having to work with someone he didn't endorse).
Russ Feingold? with his campaign finance chops, it would be interesting to see where he sees the future.
Harkin is allegedly close to endorsing Dean, but we shall see. That could be big, given the tight battle in Iowa.
Carl Levin- would add some liberal weight to any of the middle of the road candidates.
Graham- would he endorse? (Probably not if he's looking for a VP slot). And if not, does...
Bill Nelson have much clout in Florida?
Debbie Stabenow- a rising star. Who (if any) would she hitch her wagon to?

Sens. Chris Dodd and Tom Carper have endorsed Lieberman. There's also at least one other that I know of who is backing Lieberman but who hasn't yet gone public.
