Finally, after all this time of hearing about the juggernaut, onslaught, race changing endorsement of Ted Kennedy the Washington Times has an article up mirroring my own thoughts. New polling suggests the endorsement did very little with actually moving voters.

Now let me qualify this. One I am not trusting a lot of the polling coming out over the weekend and we won’t truly know until later tonight whether or not the Kennedy helped in turning the tide for Obama. With that said, I will be looking at Mass. If Obama does better in Kennedy’s home state, where he has also been endorsed by the Governor and the other US Senator John Kerry, then something amazing happened with the endorsement. Also if Obama does very well with hispanic voters in California, again we may have evidence of a plus effect.

Beyond that, I seriously don’t think it did much but we will see.

Meanwhile for an alternative view check out Washington Post.

Update: Barack Obama has won the support of the 60,000-member Culinary Workers Union in Nevada

Culinary Workers Local 226, Nevada’s largest and most politically active union has yet to make its endorsement in the Democratic Race. NBC’s Tim Russert had asserted on the Today Show that the union was going to come out for Barack Obama, but with Hillary Clinton’s upset in New Hampshire the Politico is reporting the decision hasn’t yet been made.

The union represents from 60,000 casino and hotel workers.

Meanwhile Ben Smith at the Politico reports that the SEIU union in Nevada has come out for Barack Obama. It only has a quarter of the members of the Culinary union.

From The Hill you can keep track of all those Congressional endorsements going to candidates like Ron Paul (0), Tommy Thompson (0), Tom Tancredo (0), Dennis Kucinich (0), Mike Gravel (0).

OK so they are not exactly lighting the world on fire. But plenty of candidates are getting endorsed so check it out.
