Jack Carter, son of Jimmy Carter, endorses Barack Obama

[Colobo]

The race now moves to Nevada, where Obama’s people are trumpeting their endorsement by Jack Carter, oldest son of former President Jimmy Carter. As we recall, Jack Carter was originally a Joe Biden man.

1. good.

I don't know that this will help Obama, but I'm glad he got it.

4. Carter's a fairly well-known commodity in Nevada...

having lost a senate bid to Ensign in 2006. I'm not convinced of the efficacy of almost any single-person endorsement -- I think the Culinary Union endorsement matters a lot more that Carter or anyone else, as far as Nevada goes -- but I certainly don't think it hurts.

10. Even though he lost his race to the repug

..he'd had to have an operating campaign network. I don't know much about him but I like his father a lot..all he's done for humanity.

9. I'm thinking... not so much

[GodlessBiker]

[MissMillie]

5. Great news

6. I'd love to know who Jimmy Carter supports...

I especially trust his judgment on things related to the Middle East.

12. Jimmy has done events with John Edwards

but has not endorsed any of the candidates.

[polichick]

14. It makes sense that they'd get along...

Maybe we'll hear from him one of these days.

[RubyDuby in GA]

19. I agree. I take his appearance with Edwards as tacit approval

and that speaks V-O-L-U-M-E-S to me.

7. Pity Jack didn't win his race. NT

8. I think that's Obama's first big endorsement in NV

from an individual.

[CountAllVotes]

11. good on ya Jack!

:dem: :kick: & recommend!! :D

[BenDavid]

13. Hell Jack is so well liked he could not win the senate race.

16. Nice! n/t

21. Not surprising. Jimmy Carter, whom I love, really hates the Clintons.

Especially dislikes Bill for his incident with Monica. Jimmy is a true sourthern Baptist. Jack support of Obama may be one the biggest endorsements as many people love and respect Jimmy Carter.
