(I think we will all be looking forward to Calitics' coverage of this event. Our Senator has game and support across the country. - promoted by blogswarm)
Next week, I will be attending Barbara Boxer's kick-off for her 2010 campaign for re-election at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco which features presidential candidate/rock star Barack Obama. My question is, does anyone suspect, as I do, that Boxer will have a bombshell announcement for the crowd, the media and California? Will she endorse Obama for president?
None of this is backed up by fact, but on paper, Obama and Boxer are a perfect fit. Boxer voted against going to war in Iraq and Obama is the only candidate, other than Kucinich, who opposed the war at the very beginning. Such an endorsement would enhance Obama's credibility in the netroots and progressive communities and help immensely in the Bay Area in what I expect to be a slugfest between him and Hillary Clinton in the state. What's more, it will open a lot of Bay Area wallets that might otherwise be handed over to Clinton. I'll be waiting with baited breath.
