#1:\u00c2\u00a0 Ralph Nader has endorsed John Edwards.\u00c2\u00a0 For whatever that’s worth.<\/p>\n

#2:\u00c2\u00a0 Dennis Kucinich has endorsed Barack Obama as the second choice for his Iowa voters.\u00c2\u00a0 For reasons that don’t quite make sense to me, seeing as he endorsed John Edwards four years ago, Edwards a few steps to the right of where he is now.<\/p>\n

#3: \u00c2\u00a0 I have already said who I would vote for if you threw a ballot at me.\u00c2\u00a0 But I don’t know what I would do for that great second ballot, seeing as Dodd is getting nowhere.\u00c2\u00a0 Edwards, I suppose.\u00c2\u00a0 Though, I am wary… Paragraph 4 for where to begin<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I suppose this is where to start for how Kucinich can scuttle Edwards — consistency or something or other.<\/p>\n

#4:\u00c2\u00a0 Fred Thompson has said that he is not really into this “running for president” thing that he is currently engaged in.\u00c2\u00a0 I do not fully understand that guy.\u00c2\u00a0 It is, I suppose, a suggestion that he is a regular guy who, like all regular guys, isn’t so ambitious as to run for the presidency.\u00c2\u00a0 I would suggest that a presidential candidate ought be … um… Ambitious.<\/p>\n

So, bottom line:\u00c2\u00a0 Fred Thompson has endorsed Not Him.<\/p>\n

#5: Thom Hartmann has said that he believes Edwards might be the next Roosevelt, and Obama might be the next Kennedy.\u00c2\u00a0 (The latter I warily think toward “uh oh<\/a>“.)\u00c2\u00a0 Unsaid, though a bit inferred: Clinton looks like the next Clinton.<\/p>\n

#6: Oh, and Erik Sten has endorsed Hillary Clinton.\u00c2\u00a0 Woo-hoo.\u00c2\u00a0 Who did your city council member in whatever city you are in endorse?\u00c2\u00a0 Do you know?\u00c2\u00a0 Why do you know?<\/p>\n

… Iowa.\u00c2\u00a0 Less than 36 hours away… What a stupid election system we have set up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
