Des Moines, IA (December 29, 2007) – Sen. Joe Biden today received the endorsement of three County Democratic Party Chairs in Iowa, Pat Sass, Black Hawk County Party Chair; Jean Hall, Clayton County Chair; and Linda Carrillo, Cedar County Party Chair. All three will serve on the Biden for President Campaign statewide steering committee.

This week, Mo-Joe ’08 is sweeping across Iowa, with Sen. Biden picking up two newspaper endorsements in Jefferson and Sheldon, earning two new legislative endorsements, and packing venues across the Hawkeye State.

These county party leaders have joined an impressive group of local elected officials and state legislators who have endorsed Senator Biden in Iowa. To date, 16 state legislators—and a majority of the House Democratic leadership—have endorsed Senator Biden, including State Sen. Joe Seng (Davenport), House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (Des Moines), Speaker Pro Tempore Rep. Polly Butka (Clinton), Rep. John Whitaker (Hillsboro), Rep. Doris Kelley (Waterloo), Rep. Lisa Heddens (Ames), Rep. Jim Lykam (Davenport), Rep. Mike Reasoner (Creston), Rep. Dick Taylor (Cedar Rapids), Rep. Roger Thomas (Elkader), Rep. McKinley Bailey (Webster City), State Senator Herman C. Quirmbach (Ames), Rep. Mary Gaskill (Ottumwa), Rep. Bruce Hunter (Des Moines), Rep. Eric Palmer (Oskaloosa), and Rep. Dennis Cohoon (Burlington).

4. Iowans,

what roles will all these play at caucuses? Lead them for Joe? Collect supporters? What's the concrete effect of these endorsements?

6. Hopefully they are getting people together for Joe. I would love to hear from an Iowan,

9. The endorsements won't make a lot of difference in who caucuses for which candidate.

but they do cement one's decision. For instance, if I were teetering between Biden and Richardson, then I notice that Dennis Cohoon endorsed Richardson, I might look at Richardson a little closer, because I trust Cohoon's decisions. If I saw that a newspaper that I would use to line my birdcage endorsed Biden, I might check their editorial that explained their views. Since I don't care for the newspaper, they would have to have a pretty strong argument before I would consider changing my vote.

I don't pay much attention to endorsements, but if they don't get any, it is an indication something is wrong. Also, there are people who need others to tell them how to vote, as they don't have any confidence in their own choices.

Most of the time, I couldn't tell you who endorsed which candidate.
