So when do you think the Dem Heavies (Kennedy, Kerry, et al) will announce

[gateley]

which candidate they will support?

[halobeam]

1. maybe they are waiting for Al?

:rofl:

[saracat]

2. Not until after the primary.They would look bad no matter who they endorsed

At one time or other they have been friends and supporters of all the candidates.In Kerry's case, one was a running mate.Kennedy has known the Clintons for years. But also Biden, Dodd ,and Richardson. They won't endorse.JMO

[gateley]

3. I get it - I was thinking they'd endorse before the primaries, but you're so right.

Are you saying that some won't endorse at all?

[saracat]

4. I am sure they will endorse whomever is the nominee. They usually do.

5. I think I read that Kennedy will endorse someone before the primaries, altho he has not yet done so.

[saracat]

6. I read that somewhere all had gone to him looking for his "blessing"

but I didn't hear he was prepared to give one! One of those times it must suck to be Ted! Who should he choose to offend? Poor guy.I don't think he'll endorse but I could be wrong.

7. Kerry said 8 days ago that when asked in an interview

after a speech on the economy that he had not decided if he will or who he would endorse. Don't know about Kennedy - who has yet to endorse anyone else after Kerry opted not to run.

8. Good question.

I wonder if Ted Kennedy will take another long look at everyone's health care proposals and have them all over for brunch before he endorses someone.

Kerry is running for Senate again, and in my opinion will win handily, and very deservedly, and may hold his cards close to his chin also.
