Former DNC Chair and Kennedy Ally Paul Kirk Endorses Bernie! [View all] Fawke Em Jan 2016 OP

Endorsements don't matter much and this one in particular is hardly anything to get excited about. Metric System Jan 2016 #1

The thing about this one is only that he's a Kennedy family ally. eom Fawke Em Jan 2016 #2

I think anyone can get excited about anything he or she feels like getting excited about. merrily Jan 2016 #5

Yep. Fawke Em Jan 2016 #6

Just a reminder someone involved with politics that long is the establishment. Agschmid Jan 2016 #20

As much as almost anyone- you can say he represents what was the Kennedy wing of the party karynnj Jan 2016 #18

Former DNC Chair? He was a U.S. Senator! merrily Jan 2016 #3

Yes - and a Kennedy ally! Fawke Em Jan 2016 #4

I guess that Howard Dean may not like this. sadoldgirl Jan 2016 #9

Who gives a crap what Howard Dean does or doesn't like? merrily Jan 2016 #12

Both are former DNC chairs. Bernie now has an equal to Dean to go on shows opposite him Motown_Johnny Jan 2016 #15

My point was, I could not care less what Dean does or doesn't like. merrily Jan 2016 #17

I don't think any of us do. Motown_Johnny Jan 2016 #21

I don't think Howard has been a great get for shows since 2009. merrily Jan 2016 #35

You will understand this. pangaia Jan 2016 #22

I must admit, when she said 'here from Massachusetts' Kentonio Jan 2016 #11

Good point, but I think it is early for that one to endorse. Motown_Johnny Jan 2016 #16

I have to say... PyaarRevolution Jan 2016 #13

I've heard of him.....long-time Kennedy ally. Punkingal Jan 2016 #19

A lot of people in New England know who he is. Fawke Em Jan 2016 #24

Can we now kick DWS out and put Sen. Kirk in??? Please! Motown_Johnny Jan 2016 #14
