HOW CAN IT BE THAT NO ONE IS ENDORSING SPITBULL FOR SOMETHING?
The parade of endorsements rumbles on:
UPDATE: Spitbull screwed up (big shocker, huh?). It appears one of the 368 statement-signing economists is our own King Banaian and he's hardly garden-variety.
- The Miami Herald reports five Minnesota newspapers and North Dakota's largest newspaper have endorsed President Bush.
- Both President Bush and Senator Kerry's hometown papers have reportedly endorsed the out-of-town candidate.
- Former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura came up with an adorable and novel way to broadcast his whole-hearted endorsement of John Kerry: a charades news conference!
- In a battle of the big brains, 48 Nobel Laureates and 10 Nobel economists endorsed John Kerry (no, I didn't check to see whether there was any double-counting). But 6 other Nobel economists and 362 garden variety economists signed a statement opposing Kerry's economic agenda.
- Yasser Arafat and Spanish Socialist Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero prefer Kerry (he's the overwhelming choice of 32 countries). Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and famous anti-semite tried to endorse Kerry but was rejected. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi support Bush.
- Most rockers, novelists and artists are for Kerry.
