Billy Shaheen 'leaning towards Hillary', will endorse in about a week

[wyldwolf]

Globe columnist Scot Lehigh scores a scoop in his column this morning quoting New Hampshire Democratic power broker Billy Shaheen as saying he is "leaning" towards endorsing New York Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and that he might do it in the next week or so.

Shaheen is married to former New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen, whose endorsement in the presidential race has been highly sought.

1. I hope this is correct!

Clinton is the toughest of all of them. We clearly need that now.

4. Nobody wonders why TeamClinton wouldn't fight TeamBush the last 7 years if they

were the go-to team with the most recent experience in the national media to take on Republican dirty tricks against the entire Dem party from 2001-2006?

Is that team only for taking out OTHER Democrats and MAYBE other GOPs but would never be used against BushInc?

Where was that mighty battle to attack Bush on Tora Bora? His Iraq military decisions? Rumsfeld firing in 2003 and 4 after Abu Ghraib? Alito filibuster? Hell, they didn't even bother to fight BushInc over 9-11 blame being pushed on Clinton until last September.

2. Great news, great endorsements........

(More, same link)

Shaheen is married to former New Hampshire Governor Jeanne Shaheen, whose endorsement in the presidential race has been highly sought.

Jeanne ran Jimmy Carter's New Hampshire campaign in 1976, before being the national campaign chairwoman on two presidential campaigns. In 2004, she served as Kerry's national campaign chair.

In 2003, Billy endorsed Kerry in the spring and Jeanne endorsed Kerry in the fall, a dynamic that could play out again with Clinton.
