MOST STANDARD READERS probably think the big campaign news of the days is Mitt Romney landing the endorsement of New Hampshire senator Judd Gregg. As an avowed Romney supporter, I applaud this development, while simultaneously questioning its import. How many people who vote actually care about endorsements? As a deeper question, should people who care about endorsements even be allowed to vote? Regardless, the Gregg endorsement will give some media bigfoots something to talk about for the next few hours, and may even get Romney some “inevitability” buzz in New Hampshire; that would give him a matching set with his Iowa “inevitability” buzz. If he wins both impressively, he will be tough to beat.
But Senator Gregg booking passage on the SS Romney isn’t the real political story of the day. Over on the Democratic side, gaffe-prone stumblebum Barack Obama has managed to find yet another pile of manure to plant his wingtips in.
