I thought she already endorsed him previously?

who?

The daughter of a president from 45 years ago.  Good catch!

Doesn't make a difference to me and I doubt it will have any impact.

Another Wine-and-cheese Liberal comes out for Obama? Shocking only because I thought that they had all endorsed already.

It will be well read.  How important matters more on what she said.

. . . so goes. . . er. . . no one at all.

"I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them. But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president -- not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans."

Nice get for Obama.

nice one for Obama - I dont think it will do much, just like Kerry's endorsement prior to NH

Give me a break. If I went out in the street and asked 100 people who Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg was could ten tell me? Todd might consider it the best thing since sliced bread but it's not going to make much difference.

loved loved loved Caroline's endorsement.

It fits the MSM narration that Obama is like JFK, RFK, and MLK.

I think it's amazing that the world has changed so much in the past few decades that a man can rise up from the middle class and achieve a dream like this.

Kennedy had a trust fund of 1 million dollars as a child I recently read in the encyclopedia.

But they both attended Harvard!

WOW!  Good get for Barack.  I wonder if the people endorsing him really believe he can win in a general election.  Or are people speaking with their hearts.

Obama should have in an ad using some of her words about JFK and about inspiration.

Some of you may poo poo this, but for anyone over 50 who is a Democrat, this will be very powerful.  In political terms, it goes straight at a demographic that HRC has been winning.  

And JFK still lives on as a symbol of the young, vibrant, creative, optimistic America for so many people.

Bill Clinton knew that in 1992 and kept showing that picture of him shaking Kennedy's hand.

Obama knows that now, as he runs (as Bill did in 1992) a campaign about the future, not the past.

Man, that is some good symbolism.  Hey, we can talk about who has heard of her or whether it affects a vote, but...

stagecraft is stagecraft.

Obama's my second choice, and CKS seems like a lovely woman, but I don't think endorsements count much. If her mother were still alive and endorsed, that might bring out the starry-eyed Camelotians. Maybe Uncle Teddy....

Obama is trying to make race an issue in his quest for the White House.
He will do anything to win.
He plays dirty, and will not win.
New York will laugh at him, and people will get sick of him.
Super Tuesday will break him, but he will try to lie his way to some wins.
See through him, and vote for another candidate.
I am,

I think it's a nice item to add to an impressive list of endorsements for Obama and he should be proud of it, but I'll have to disagree with Todd. I don't think it will carry any real weight at all, symbolic or otherwise. I really doubt that most people even know who she is.  It will have about as much effect as most endorsements do - none.

In New York, this is very big -- trust me.

Throughout the country this will be big.  Everyone understands the symbolism of the endorsement.  It gives credence to the notion of this generation's JFK.  It's very interesting to look at this in context of the last paragraph of the St. Louis Dispatch endorsement in tomorrow's paper:

In January of 1961, Ann Dunham Obama was six weeks pregnant with Barack Obama Sr.'s child when President Kennedy said at his inauguration that "the torch has been passed to a new generation." It's that time again.

You overlook the subtle dig: "I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them."

I guess she wasn't singing Fleetwood Mac songs in 1992. Of all the endorsements I've seen both sides get, this one definitely has the capacity to influence the over 55 demographic. Coupled with the size of Obama's SC victory, it could just keep him in the race past Super Tuesday.

Hillary needs a sizable delegate lead by Feb 6th is she's going to hold him off.

Controlling and manipulating the media narrative is key to winning. The press will eat this up. Obama as the new JFK. The message of hope versus the politics of fear and sleaze.

Together with getting the majority of white youth, half of white males and more votes then the 2 leading Republicans in a Republican state and trouncing Hilary in a landslide after Bill Clinton threw everything he had at him?

The Clinton's have lost control of the narrative in the media and that could be huge for Barack's momentum. After hearing Barack's victory speech I'm switching my vote from Edwards to Obama.
