The Bear only recently blogged that a decision would be made this week concerning his endorsement of the Democratic candidate for President of these United States.
A comment made during this blog indicated that Barbara Christian was supporting Hillary Clinton.
We learned today that Ms Christian has changed her view on this race and inspired by Senator Barack Obama's recent speeches and buoyed by the backing of Senator Ted Kennedy and his family, announced she would come out for Barack Obama. Ms Christian indicated she was not happy with the tenor of the campaigning of the former President Bill Clinton in South Carolina.
More was to come. Last night while watching the SAG Awards show. (Great job Javier Bardem and the cast of No Country For Old Men), Mr. Timothy Christian (son four) called to make an announcement he was leaving the Edwards camp and will support Barack Obama, stating that the South Carolina speech,following his victory was sensational. It was. Whatever is happening with this campaign, there is no doubt the Obama charisma is affecting thousands of Democrats and Independents from coast to coast. We will learn more in next week.
The Bear welcomes this excitement. He was quoted as saying just today: "Hell, I hope it goes to the Convention before we get a candidate." Just like the old days. Who besides the press, trying to influence the "now generation" likes these early victories by the candidates. Wasn't it great when the candidates were chosen by their faithful with compromises, deals, promises and trades being made in the so called "evil smoke filled rooms" That was drama!
Ok, so you say the Bear is playing the waiting game! "You are 100% right. We must in the Democratic Party come up with a candidate who will inspire the masses and lead us to a major victory in November, which will bring a stronger Democratic Congress so important legislation can be fashioned with the support of our President.
That being the case, the announcement of my candidate will be coming most probably Wednesday or Thursday of this week and if the Fenton news gets upset or the Riverfront Times calls me a "pussy" so be it.
How about the Bear family making these major changes. Something is in the wind! Now you may ask: Why no discussion of the GOP? Easily explained: "This is a Democratic Family and any son who might support the fine Republicans, who are competing to replace "the evil one", would be drummed out of the family and disinherited immediately. While we believe in "free speech, free assembly, free choice of candidates" in this household the party of my beloved FDR (genuflect) reigns supreme. So says the Bear!

Father,
I remain firmly in the Edwards camp. I'm not falling for all the hype and media coverage. I thought it was a dirty trick when the Obama camp tried to lure me away by bringing out my first love (in 6th grade), Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, but no! I won't be swayed...not even by that luscious Irish vixen!
I'm aligned with Edward's stance on the withdrawal of our troops from Iraq, his foreign policy, his plan to bolster renewable energy (ethanol!), and health care reform.
He's a huge proponett of early childhood education....a proven deterrant of crime.
While he is my front-runner, I do share the opinion that the dems have a stellar group of candidates this election and any one of them is better than what the GOP is offering....just as long as Hillary doesn't start weeping again.
From deep in the Edwards Camp,
this is Democratic correspondent,
Gregory Christian Sr.
(psst....Caroline....call me!)
