30. so much for the scenario than the superdelegates will try to block Dean
from winning the nomination. It looks like he will have more of those than any other candidate.

14. Great for Dean,
but I thought Conyers was supporting Kuchinich, at least before today. I guess things get clarified when it gets closer to crunch time.

18. John Conyers
Is a Great American. Great endorsement.

A question on the picture however. The caption says Dean raises the hand of Conyers. I see a black hand being raised by an another black hand. Did the AP get it wrong?

19. Fantastic news! I think more and...
more endorsements will follow quickly because of the bashing Dean has been getting from all sides. I think that there are plenty more endorsements forthcoming, but some will be coming earlier than anticipated to counter the attacks. The more they bash, the more we swing the bat and the endorsments will just keep keep coming. Thank you John Conyers.

20. Great News!! Dr. Dean is the shining light in the darkness of a
stormy night!

I am so impressed by Dean's endorsements! Frist Vice President Al Gore, now another respected African-American Rep. John Conyers.

In the meanwhile at the ranch, ex-gen Clark can't get an endorsement from a single retired boss or retired colleague general after spending a lifetime in nothing but the military. I guess Clark was not a good team player.

That reminds me, time to mail another check to Dean campaign at:

Dean for America
Box 1228
Burlington, VT 05402

27. I like Conyers, too. Respect him a lot.
And if you want to speak to the person who tried to turn a positive thread into yet another flamepit, that would be Shivaji.

John Conyers is a fine man -- maybe the most outstanding in the Michigan congressional delegation.
