Caroline Kennedy & Claire McCaskell report they support Obama because

[kelligesq]

their kids were so taken with him..........................

Altman on KO reporting

now does that make any sense?

support a candidate because your non voting age children are turned on by someone who looks like a young hip guy?

Look at the wilding that has gotten on DU

insanity

1. You mean Alter...idiot.

[rodeodance]

3. yes, Jon Alter has turned into a real idoit.

[ShortnFiery]

2. You and I (plus all of DU) KNOW that much more thought went into their support of Obama

but go ahead and SMEAR for your *illustrious* heroine. :eyes:

8. There you go again-purporting to speak for 'all' of DU!!

You and I (plus all of DU) KNOW that much more thought went into their support of Obama

but go ahead and SMEAR for your *illustrious* heroine. :eyes:

4. Actually, two out of three of her kids are of voting age.

(Not that facts should matter or anything.)

5. Claire McCaskell has been very disappointing.

[avaistheone1]

9. Claire McCaskell just sold her sold her soul out to help the telecoms.

Screw whatever she has to say.

6. I heard that too and went :-O

[H2O Man]

7. you are silly

[Seabiscuit]

10. I don't know if that is accurate. It just seems a little weird to be basing your

support like that. It almost sounds like they consider him a pet or something. Weird. I hope there is a link the story later about this.

[Pirate Smile]

12. It is not accurate.

edit to add - Perhaps I should say it is incomplete.

That isn't "why" they support him.

It may have been the kick in Claire's butt to get her to go public and take a stand. She was already a big Obama person.

It may have been the impetus for Caroline Kennedy to find out more but it wasn't the reason "why" she endorsed him.

11. Kennedy has 3 children, two of which are voting age. McCaskell has

a blended family with 7 kids, the oldest of which is 31 and the youngest of which is 15.
