Kerry to Endorse Obama.

Now this is interesting. And I wonder why Kerry didn't endorse Edwards...

Talkleft:

Senator and former Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry will endorse Barack Obama for President.

The endorsement is considered "a slap at" John Edwards. Edwards beat Kerry in the 2004 South Carolina primary. Edwards' reaction?

"Our country and our party are stronger because of John's service, and I respect his decision. When we were running against each other and on the same ticket, John and I agreed on many issues."

How much effect will the endorsement have?

Since losing the 2004 race, Kerry has kept a national network of supporters intact. He has an e-mail network of 3 million supporters, according to aides. He also has traveled extensively raising millions of dollars for Democratic candidates nationwide.

Is Kerry looking to be VP or what. Now what's interesting is Kerry ran with Edwards but endorses a freshman Senator over Hllary. Now do I see some green with the Clintons. Will Kerry's endorsment matter, as he hasn't done anything since he lost the White House. Will Kerry use Obama as Arnie is doing now. At lease this shows just how much John Kerry really thought of John Edwards.

Yes I heard this earlier....hmm, he would have been smart not to endorse anyone and then gave full support to the Democratic winner. Even Rahn Emmanuel in Illinois is not going to be endorsing anyone.

Maybe Kerry thinks Obama needs some ketchup money????

That endorsement didn't make any sense with Edwards still running.
