1. Senator Kerry is always late. He'll do it right after Super Tuesday
I say this advisedly, I have been getting his mail for years, and he weighs in on issues when they are day before yesterday's news.
ARRRGH

3. That has always been the problem with detractors,

speaking before knowing all the facts.

Sorry, but this is too funny!

2. This should not be surprising by now. Uninformed people who state an opinion not based on facts.

They will come in this thread as well.

OOPS: I was late. They already posted their uninformed opinions.

4. You've nailed it here at DU

5. Jeez, you could have saved me hours reading this site!
Yours is a succinct dead-on analysis. Sadly.

6. Why did he wait until after NH?
He's a Northern guy -- why would he wait until after NH to endorse Obama?

7. I sincerely believe the Obama campaign thought they'd won NH, so why not?
When Hillary won NH, it was perfect timing.

Obama-1

Hillary-1

They needed all the media attention and high level endorsements they could get in the close race with Clinton. Duh.

8. He let the Obama campaign pick the timing
Whenever they thought it would be most useful.

11. Because, with an incredible amount of supporters in NH, he didn't want to insinuate himself in

to the race. That's just good manners..unlike "Give.Me.A.Break" Bill.
Your "breaks" are over, Big Dawg. Step aside or get run over.
BTW...can my wife & I get a refund on the $6,000 we sent you??
($2,500 in 1992; $2,500 in 1996; $1,000 to Hillary in 2000) Guess not.

15. Isn't that the point?
Why else do you endorse someone?
The point is to help them win.

19. It was Obama's choice of timing, I think. They did it when Obama needed a boost
It's hard to say what's been going on between the two camps. But this endorsement was a long time in the making.

10. Personally, I prefer the opinion of someone who WON the presidency to someone who lost it.
JFK says Obama. Big Dog says HRC. Assuming both are being honest (to do otherwise would be wingnuttery), whose opinion should get more weight?

12. The one who is not married to the candidate and therefore more objective...

:shrug:

Now, if Bill was supporting Obama against his own wife, that would have some weight.

13. Ask Ross Perot. He "won" it for Big Dawg in 1992.
