Obama endorsement news! But still not any of the ones were hoping for. California SEIU, once supporting Edwards, is now endorsing Obama, as is MoveOn.org (for the first time in its history) and Seattle's mayor, Greg Nickels. The big one today is the L.A. Times, endorsing a presidential candidate for the first time since 1972. But the most important media hype of the week may still be Ted Kennedy's twenty-minute appearance on El PiolĂn, a Spanish-language radio show which, despite the fact I've never heard of it, is the most popular radio show in America, beating Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh every weekday morning.
Having already gotten two endorsement predictions wrong so far today, I'm not putting any stock in this, but I must say I find the unsourced and unfounded speculation in this comment at Kos about the 70,000 person venue Obama has chosen for his Saturday night rally in St. Louis very interesting...
