Breaking: Hollings Endorse Kerry. Southerner's Southerner, Just As Ordered

[Raya]

Straight-talking Fritz is just the kind of real-deal Southerner that Kerry needs to head South. There was talk of Kerry skipping SC but now Fritz can lead the sweep of southern primaries. Wow!

Fritz admitted on the Senate floor that he had been "hoodwinked and baboozled" by Neocon spin re WMD. Said Bush Lied!

A real straight-shooter for the campaign. Hope he will be fully on board campaigning with Kerry team.

1. Guess Kerry will take SC. What will happen to Edwards?

[mmonk]

Haven't seen if the endorsement

will have any effect.

9. As Harkin proved in Iowa...

...endorsements don't translate into votes.

Kerry still needs to establish ground troops in the south.

This will certainly help. Great endorsement :toast:

2. I'd rather have a candidate who could get South Carolina's electoral votes

And that certainly isn't John Kerry. At least Edwards or Clark would have a shot.

3. Hollings voted for the IWR too. Birds of a feather roll over together.

8. What up. Some terrible problem with Fritz

[mikehiggins]

4. I'm happy Fritz came out for somebody

but I think we've seen the overwhelming value of big name endorsements over the last few weeks. Second only to polls in uselessness.

5. it is a good endorsement for Kerry

[Buffler]

7. Why didn't

the Confederate flag raising Hollings endorse the Confederate Flag vote seeking Dean?

[jburton]
