Since Gore, Edwards, and Richardson haven't endorsed Obama yet... |
|
... what does that say about their confidence in Obama? What do they know that Kerry and Kennedy don't know?

1. They haven't endorsed Clinton yet either |
|
So you could make that same argument for her.
At least for Richardson, I think it's a case of divided loyalties...he has hinted that he wants to endorse Obama but feels like he owes the Clintons.

And just why wouldn't that work in reverse?

5. It says nothing. It also says nothing that they haven't endorsed HRC either... |
|
...What about all those supers that haven't pledged for a candidate. What does that say? I'm not sure I understand the point of your post. :shrug:

7. I think it speaks volumes |
|
that Gore hasn't endorsed Hillary.
I may still eat my words, but I think his silence is pointed.

9. Maybe they are waiting to endorse--- the PARTY --- which is what is needed most of all now. |
|
That goes for the super delegates as well who have not yet made their endorsements known- they are also waiting to see where their endorsements will be most needed and waiting to see the will of the voters and making sure that regardess of the nominee, we beat McCain.

16. Why have more Senators enodorsed Obama than Clinton? |
|
Why have more Govenors endorsed Obama than Clinton
This makes you wonder especially since they have known the Clintons so long and the Clintons have had decades to build up those personal relationships.
And then there is the curious case of the Senator that knows Clinton the best. Senator Boxer's family is intermarried with the Rodham's and has given her a pro forma endorsement saying only that she will vote for her at the Convention but refuses to publically endorse her and refuses to assist the campaign in any way.
And what makes this really interesting is that Boxer has a very safe seat and is working actively to help elect other democrats all of the time - I get one email a week from her PAC. So what does Barbara Boxer know?

17. Richardson is endorsing Obama today |
|
Describes him as "a once-in-a-lifetime leader." I guess that says plenty about his confidence in Obama. :-)

18. It shows they know this isn't "over." |
|
To all of you asking why isn't the reverse applicable - it's because Hillary and her supporters aren't claiming this is all "over," as Obama supporters are.

22. They have been told to STFU |
|
and they will be told when, and whom to endorse.
The cult has taken over the party.

32. I think Richardson is still more qualified for the job than BO is. |
|
Those of us who cared about ending the Iraq War backed Richardson. Those impressed with other things backed Obama and Clinton. Clinton is my default candidate, because I want to beat McCain in Novmber.

And I don't expect Gore to endorse anyone. If he were going to endorse Clinton he certainly would have done it by now.
