So it's been a busy week for both parties, notably the Democrats, in terms of endorsements for our lovely candidates. More and more Republicans are coming out to give their support to John McCain, who if Michigan proves successful, will emerge as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination. But it's the Democrats, or a certain someone called Barack Obama, that the endorsements have been coming thick and fast. Janet Napolitano, the Governor of Arizona, has leant her support to Obama as she thinks 'he's a new young voice who has new appeal, particularly for those of us in the West'. This is important for Obama as the Democrats go into the neighbouring Nevada for their caucuses next week. Even better news for Obama is that he has also received the backing of a prominent union of casino employees in Nevada, so if Obama does not pick up Nevada next week it will certainly be a shocking result. However, well it depends on how you interpret this, it's not all roses and sunshine for Obama. He has also received the support of the 2004 Democratic nomination John Kerry. It remains to be be seen how this will affect Obama's campaign going into Michigan and Nevada, and beyond, but it didn't make it any less funny when Stephen Colbert responded to this news: 'I don't agree with anything he did, or anything he stood for, but he did not deserve that'.
