The Junior Senator from Illinois.
I searched for this news among the diaries, and was surprised not to see it, when the dateline on the story at the link above is the 8th! To those Kossacks who have no respect for Hart, this will not matter. Others may have a more engaged view. Obama partisans will rejoice. I am leaning to Obama, while missing Clark, Gore and George McGovern, dammit, myself, and Hart is an ambiguous figure for me, but it's interesting to see him join the Obama endorsement rolls. Come below the fold for some chewy meta.....
Weirdly, I first saw mention of this on the newscrawler at the end of Tweety's program yesterday, which I only see when I turn on the TV at the beginning of Countdown. Then I hear no more of it. Then I search dKos and it's not mentioned.
Then, of course, I resort to the Google. There it is, in the not-too-obscure Denver Post!! Fascinating.
Anyway, thought you'd potentially like to get the news, however belatedly, and whether you are an Obama backer or not. Discuss away about the significance, if any, of this endorsement, and the meaning of its incredibly low profile in the national media and even dKos over these last three days!!
