1. He has been officially involved with the campaign since last July
Now Caldwell's site has been conveniently scrubbed.

The association is very clear.

9. No I am not
But I am suggesting that you chould only tar and feather Obama is he graciously accepted this endorsement in a post-mcGlurkin world.

11. The interaction between the two parties has clearly been COORDINATED
for some time now.

It's not unilateral.

5. Does it matter. He can't control who endorses him and he doesn't have acknowledge it.

6. He can control who his campaign is willingly involved with.
But you're right--it doesn't matter. He should reject the endorsement anyway.

13. You just want to pretend this isn't real.
And I understand that - it's really disappointing.

But don't distort the facts...they're there for anyone to see.

20. It's an endorsement after MONTHS of interaction with the campaign.
Accompanied by an article in which the endorser stated his intention to make formal visits on the campaign's behalf after talking with the campaign.

Believe what you want - if and when he starts popping up to campaign for Obama, we won't simply overlook it I can assure you.

7. Well if can not control who endorses him
If he has nbot appeared on stage with Obamal If he has no been seen with Obama since McGlurkin If he has not fundraised, ig there had been no acknowldgement of the endorsement.


Is there really that much to this story?
