Does anybody really think for one moment that any of we the people that are registered voters, that vote, would be affected by any endorsement? The answer is of course not. The endorsements are nothing more than party member statements by leading politicians to other politicians in an attempt to sway their favor as well as their special interest groups, lobbyists and all other free loaders.
If some looked at Obama with the same magnifying glass they always use on Bush they no doubt would not think very kindly of him either. But since hell is not forecast to freeze over anytime soon, we won't hold our breath waiting for that to happen.

Endorsements likely swing some weight in primary races, as supporters of the endorser are of the same general political persuasion as the endorsee. In the general election the endorsements are mostly formality, although some editorial boards endorsements may carry some weight with independents.
