Should We Ban Late Term Endorsements?
I really dislike it when someone endorses a candidate after they already won in a district. To me it sounds like they are just bending which ever way the political wind is blowing and have no real backbone.

To me, an Edwards endorsement is too late, and would show his inability to make a decision. If he endorsed a couple weeks ago, I think it would have helped. But really, I don't think an Edwards endorsement is really going to make a difference.

The Republicans do the same thing. Bush Sr. and Romney endorse McCain AFTER he is the nominee.

It seems rather stupid, did they honestly think that public might think they are going to endorse Huckabee or Obama?

I say we need to ban late term endorsement. Only allow them BEFORE the case matters.


What do you think?

2. Same as anything else
I guess the same way you ban xerox comments. Heavy boos because they are lame attempts to get cheap political points.

4. These are done for party unity. By August we may all be very thankful for Late Endorsements

6. I liked it last night when Hillary endorsed Barack at the end of the debate....
"I am honored, absolutely honored, to be up here on stage with Barack Obama."
