Rep. Rush Holt will also endorse Howard Dean at the Trenton news conference tomorrow: "I'm endorsing Governor Howard Dean for president because I share his commitment to reconnecting
Americans with their democracy and for restoring their confidence in government's ability to serve the public good. Governor Dean has launched a revolutionary grass roots movement that is inspiring Americans in New Jersey and across the country. He would make an excellent president and he has already shown that he is the type of candidate who can defeat an incumbent." (12/18/03)

Rep. Bob Menendez, the number three member of the House Democratic leadership and the titular head of the Hudson County Democratic organization, has decided to endorse Howard Dean for President. (12/18/03)

They are both very good Dean endorsements IMHO.

He is usually a solid liberal vote but isn't on the extreme. I really don't like Menendez. He seems very arrogant and I could do without his political bullying in Hudson County.

There's no link because she told me about it herself today at a meeting! So I got it straight from Jan's mouth. The formal endorsement call was made an hour or so ago so there should be press soon.

one of my Heroines for sure!

Schakowsky is one of my favorite Congresspeople.

The deluge of endorsements before a vote has been cast is striking. I don't remember so many so early but that might just be my bad memory.

to the big fat fake invasion! So happy he's endorsing Gov Howard Dean!

A toast to seeing beyond their noses!!!!

Thanks to New Jersey Dems!!!

:bounce:

Hope we can keep an honest vote!!!

sort of surprised by that one

but of course, his roots are in WV like mine so I like him!

Looks like Dean will continue to endorse the Bush Doctrine re: Cuba, and support the continued abrogation of our travel rights.

Holt Endorses Dean
TRENTON--Congressman Rush Holt (NJ-12) today endorsed Governor Howard Dean, citing his ability to defeat George W. Bush and take back the White House in 2004.

"I'm endorsing Governor Howard Dean for president because I share his commitment to reconnecting Americans with their democracy and for restoring their confidence in government's ability to serve the public good. Governor Dean has launched a revolutionary grass roots movement that is inspiring Americans in New Jersey and across the country. He would make an excellent president and he has already shown that he is the type of candidate who can defeat an incumbent," Congressman Holt said.
