Although endorsements have been dwindling in importance in elections for more than half a century, candidates still seek them and proudly parade them publicly. The Giuliani campaign is eating crow today, though, for releasing a list of New Hampshire supporters and endorsements which includes several names who have NOT given the Mayor their support. Philip Elliott of the Associated Press reports:
Alongside a former state GOP chairman, a congressman and an executive councilor who do support Giuliani, a handful of people made the list of 125 supporters despite their objections.
Some are openly criticizing their mistaken inclusion. Others, who did not want to be quoted or to embarrass the Giuliani campaign, have since decided to join it.Wendy Stanley Jones, named a state co-chair for Women for Giuliani, said she was considering Giuliani, but also was weighing staying out of the race because of a busy personal schedule.
Read the whole story at the link above. Perhaps it's not a major scandal, but it does expose some chinks in the armor, perhaps caused by Giuliani's later entry into the race. In any case, McCain must be pleased to have the spotlight shining somewhere else for a day . . .
