This is a completely legal practice that the campaign is doing OPENLY, not in secret. &amp;nbsp;All this whining and moaning about a few college students who will not get to vote at home if they don't vote at school seems a little overwrought to me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Nashville_fan &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Most federally elected officials in Iowa (and democratic Governors) refrain from endorsing in the caucus. Often their spouse will endorse, but not the elected official. Harkin was supporting Dean behind the scenes in 2003, and would have preferred to remain behind the scenes, but after the capture of Saddam, and &amp;quot;good news in Iraq&amp;quot;, and shrinking internal campaign polling, Sen. Harkin officially endorsed Dean, when Dean received 18% of the vote it was politically embarrassing for Harkin. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Congressman Braley is a close friend of Edwards. He was very active in his 04 campaign. Those who know Bruce knew he was supporting Edwards, and assumed at some point he'd officially endorse him.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;An Edwards/Biden ticket would be AWESOME!!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Pam the OC, CA &amp;quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It will never happen Biden won't be anyone's VP. Also the sensible priorities endorsement was a flop. The pledges were to support a candidate committed to reducing the defense budget. Biden was the only candidate (other than Kucinich) with a track record of voting to reduce Defense waste. Edwards had a very pro defense pork voting record. Sensible Priorities endorsed based upon perceived Iowa caucus viability (based upon statistically invalid polling), and not what candidate had the track record that was consistent with their goals, or even based on who had committed to their goals on the campaign. </description></item><item><title>IA Rep officially endorses Edwards</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/12/03/494291.aspx#496989</link><pubDate>Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:07:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:496989</guid><dc:creator>giacomo, Titisville, FL</dc:creator><description>Edwards is the candidate who can be elected President. &amp;nbsp;Richardson is my choice for VP. &amp;nbsp;Both Clinton and Obama are on the outside of the mainstream voter, their nomination will give the opostition a much greater chance of retaining power. &amp;nbsp;John Edwards, President.</description></item></channel></rss>
