Congratulations to Obama on the Kerry endorsement
I see some people are trying to minimize this, but I think it is a big endorsement for Obama. Kerry almost won the 2004 election and got millions of votes and had incredible rallies with overflowing crowds. I know because I was at one.

Kerry's endorsement should be respected and although I am a Hillary guy I am not going to try to diss Kerry over this like I see others are doing.

12. Because it's sour grapes based on the fact he disagreed
with Edwards over campaign strategy.

I don't think Edwards signed off on unfortunate scenes like this:

2. I think Kerry was fishing for a headline.
Good for Obama! Not for Kerry.

4. Thank you quinnox
It's great when candidate supporters show class when something good happens for another candidate.

In that spirit I will refrain from telling the first commenter what I really think, except to say too bad they couldn't follow your good example.
