With news this morning that NM Gov. Bill Richardson endorsed Obama this morning, and the Obama campaign is planning on rolling out more endorsements between now and April 22nd's Pennsylvania primary "to create a sense of momentum," one wonders what happened to erstwhile candidate and number one endorsement get ex-Sen. John Edwards.
Many of you have rightly criticized Sen. Obama for failing to vote against Kyl-Lieberman's quasi-Iran war resolution and other no shows (or late shows) on critical issues. And many of you have rightly praised Sen. Dodd's leadership on Habeas and FISA.
But today Dodd "pulled an Obama" and didn't show for a critical vote when it mattered. The nomination of Judge Southwick.
In 2004, it can be argued that IAFF's endorsement of John Kerry provided him with the manpower and support he needed to win Iowa (and as a result the nomination).
