Endorsement News

My mother switched from Edwards to Obama now, so we're a united family. Obama has actually stopped visiting Georgia because his victory here on February 5th is looking like a sure thing.

In other endorsement news, "Cooter" from the Dukes of Hazzard is an Obama supporter. The news really caught my eye because when I was a little kid, my grandfather gave me an autographed "Cooter" photo from some political event and it was framed in my room for the longest time...

Cooter: ‘Obama beats all I ever saw’

Former Rep. Ben Jones, aka Cooter from “The Dukes of Hazzard,” today endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president.

Said Jones in a press release:

As a lifelong Southerner, I am much impressed by his sincerity, his down to earth style, and his earnest approach to people of all backgrounds.

Obama could not be reached for a statement, but this afternoon his campaign bus successfully jumped a ravine, after which the junior senator from Illinois leaned out a window and fired arrows of dynamite at rival Sen. Hillary Clinton’s bus. Clinton was not injured, but according to a spokesman, the former First Lady “felt snubbed.”

The press release announcing Cooter’s endorsement is after the jump. Yee-haw!
