MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Former Vice President Walter Mondale is endorsing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for president, the Clinton campaign announced Sunday.

"America is ready for change, and Hillary Clinton has the strength and experience to deliver it," Mondale said in a statement released by the campaign. "Hillary is uniquely qualified to rebuild America's standing in the world and lead this nation from her first day in the White House."

Mondale, a former U.S. senator from Minnesota, was vice president from 1977 to 1981 under President Carter. He was the Democratic nominee for president in 1984, but lost to Ronald Reagan in the general election.

Mondale also was U.S. Ambassador to Japan from 1993 to 1996.

Clinton, D-N.Y., said she was "deeply honored" to have Mondale's support.

The Republican National Committee noted with glee that it was her second endorsement by a failed Democratic presidential nominee. The other endorsement came from George McGovern, the 1972 nominee who was soundly defeated in the general election by Richard Nixon.

"Hillary Clinton's endorsement from yet another failed Democrat presidential candidate underscores concerns the American people will have with her own candidacy," said RNC spokesman Danny Diaz.

Why would anyone care what Mondale says, this old ‘never was’ didn’’t even make it to the ranks of a ‘’has been.’’

I remember that night. What an outrage that was.

Didn’t his daughter Eleanor “endorse” his slickness numerous times?

[My Favorite Headache]

Experience? Doing what hey Walter?

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

What he actually said (drooled) was “Who are you?” “Who am I?”

[My Favorite Headache]

Yeah but how many of those votes were not counted and people were disenfranchised? ;)

The Gore/Soros/DNC lie machine...disenfranchised voters.

According to the Starr report, Monica Lewinsky showed up for one her "counseling sessions" with President Clinton but was not admitted to the White House because the President was "in conference" with Eleanor Mondale.

Monica threw a hissy fit that embrassed the uniformed Secret Service guards.

Mondale endorsing Clinton sort of reminds me of Dr. Lewinsky's [a big Democratic donor, up to that time] reaction when he received a mail solicitation from Clinton's legal defense fund. Needless to say he was infuriated. Mondale just doesn't have any self respect.

Whoa! Thats a good rumor, and believable to me. You have any good details, up to and including blue dresses or the like?

” Ha Ha, Mondull didn’t even win Taxachusetts “

Ah....the 1984 election. It was the first that I ever watched on TV. I was only 14 years old. I really enjoyed watching Reagan curb-stomp Mondale. What great memories.

Has Jimmah Carter chimed in yet?

>> Has Jimmah Carter chimed in yet? <<

As a matter of fact, yes. He's said he supports Edwards unless Al Gore enters the race.

Personally I hope Hillary will get the George McGovern endorsement next. Then she can have the "49 state loser presidential candidate" endorsements locked up.

I remember her crying when the press went after her. She said something along the lines of “I’m one of YOU!”, aka “liberal”.

[ArcadeQuarters]

How damaging is this to the Clinton campaign?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

See post #57. It was the the Starr report.

One loser supports another loser.

Well, the American people may not have had faith in Mondale, but they surely do in Clinton — at least 49 percent+ do, and that’s enough in Clintoid politics.
