From the Obama-centric link wire:
Kathleen Sebelius, Governor of Kansas and rising star in the Democratic party will present the Dems’ rebuttal to the President’s State of the Union tonight and according to The Atlantic, will endorse Obama later this week. This could be a big boost if her speech gets the kind of hype as let’s say a Barack Obama 2004 Convention speech…
But no one should overestimate the importance of a Sebelius endorsement, particularly in light of the Kennedy endorsements. Some, like The Guardian, are wondering if Kennedy’s endorsement will be a negative for team Obama. Please. This is still the primaries. If Obama gets the nomination, this will not be something his GOP opponent will be able to make much of a wave with – right now, making up ground in liberal ’super-Tuesday’ states is the primary objective for Obama at this point, and Kennedy helps that a lot.
Howard Kurtz’ Media Notes looks at the curious appeal of the Obama campaign’s lack of effort to win over the press corp.
But apparently the Illinois Senator has no trouble with the British Press (Guardian UK).
