Joe Andrew, former Chairman of the DNC threw his support behind Obama. This is of course after he threw his support behind Hillary. One thing you’ve got to admire is the consistency of liberals. They always enjoy voting for something prior to voting against it. Andrew cites a number of reasons as to why Obama is the “right” choice. He goes on to wonder “how the world would be different if Al Gore and not George Bush, would have been President of the United States.” Well for starters we would have let Al-Qaeda get away with 9-11, and we would...

I have been inspired. Today I am announcing my support for Senator Barack Obama for President of the United States of America. I am changing my support from Senator Clinton to Senator Obama, and calling for my fellow Democrats across my home State of Indiana, and my fellow super delegates across the nation, to heal the rift in our Party and unite behind Barack Obama. The hardest decisions in life are not between good and bad or right and wrong, but between two goods or two rights. That is the decision Democrats face today. We have an embarrassment of riches,...

It's turning out to be a red-letter day for Hoosiers. This morning, Joe Scarborough tricked Mika Brzezinski into agreeing that the famous coach of the Indiana basketball team was Bear Bryant, of all people, rather than Bobby Knight. This afternoon on MSNBC, when Howard Wolfson questioned the Hoosier bona fides of a superdelegate who today announced he was switching from Clinton to Obama, Andrea Mitchell turned the Clinton aide's gambit back on Hillary with a vengeance.

Excerpt - WASHINGTON (AP) — A leader of the Democratic Party under Bill Clinton has switched his allegiance to Barack Obama and is encouraging fellow Democrats to "heal the rift in our party" and unite behind the Illinois senator. Joe Andrew, who was Democratic National Committee chairman from 1999-2001, planned a news conference Thursday in his hometown of Indianapolis to urge other Hoosiers to support Obama in Tuesday's primary, perhaps the most important contest left in the White House race. He also has written a lengthy letter explaining his decision that he plans to send to other superdelegates. "I am...

Diebold hires top Dem for PR blitz Former party chairman make the case for voting to California By Ian Hoffman, STAFF WRITER With a phone call and a retainer, Diebold CEO Walden O'Dell has launched former Democratic National Committee chairman Joe Andrew on a 50-state ambassadorship for electronic voting. O'Dell said he ``wanted to reframe some of the issues,'' Andrew said. His first stop: California, the nation's largest market for voting machines and the place where Diebold's fortunes as the largest supplier of electronic-voting machines in the nation could be made or broken. ``Even if you have tremendous success every...

<p>INDIANAPOLIS — Gov. Joe Kernan said last night that he will run for a full term as governor next year, strengthening Democrats' chances of retaining the office they've held since 1989.</p> <p>Kernan, 57, reversed a decision he made last December, well before he was thrust into the office when Gov. Frank O'Bannon died eight weeks ago.</p>

<p>Only a year ago, the most boring story in politics revolved around the Democratic nomination for governor in 2004.</p> <p>It was Lt. Gov. Joe Kernan's for the asking.</p> <p>Except he didn't ask.</p> <p>Ever since, it's been one surprise after the next, culminating last week when Joe Andrew, one of three Democrats seeking the 2004 nomination, announced that Bren Simon, wife of Indiana Pacers co-owner Mel Simon, would be his running mate.</p>

INDIANAPOLIS - Ending months of speculation, former White House budget director Mitch Daniels filed paperwork Monday to start raising money for a 2004 run for Indiana governor. The announcement outside the Statehouse came from state Sen. Murray Clark of Indianapolis, who said he was dropping his bid for the GOP nomination to head Daniels' campaign committee. "He is the right person at the right time," Clark said in his endorsement of Daniels, who did not attend the news conference so he could make calls for support. Supporters said Clark's withdrawal gave the official start of the Daniels campaign a tremendous...

NDIANAPOLIS - Former state and national Democratic Party chairman Joe Andrew announced his candidacy for governor Monday by pledging to make job creation his top priority and Indiana a leader in automobile technology. "If you want a governor who values those Hoosier virtues of hard work, frugality, faith, patriotism and common sense, then join me on this journey," he said before family, friends and supporters at an Allen County farm where he spent some of his boyhood years. State Sen. Vi Simpson also is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor. Five Republicans have announced plans to run, and Mitch Daniels,...

INDIANAPOLIS - Former state and national Democratic Party chairman Joe Andrew said he will enter the race to become Indiana's next governor. Andrew, 42, joins state Sen. Vi Simpson of Bloomington in a primary race that was thrown into confusion in December, when Lt. Gov. Joe Kernan unexpectedly dropped his campaign. Kernan had been the party's presumptive nominee to replace Democratic Gov. Frank O'Bannon, who is barred by term limits from running again next year. Andrew is seeking elected office for the first time. He was the Indiana Democratic chairman from 1995 until 1999, then served as national chairman until...
