Barak Obama's Republican supporters have spoken, Whitman is their candidate.

Richard Riordan Endorses Barak Obama and Meg Whitman.

Nice. That Glass house is getting decimated. The New Majority is the only debate Whitman is participating in (where she has a friendly audience) and their poster-child candidate from a few years ago was Christci Cristich - Orange County Chairwoman of Republicans for Clinton.

Riordan said this about Obama: ''We want the best person to be president of the United States, whether they are Republican or Democrat, and clearly Obama is the best candidate,'' said Riordan ...

''Senator Obama is the kind of leader we need to get us through these tough economic times."

Note to the Whitman team - vet your endorsements better. Obama has done a superb job with the economy, hasn't he? Maybe Riordan is angling to be part of Whitman's staff?

Now Riordan says of Whitman, "Her commitment to returning control of our schools back to parents and teachers and demanding accountability makes Meg the best candidate."

Just one blogger writing here - but Riordan should have stuck to comments about how Whitman is the best candidate to run California's economy. It is apparent from Whitman's recent campaigning that she is spending a tremendous amount of money to try and create an image of herself being the education candidate... when the record shows stock spinning, insider training and someone disengaged from voting let alone education.

It is important to look at who endorses who and why. Recently, I set a couple of North State tax-raising supervisors (one former) on fire for their endorsements of Whitman. It is a valid excercise when you start to look at them teams that form. When you add tax-raising North-State Assemblymen to the endorsement mix, it starts to make clear sense.

Again, the Whitman campaign continues its' Kamakize run. Barak Obama's Republican supporters have spoken, Whitman is their candidate.
