Endorsments

Yesterday Governor Bill Richardson endorsed Barack Obama to be our next President of the United States. Whatever "it" is that makes an experienced candidate a viable candidate wasn't there this year for Richardson, but through his endorsement Senator Obama gets a strong promoter and someone that can help deliver both the southwest and a great majority of the latino vote. With the possibility of a second vote in MI and FL, having this endorsement will certainly help Barack -- especially in Florida's latino community.

A second endorsement, which I found really interesting, was Obama's endorsement of the UNC basketball team winning the NCAA tournament. Although North Carolina's vote is still upcoming, this gesture shows just how likeable Obama is. Bush's likeability over Gore as a regular guy that a voter would just want to have a beer with also holds true with Obama. Most of the people I speak to feel the same way.

I had a long conversation with my best friend, who has never voted in an election, but has registered and intends to vote in November about Clinton and Obama. He knew a lot of the talking points but didn't necessarily have a candidate in-mind yet. After three hours of explaining why I am supporting Obama...he started to get more interested in him more-and-more. I feel I def brought one more vote in for him through this conversation.
