RSS icon Comments on Kucinich Tells Supporters to Back Obama

Let me tell you, this is more reassuring than getting a Nader nod like Edwards. This should help defend/shore up labor support for Obama, which has been a little shaky according to some news sources regarding the 527 business. Best of luck in Iowa, Eli.

This can only be good news for Obama. And I agree with Graham this will get Obama some more support from labor that he needs to drain money from Hillary.

Besides, we all know that there will be a female Clinton in the White House; and let me tell you Chelsea will be a great President!

Sweeet! Especially since the Washington Post says Obama has a 7 point lead on Clinton ...

C the YY, that's a funny twist on the future Clintonian/Bush dystopia that is unfolding.

With Kucinich pointing the way, I'm veered toward possible Obama backing.

I'm an Obama fan (at this point I could toss a coin between him and Edwards) but if he is the nominee for the general election you can bet the Repugnantans will use the Kucinich endorsement to Swift Boat him in a series of attack ads as November approaches. They may use it to scare off a few indies and moderates who think Kucinich is too far to the left.

Isn't he politically closer to Edwards?

I've been a Kucinich fan for a long time, but reality is reality, and he is going nowhere, photogenic wife notwithstanding. This shows that he actually can show some class under pressure. I hope he gets a decent cabinet post when this goat rodeo is over.

Bareback Osama is a giant QUEEFING DOUCHE BAG!

Anyone who runs soley on the color of their skin (endorsed by people like Oprah because of the color of his skin) is sending the wrong message.

He will never win the presidency Nig-Nog lovers! A vote for him = Four more years of Republicans!

Don't listen to this douche above me, because on the same token, it's not right to discard someone because the color of their skin.
Although my first choice for pres is Kucinich (second Edwards, third Biden), I still think Obama would make a good president, despite his lack of experience. It is possible that this is only because of the shit bags that the republicans are running...
