I have a feeling Richardson won't endorse. I think he knows he's very high on a short list of potential VP candidates so he doesn't want to risk not getting the VP slot.

Ties to Hillary aside, she's going to endorse whoever comes out as the frontrunner after Super Tuesday.

@2: The "next couple of days" isn't after Super Tuesday.

My guess is that Patty will join Cantwell and endorse Clinton. Gregoire will probably join them sometime next week.

I didn't realize Obama's every move was a movie.

What the hell? What happened to the rest of my comment? Fuck it.

What else would we expect from all the Vaginas we have representing this state? Hell half of them even look like HRC!

Noone cares who they endorse. Period.

The unfair weight of the votes being super delegates is a disgrace to the political system.

Hopefully they'll re-consider the fervor with which people in this state have grown to love Obama.

If they vote HRC it is simply a party favor for their female torch bearer and trailblazer.

Sad indeed.

I wonder how Mary Jo Kopechne feels about Kennedy endorsing Obama.

#7, I support Obama. I was just stating what I think will happen. Also, I voted for Cantwell, Murray, and Gregoire. Let's be respectful of women, please.

See, this is where this stuff comes from. Some boob calling himself "Do we really care?" who has never posted here before spouts some idiocy, and soon Big Sven will be along to attribute that viewpoint to "all the Obama supporters on Slog".

I'm not saying it doesn't happen the other way. I'm saying don't do it.

And, "Do we really care?", why don't you go out and play in the middle of the street for a while? Mommy needs a ciggie break.

I wonder how Vince Foster feels about another Clinton presidency.

@9 - so did I.

As someone who frequently shows up as agreeing with Richardson the most of all the candidates, I'm hoping he'll join me in supporting Obama, so that, should Gore refuse to serve as VP again, he can run on the Obama/Richardson ticket.

Now that would be cool.

But I'll settle for Obama/Dodd if need be.

Murray's gonna go for HRC. They're both establishment.

Fnarf @10, well stated as usual.

There's only one endorsement I'm holding out for. Mr. Gore, come down from the mountain. Your country needs you.

Great piece in today's NYT on the Kennedy endorsement by columnist David Brooks:

How could the septuagenarian Kennedy cast the younger Clintons into the past? He could do it because he evoked the New Frontier, which again seems fresh. He could do it because he himself has come to live a life of service.

I like Patty Murray a lot. I'd be disappointed if she went pro-war on this one.

@8: Probably nothing. She's been dead for almost 40 years.
