OBAMARAMA

Following the endorsement in SC by Sen. Kerry, Sen. Obama picked up key endorsements from AZ Governor Janet Napolitano and SD Senator Tim Johnson.  And now, CNN reports he’s getting the nod from conservative Nebraska Democratic Senator Ben Nelson.

Additionally, the New York Times is reporting that former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey, who has endorsed Sen. Clinton and even had to apologize to Sen. Obama for remarks about his ancestry and heritage, had this to say over a private lunch:

“If you’re talking about having somebody in your living room every day for four years — on the television — people are going to have to like listening to them. In that category, I like Obama better.”

Whether these affirmations of support from prominent Dems will make any difference remains to be seen — but if voters are hesitant to pull the lever for Sen. Obama because he lacks Washington experience, the seal of approval from these old Washington hands should help assuage those concerns.
