Very good news. The snowball is starting.
I am really happy to see this endorsement. This is one that means something.
Historically who has this organization endorsed?
Their Local in St. Paul has been going after the very liberal Dem mayor Chris Coleman very hard of late too. (I do have to give credit to Coleman for keeping a lid on things during the RNC, though, he did a good job there.)
Excellent!
This is amazing . . .
Wow, usually the cops endorse the gun grabbers.

It is really no surprise.
McCain’s friends support policemen.
Obama’s friends try to kill policemen

Don’t most groups usually wait until October before releasing their endorsements? The fact that these are coming now (I think there was another prominent one last week) bodes well for Mac/Palin and so NOT well for those other guys.

They endorsed Bush vs Kerry and criticized Kerry for implying otherwise.
Interesting background - so they’re actually looking to endorse candidates that they think are good for law enforcement, and they believe McCain is the right guy.
