Johnson endorses Obama
More campaign information for everyone. Sadly it is starting to consume
my life. I thought it would end after Iowa, but watching everyone slug
it out is only making the race more interesting. I don't know how I
missed this but Johnson has endorsed Obama.
Johnson believes:
Johnson had said over a year ago that he was leaning toward the
Illinois senator in the 2008 presidential race, but has remained
uncommitted through the early primary season. As the Democratic field
has narrowed in the last week, Johnson decided to announce his support.
“He is bipartisan and insists on bridging the difference between parties,” Johnson told reporters. “That’s what I see in him.”
I find this peculiar because friends who attended a recent Johnson event in Vermillion said that he stated he would not be endorsing any candidate for President because he needed to work with all of them. I'm not superised that he picked Obama though.
As the article reports:
Many of Daschle’s former staff are working for Obama, including former
Daschle campaign manager Steve Hildebrand, who is Obama’s deputy
campaign manager.
Who knows maybe the race will come down to South Dakota (the last primary in the nation) and Obama's SD ties will take him to the White House. Ha ha ha.
