Talk about endorsing against your own interest.

Relevant:

Noted that Sanders does far worse (up to 20 pts) than Clinton in head-to-head matchups against Bush. The largest gap is among K-12 teachers; the smallest among higher ed teachers (also the most socioeconomically privileged group).

Tomorrow, Governor Christie will travel to Annapolis, Maryland for a special announcement event.

Was I supposed to LexisNexis that guy and find all that information myself?  It's funny, you have a problem with the source, but you don't dispute the facts.

So Christie is now the nominal endorsement leader, with a whopping 24 points.  It seems like he's getting significant support from fellow governors.

Napolitano is a celebrity endorsement, not a serious one. But a simple Wikipedia search would do it, not the use of RationalWiki, which is as biased and serious as Napolitano himself.

While the 538 endorsement tracker is good for seeing where the establishment of a party is, maybe they should expand it to include celebrities. Getting the endorsement of Oprah is worth more than any governor, and getting a Duck Dynasty guy or Chuck Norris on your side has got to be worth something. And what about former politicians? Shouldn't an Al Gore or Sarah Palin endorsement be worth something?

John Kasich
Endorsement Points: 3

Statewide Office Holders (1)
- Mary Taylor, Lieutenant Governor of Ohio

Former U.S. Senators (1)
- John E. Sununu, former U.S. Senator from New Hampshire


Technically he's also endorsed by the OH Auditor, Secretary of State, and AG. The latter is former US Senator Mike DeWine, so I'm not sure if he gets double points for that. Grin

EDIT: Tmthforu beat me to it. Sad
Ah, except he didn't mention Auditor Dave Yost, so my post has meaning. Grin

Of course. Swalwell is just as much of a joke as O'Malley.
