10. I would not be proud to have his endorsment

what an asshole. You don't endorse somebody, and then desert on the eve of the biggest part of the election, and go to somebody else.

11. Makes me ashamed to be Irish - Durkin, you blaggart! (n/t)

12. I respect Durkin for facing the truth and acting on it.

It would have been a lot easier to keep rolling with Dean. Durkin wants what is best to beat AWOL. It was very courageous of him.

13. I am VERY proud of this endorsement

You can't blame anyone but DEAN for running people away!

It's also pretty funny how we haven't seen any of Al Gore since Monday in Iowa.

He pretty much showed you why he was a terrible candidate in 2000 when he jumped on a bandwagon instead of making a rational decision based on substance instead of just going with the "SUPPOSED" sure thing.

Also, I have a little theory that a lot of these establishment figures jumped on Dean's boat to make it sink, but that's fine with me.

6. Good one for John!

Durkin should have done this is the first place.

9. Congrats to Edwards and his camp!

I'm starting to prefer Edwards to Kerry as my second choice, after Clark. I love primaries!
