Senator Kerry

I'm not quite sure what to make of Senator John Kerry's endorsement of Barack Obama. Will it have an impact on the actual primaries? It's still too early to tell. What is obvious is that right now there is no democratic party establishment consensus for Hillary Clinton. Kerry's fondness for Obama has been evident ever since he chose him to speak at the 2004 convention. His endorsement now shouldn't be seen as a slap at Edwards, since the two of them were never that close. What Edwards needs more than any endorsements is to keep on winning delegates, and to bring home a first place finish in at least one primary. Again, the most heartening development in this young primary season is the large democratic turnouts so far. The country has had its fill of Republicans!!
