Clinton Endorses Edwards

Bill Clinton Endorses Edwards

Yes, Bill Clinton has endorsed John Edwards. Bill Clinton of Carroll, Iowa, that is. From the in box, the Edwards camp announces chairs in all 99 counties. A lot of familiar names from four years ago on that list including the Johnson County names Neuzil and Redlawsk.

Familiar names are Edwards' ace in the hole. Because of his prior campaign and because of the non-secret nature of the Democratic caucus vote, Edwards has something no other candidate has (except Dennis Kucinich, who likely can't afford the steep admission price to the Iowa Democratic Party database). Edwards has a list of people who have already voted for him once. It's a pot of gold that, should he hold his current Iowa lead, will help him consolidate that on January 14. Or 7.

Edwards will also be in my fair city this weekend. 12:30 Saturday at the county fairgrounds.
