Sorry, but your post seemed to be part of the already ongoing discussion about the Bentley endorsement. Also, you cannot post entire articles as that violates copyright and gets other sites peeved.

I cut and paste about half or two-thirds of it.

Iowa House Speaker Paulsen endorsed Christie.

Former Iowa House Speaker Siegriest, former primary challenger to King Steve of Iowa, has endorsed Kasich.

Al D'Mato, former Senator of New York, endorsed Kasich.

Al D'Mato, former Senator of New York, endorsed Kasich.

Not a shock...Pataki was better off being retired (or running against Gillibrand in 2018, I guess). Though I do have to question why his endorsement is relevant now.

He was the old party boss when the NYGOP was relevant, bar Bloomberg.

The NYGOP wasn't relevant with D'Amato in charge, especially after the mid-80's...

.... He did pretty well after the Rockefeller collapse. D'Amato recruited Pataki and Guiliani, the two major Republican politicians of New York.

Former Congressman Peter Torkildsen of Massachusetts has become a co-chair of Kasich's Massachusetts' campaign:

Not sure why, but a bunch of Mississippi politicians, including Gregg Harper (MS-3) and Trent Lott, have endorsed Kasich.

Probably because Kasich invokes how god has blessed him every other speech. Yuck.

I know! Ted Kennedy would never do such a thing!

Schweitzer for O'Malley.

... And this is surprising, why?

He's going all-in everywhere now, and O'Malley

[Kingpoleon]

What about Dayton and all the West Coasters? Why haven't they endorsed anyone yet?

Inslee because he's running for reelection next year, and knows that Sanders has some very influential supporters that he doesn't want to mess with. He'll wait until after the primary to endorse Hillary, I suspect.

That might be the same with Kate Brown since her special election is next year as well.

I'm not sure about Jerry Brown though. He and the Clintons get along about as well as Hatfields and McCoys. I'm not sure that he will endorse Bernie though. I think he would have endorsed Biden if Biden ran.

A Biden-Brown ticket would have been awesome. Wasn't it Biden who called Jerry Brown the smartest man in politics?

[Kingpoleon]

Tim Hutchinson for Rubio.

The Hutchinsons and Huckabee are the rival factions in our GOP. Not surprising. I do find it surprising that Asa's endorsed Huckabee, though.

Boston Globe for Kasich

https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/editorials/2016/01/25/republicans-should-vote-for-john-kasich-new-hampshire/alUwyPAaf0llfdbB0jwDmN/story.html

The Concord Monitor, Foster's Daily Democrat, Nashua Telegraph, and the Portsmouth Herald have all endorsed him. Combined, these have nearly double that of the Boston Herald, the Globe's more conservative counterpart, and the New Hampshire Union Leader.

Anything to take out Marco.

Governor Baker endorsees Chris Christie

Pretty big endorsement to have coming into New Hampshire.

I like Christie, but damn, Baker really wasted his endorsement here.

I am very glad I bought these:

You just wasted $20.

At this point, Gingrich sounds like a Trump-Kasich swing voter.

He is back!

Reagan endorses Kasich! That is, Michael Reagan, son of Ronald Reagan.

With Nancy's passing, this is an odd time for it.


PeteB, Kasich met with Schwarzenegger in CA even before he announced.

[Kingpoleon]

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for Kasich!

Wisconsin's largest newspaper on Tuesday encouraged its readers to vote for Kasich next Tuesday, going so far as to call him "the only thoughtful candidate with a fundamental belief in long-standing democratic principles who remains standing in the GOP primary field."

See?!

He is a democrat!

Charles Koch for Ryan:

"C. KOCH READY FOR RYAN" - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2016/04/04/charles-koch-paul-ryan-nomination_n_9611388.html

Why not just Kasich?

The establishment hates John Kasich.

[Kingpoleon]

... But Atlas told me he's the greatest pick to be Hillary's running-mate!

That happened a long time ago.

According to that, it was only like three days ago.

Well, I guess:

The Party Is Deciding
