Kerry Endorses Obama: Oh? That's Nice

Kerry also played the role of the establishment candidate in 2004. He upset the insurgent candidate, Howard Dean, en route to winning the Democratic nomination. The Kerry endorsement may well signal to other Democratic elites that they can abandon the Clintons.

Of course, even stellar endorsements aren't always enough to clinch a win. Former Vice President Al Gore waited until a few weeks before the Iowa caucus in 2004 to endorse Dean. And Dean, you may recall, imploded shortly thereafter.
