      Kennedy's Hot on the Stump for Obama

      When Ted Kennedy endorses you, he doesn't just phone it in: The 75-year-old Massachusetts senator is seriously stumping for Barack Obama—and taking the Southwest by storm. Since backing Obama in a fiery speech on Monday, Kennedy has tried out his Spanish in Santa Fe and sung on an LA radio show, the New York Times reports. And audiences young enough to be his grandchildren are eating it up. More »

      LA Times Picks: Obama, McCain

      The Los Angeles Times today endorsed Barack Obama and, with some qualifications, John McCain, in party nominations. While either Democratic hopeful “would make a strong nominee,” it wasn’t hard to pick the one “most focused on steering the nation toward constructive change,” it writes. “No political experience,” it adds, could “surpass Obama's life story in preparing a president to understand the American character.” More »

      Scribe to Papers: Stop Endorsing

      Newspapers should stop endorsing candidates, Philadelphia Daily News blogger Will Bunch writes, because the practice makes editorial pages look disingenuous. Most papers have been stepping up with one nod to a Democrat and another to a Republican, he notes; what could be more ridiculous than supporting Barack Obama and John McCain—whose policies are diametrically opposed—in the same breath?

      Carter Backs Obama, Almost

      Jimmy Carter came tantalizingly close to endorsing Barack Obama in an interview with the Wall Street Journal , calling the Illinois senator's campaign "extraordinary and titillating for me and my family." While he's officially neutral, the former president and Nobel Prize winner heaped praise on Obama, predicting that he could win southern states that Democrats have written off in the past. More »

      Giuliani Spins Lack of Fla. Endorsements

      Grasping for good news on the eve of the Florida primary, Rudy Giuliani released a video today touting his failure to win endorsements from the Tampa Tribune , Orlando Sentinel , South Florida Sun-Sentinel , and New York Times . “He’s not endorsed by any of the liberal newspapers,” the voice-over boasts. But a couple of those publications aren’t known for their leftism, the St. Petersburg Times notes. More »

      Ted Kennedy to Endorse Obama

      Ted Kennedy, the heir to his slain brothers' Camelot ideal, will endorse Barack Obama's bid for the Oval Office tomorrow, the Boston Globe reports, ending his year-long seat on the fence and giving the candidate's surging chances a second Kennedy boost in a day. The Democratic godfather's coveted nod is a crushing blow for longtime family friend Hillary Clinton just ahead of the critical Super Duper Tuesday contests. More »

      Florida Gov. Backs McCain as Race Turns Nasty

      Mel Martinez will back John McCain in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, the Florida senator announced today after earlier waffling.

      New York Times Endorses Clinton, McCain

      In an ornery pair of editorials, the New York Times has endorsed Hillary Clinton and John McCain for their parties' presidential primaries. The paper's editorial board calls itself "hugely impressed" with the New York senator's credentials and says "she is capable of uniting and leading." The Times regrets Clinton's vote to invade Iraq—an invasion it now says it opposed—but claims: "That's not the issue now." More »

      Obama Gains Traction With Dems in Red States

      Barack Obama is better suited than Hillary Clinton to carry red states, say Democratic officeholders in traditionally Republican-friendly locales. It’s no coincidence that Obama recently picked up major endorsements in Arizona, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota, Politico reports. Democrats who’ve overcome partisan odds say they think Obama’s more likely to carry their states. More »

      Dems Spar Over Suit to Block Vegas Voters

      Barack Obama is among those who aren't happy about the Nevada lawsuit challenging at-large caucuses set up to enable Las Vegas Strip shift workers to vote Saturday. Obama pointed the finger at Hillary Clinton's campaign for challenging the rules only after the Culinary Workers Union endorsed him. "The rules were OK when other campaigns thought they would win the Culinary endorsement," he said; when they didn't, “lawyers decided to get involved.” More »

      Dems Tussle for 'Super Delegates'

      If Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama go neck-and-neck through February 5, "super delegates" may decide the Democratic nominee, reports the LA Times . The goal is 2,025—the number of convention delegates needed to secure the nomination—but the grail is the 796 elected officials who are free to vote their personal preference, regardless of the vote in their home state.
