3. You've

lost me. I thought there was a question about Young's support for Clark? Am I missing something here? Although, I didn't miss the hostility. :silly:

4. uh....

what "lame crap"? There was a legitimate question discussed earlier today here on DU about whether Young actually was endorsing Clark.

I would say sitting on his campaign's steering committee answers the question.

The issue is that Young refused to use the word "endorse" because he feels it's improper to tell others how they should vote. But we now know for sure that Young PERSONALLY is supporting Clark's election.

If you wanna argue about the semantics of "endorsement" we can, but calling it "lame crap" is a cheap shot.

Change your subject line to reflect the press release. They might lock it if you don't. I am really happy about this. . .happy, happy, joy, joy!

6. Wow, this is bigger than an endorsement!

It says, very plainly, that they not only support the candidate but are going to work full out for him! Great news for the Clark campaign!

7. Andy can call it what he wants, but it sounds like

"endorsement" to me.

Kudos to the Clark campaign...that's a good one to have on your team.
