Iowa Gov. Culver (formally, his wife) is endorsing Edwards. When Vilsack went for Kerry 4 years ago, it was seen as a big boost. (Again, it was Mrs. V.) Let's hope for the same this time.
Iowa's first lady, who had said she would stay neutral in the presidential race, has changed her mind and plans to endorse Democrat John Edwards Monday.
"I decided to join in the fray," Mari Culver said in an interview today.
Culver said her husband, Gov. Chet Culver, will not endorse anyone, and she said her stance does not imply that he supports Edwards. "If the governor wanted to show a preference for a candidate, he would do so," she said. "My endorsement is as Mari Culver, Iowan. "I'm my own person. I have my own political interests.
UPDATE:Yes, the assumption that Mrs. Culver's endorsement signals the gov is mine, but not a great leap, I don't think. That's pretty much how it works.
