...and surely, as night follows day, the "news" as provided by Kerry toady/bagman/"journalist" Glen Johnson of the AP (emphasis mine)...
| Quote: | 2004 Dem Nominee Kerry Endorsing Obama
By GLEN JOHNSON
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — Barack Obama has won the presidential endorsement of Sen. John Kerry, the Democrats' 2004 nominee who lost to George W. Bush.
Kerry, a senator from Massachusetts, planned to announce his support Thursday at 11 a.m. EST at a rally at the College of Charleston, said a Democrat familiar with Kerry's decision. The 2004 nominee was to argue that Obama can best unite the country and has the potential to create transformational change, the person said.
Kerry lost the South Carolina Democratic primary in 2004 to John Edwards, the former North Carolina senator who now is running third in the 2008 campaign behind Hillary Rodham Clinton and Obama.
Besides any potential help for Obama, Thursday's endorsement was a slap at Edwards, who was Kerry's running mate in the last election. The two had their differences during the campaign over strategy and spending. In post-mortem interviews, Edwards said he would have been more aggressive in challenging the unsubstantiated allegations of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the Vietnam War veterans who questioned Kerry's military record.

Somehow I also knew Kerry would support a candiate (Obama) who opposed/opposes a war being prosecuted by a Republican President who first obtained UN and Congressional approval to do so but says he would use military force in Pakistan (an act of war) without first obtaining Pakistan's, the UN's or Congressional approval to do so.
In other words, the only time Kerry and/or Obama support using military force is when a Democratic President uses it. |

AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH, surely not!!!
But I think that he is looking for a Cabinet postion.
Or hoping to cause a deadlock in the 08 Demo Convention where he could swing a deal that would allow him to be the 08 Presidential nominee. A llloooonnngggg shot for sure, but not beyond him thinking of that, I think. |

I heard on Fox earlier today that Edwards was asked if he was disappointed that Kerry would not support him instead of Obama. Edwards reportedly said that if Kerry offered support, it would be refused. No love lost there.
Those rascally Swifties! How COULD they have broken up such a matched pair of candidates as Kerry and Edwards. It's a beautiful thing.

 Yep.
The entire world except Obama, himself!
If he's got any sense at all, (and I believe that he does) poor Obama is livid with this kiss-of-death endorsement and Hillary is doing a happy inevitability dance.

While I'm generally loathe to link to leftist web content, the breadth of acrimony and ridicule being heaped upon Kerry from leftlandia is a feast that I am compelled to share...
Here's an hors d'oeuvre...

John Kerry has endorsed Barack Obama. Sorry, but this is just classless. John Kerry didn't even tell Edwards he was going to endorse Obama. Is all manner of, well, manners ignored now? I didn't understand why Gore didn't tell Lieberman first either and I'm no fan of Joe, believe me. Of course, there is no rule on this, but when you go through the fire of a presidential campaign, it isn't a small event you're united in. Evidently Kerry tried to reach him but blah-blah-blah.
Former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., was in Charleston, SC, this morning when an aide brought word: the Associated Press was reporting that then-VP-nominee Edwards' 2004 running mate, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., was endorsing one of Edwards' chief rivals in the presidential contest, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois.
And this was how Edwards was finding out: through the media. Not by Kerry himself. ... ..
... .. Edwards supporters, meanwhile, thought the Kerry no-call particularly rude. They argued that South Carolina was a state that embodied Kerry's failures in many ways: Having kicked off his presidential race in the Palmetto State, he went on to lose it handily to Edwards in the 2004 Democratic primary and even more handily to President Bush in the general election. <snip>
But these establishment endorsements are just silly, even insulting. It's long past time to begin unsubscribing from all of these DC Democrats who use their mailing lists to push the Democratic faithful into thinking that their opinion is more important than what the people think. These mailing lists are also the remnants of the big old boy network that gang up on candidates The Establishment has decided aren't passing muster. John Edwards comes to mind.
Edwards has a passionate agenda. He deserved better than this from John Kerry.
Most of us ignore these mailers. Instead, it's time to start unsubscribing and taking the power away from people like John Kerry who wield it through his mailing list from the last presidential election.
Message sent, received, and totally rejected.

| Every once in a while Kerry has to come up with something to get his name in the press just to remind America he is still irrelavent |

Anyone besides me notice that both Kerry and Kennedy call him O'Bomber?

Received in email from the Obama Campaign,
| Quote: | Yesterday in Charleston, South Carolina, I was honored to accept John Kerry's endorsement of my campaign for President of the United States.
Senator Kerry is a man who knows how much people who love this country can change it.
He is a man of courage, a man of conviction, and a man whose life story has given him an intimate understanding of the kind of change we need right now. |
I don't know who put those words in his mouth, but that sure isn't the Kerry we saw in 2004 or 1971.
