I guess we can now look forward to House starting a new thread every time someone else endorses Obama.

In the spirit of Spector's remark, I'd just like to add that I'm rather partial to Obama myself (at least, in preference to the Republican candidate or HR Clinton). I know that Spector and I have strongly disagreed on this. Can I have a new thread as well? Jeff? Jeff?

It's really just another form of spam on House's part.

The US labour elites have been in bed with the Democrats forever, steadfastly refusing to support independent labour political action. The fact that one more union bureaucracy has pronounced itself in favour of one of the Democratic contenders is hardly surprising or worthy of comment (as evidenced by the huge yawn that greeted House's last breathless report about the Steelworkers).

We might as well have threads called "Oprah endorses Obama" or "Jack Nicholson endorses Clinton" etc., etc. etc.

Yeah, let's curb the thread proliferation. I'm sure we can probably put all the Obama endorsements in one thread.
