Democrat Endorsements
Interesting
Not to get to much into the racial politics being through about on the left side of aisle of late, but I made an interesting observation yesterday. A good portion of Senator Obama's Senate and House endorsements come from Midwestern states, e.g. red states. His most recent additions being Senator McCaskill from MO and Ben Nelson from NE. Senator Clinton gets a ton of support from the coasts. Perhaps the folks in the middle of the country aren't a bunch a dumb rednecks that the liberal coastal elites would have you believe.
I'll try to find time to map this out. But it seems to me, the if the Democrats want to retake the White House, perhaps they may want to look at a candidate that makes the competitive in middle America?
