Red State Dems Endorsing Obama

Barack Obama won another endorsement from a Democratic senator today. Claire McCaskill of Missouri described the optimism and inspiration of Obama in explaining her decision to endorse the guy whose only been in the Senate 2 years longer than she has.

Obama now has 6 senate endorsements compared to Hillary's 9. From what I know, Kerry is the only non-midwesterner in his column.

Oliver Kiefer said...: Jack, do you know the complete list of Senate endorsements? I'd love to see a comparison of who is supporting each.; January 13, 2008 11:32 PM
Jack Craver said...: I've actually been looking for the same thing without any luck. But here's what I know:

Obama:
Dick Durbin (IL)
Kent Conrad (ND)
Tim Johnson (SD)
Ben Nelson (NE)
Claire McCaskill (MO)
John Kerry

Clinton:
Bob Menendez (NJ)
Debbie Stabenow (MI)
Sheldon Whitehouse (RI)
Maria Cantwell (WA)
Diane Feinstein (CA)
Barbara Mikulski (MD)
Evan Bayh (IN)
And Chuck Schumer, obviously.

Apparently Hillary has 1 more that I am missing. Except for Bayh, red-staters or moderates have shown a reluctance to associate with her that might be telling. I was honestly surprised that Ben Nelson for instance endorsed a Democrat at all.; January 14, 2008 10:39 AM

Either Akaka or Inouye. I cant remember.; January 18, 2008 11:05 PM
