The overwhelming primary victory in South Carolina on Saturday was just the beginning of the good news for Barack Obama. Sunday he picked up endorsements from the Philadelphia Inquirer and Sacramento Bee newspapers.But, most importantly, he gained endorsements from long respected Democratic stalwart Senator Edward M Kennedy and the daughter of the late President John F Kennedy, Caroline Kennedy. These two key endorsements will hold substantial weight and thought in the minds and opinions of older Democratic voters, an area where Obama has lesser support.
The Clinton machine has to be further stunned with these two endorsements. Obama is gaining momentum and it very well may result in greater successes and endorsements with further surprising victories in the primaries coming in the next nine days.
