A great day for Kerry campaign!

[quinnox]

First there was General Clark's endorsement, and now AFL-CIO endorsement! I can't believe the good fortune of Kerry campaign. This is great!

1. Sort of like when Harkin endorsed Dean, isn't it? (nt)

[eileen_d]

2. No. (nt)

[Feanorcurufinwe]

4. Harkin was a Presidential candidate? I must've missed it.

Harkin is the largest grouping of labor unions in America? :hi:

[stickdog]

7. Sort of like when Moseley-Braun endorsed Dean, isn't it? (nt)

[eileen_d]

14. How were those endorsements good for the Kerry campaign?

That is, after all, the topic of this thread.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

19. Well, since then, Dean's campaign has imploded.

Maybe that's the point they're making... :shrug:

[eileen_d]

20. ...

:spank:

[Feanorcurufinwe]

17. You mean when Dean hired CMB? Some endorsement.

[stickdog]

26. And Kerry didn't hire Clark?

Well, I guess all these Kerry/Clark posts are bullshit then. Wouldn't you agree?

[aquanut]

24. Not sort of. Clark won delegates and OK n/t

[goodhue]

9. Harkin ran for president in 1992

[Feanorcurufinwe]

18. Therefore, his endorsement of Clinton in '92 is like Clark's edorsement

[Feanorcurufinwe]

3. Don't forget, ANOTHER poll showing Kerry beating Bush!

5. This is awesome

Kerry is going to give Bush more than he bargained for.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

6. Bizarre that there aren't more happy Democrats around here.

[Octafish]

10. Not bizarre.

And it's not an accident.

The BFEE's running scared. So is their toad swarm. It's been that way for two years on DU.

11. Live by electability, die by electability. (nt)

[eileen_d]

15. Kerry is electable because he's winning elections.

And he'll continue winning elections, right up to November. Go Kerry!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

21. I don't agree. It's a chicken and egg thing.

The voters recognize that Kerry is the best qualified to be President. A one-word description of that is 'electable'.

[eileen_d]

23. I don't even know what "electability" means...

It only makes sense to me after the fact... if someone wins an election, s/he was "electable" for that particular election.

I'm getting dizzy. Anyway...

12. Happy? I'm thrilled.

I help co-ordinate fundraising for the campaign. It's gonna get a lot easier now.

PS, any DUers in or around Chicago March 11th, PM me for information on a fundriser for kerry.

8. from a Clark supporter

congrats to Kerry supporters, especially the long time supporters who hung in there, that must have been tough. Here's looking forward to a Democrat in the WH in 2005. :toast:

[quinnox]

13. Thanks!

n/t

[Feanorcurufinwe]

22. Thank you.

And yes, it was tough for a while. Maybe that's why it is easy to not get overly upset about baseless attacks, rumors, and sniping now...

[Old and In the Way]

25. All the planets are lining up......

I'm starting to believe we can take back Congress under a Kerry campaign. How is George going to campaign? Will he take questions from voters? I doubt that.

[stickdog]

27. Well, Mars and Uranus sure are.

Venus, however, is still in question.

[MercutioATC]

28. He may have my union's ensorsement, but he doesn't have mine...

Actually, I'm NATCA (an AFL-CIO affiliate) but the message remains the same. Kerry has my vote in the GE IF he's the nominee...nothing more.
