Place your endorsements here, instead of cluttering up the front page with separate topics for each of them.

Obama, having won the 3rd CD in WI in yesterday's primary, picks up the endorsement of its congressman, Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI).

Reports also suggest that Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-TX) has endorsed Obama.


DNC Member John Rednour, Sr. (D-IL) has clarified that he is supporting Obama, not Clinton.  (His son, John Rednour, Jr. is on Clinton's IL steering committee, hence the previous confusion).

I'm supporting McCain, though if Clinton is the nominee there is a small chance this could change.  The only way I would support Obama over McCain is if McCain's choice for VP was absolutely horrible (Coburn would be one).

Maybe, but moreover they're the people responsible for the thousands of fraudulent registrations in King and Pierce counties.

They have a fairly rich history of corruption.

Nate mentioned something along those lines to me a while ago (must be over a year now). Something hypocritical anyway.

To be fair, it was their minimum wage-level workers who are paid for every registration they fill.  But they certainly have too few checks and balances...it's quite nearly on the honors system, and they seem to like it that way.

Too many scandals surrounding ACORN.

But anyway...
