Maybe it's important to help Obama among deep Democrats where he is losing to Clinton, but do I really care if Kerry endorsed Obama? (AP/Ron Edmonds)

Obama doesn't look too thrilled in that picture.

That's why I chose it. There were others where they were both happy.

I just wonder how he feels running the "change" campaign and reaching back for this ultra establishment endorsement.

Is this the same John Kerry who won the election, and then wouldn't stand up and claim it? I'm not sure his endorsement should carry any weight.

Yeah, that's kinda what I meant.

Obama, the man of inspiration and excitement finds an endorsement from perhaps the most boring speaker in the Senate.

It'll be out of the news cycle by Friday afternoon. For better or worse, Kerry is not a mover and shaker.

Now if Ted Kennedy were to endorse... That would be news: The brother of JFK and RFK endorses Obama.

Yeah, that would be news.

Hey, that guy right at Kerry's (left) shoulder... He looks just like Wes Clark!

Of course the general is in the Clinton camp, but I thought it was an interesting doppelgänger spotting.

If we're playing that game I thought the guy over Kerry's left shoulder looked an awful lot like Clinton campaigner Terry McAuliffe.

Man! You're right.

I smell Photoshop! (kidding, of course)
