Read about the effect of endorsements on political campaigns and let me know what you think! (This article is shorter than the last one!)

Do you believe that Robertson's endorsement of Giuliani will help or hinder his bid for the White House in Election '08? Would it influence your vote if someone you like or dislike endorses a particular candidate? Share your thoughts!

I think endorsements play some kind of a big role because it shows wat type of people support you and you can compare yourself with the person giving the endorsments and see if your values are the same. like for example if a rich land owning texas southerner were to endorse guliani it would kind of give u a hint of the type of people that would most likely support him and he would try 2 make them happy also by probably not charging the rich so much taxes. i believe endorsements are the face of the candidate and if some one that i dislike were to endorse a canidate it would make me do more research on the canidate and see what he supports.
