Bloggers’ Primary Endorsements (Joe)

I thought it might be interesting to have a post with the primary endorsements of liberal bloggers. As I discover new ones (readers: here’s your chance to be helpful!), I’ll update this post.

John Edwards

  • Joe. I’m not going to write up a separate endorsement post–my feelings are expressed in the post and the discussion in comments with Ruchira. It may be worth noting that I want to be supporting Obama, and feel guilty about not doing so–but Edwards is my guy.
  • Brian Leiter wanted Edwards, but after the Iowa results is declaring his candidacy dead and prefers Obama to Clinton.
  • Amanda Marcotte: he’s running as a progressive, and that outweighs role modeling / identity politics.
  • Ezra Klein? Can anyone confirm this? I don’t read him regularly, but that’s the sense I get. EDIT: Maybe Ezra likes Obama? He could theoretically even be neutral on the various Dems.
  • Neil Sinhababu

Barack Obama

Hillary Clinton

  • Kevin Drum: well… the Obama bandwagon’s starting to look pretty good…

NOTE: This post makes no representation of accurate proportionality. These are simply the blogs I and any potential commenters are familiar with. And I don’t read Kos or its 8 million contributors.

    Joe, see this post by Ezra Klein after Obama’s Iowa win. Not quite endorsement, but no head banging either.
    The way I see it, most Edwards supporters (my husband, Brian Leiter, Ezra Klein and perhaps even you) are able to live with an eventual Obama victory. What they all fear is a Clinton-Clinton sequel.
    And just as I had speculated in my comment about Obama and African Americans, my middle aged AA neighbors and friends who were vacillating between Hillary and Obama, are now squarely and enthusiastically in the Obama camp.

    kevin drum supports clinton. sort of. i think e. klein is more anti-clinton that in either the obama or edwards camp (though you are right imo, he has leaned edwards if i had to make a call).

    I feel extremely satisfied this morning with the results of the New Hampshire Primary. I have nothing further to say about the incorrect and distorted numbers that the media has been reporting over the past 5 days but . . . the masses finally have your number! I was raised to believe that hard work and good intentions do pay off and I’m hoping to see our first female President soon. Hooray for Hillary!
