Big-Name Democrats Endorsing Obama

All of the attention today will go to John Kerry's endorsement of Barack Obama, but I found this quote from the NY Times article on the endorsement to be more interesting:

“Of all the candidates running, the easiest to rally around is Barack Obama,” [former Senate majority leader] Daschle said in an interview. “Because of his newness on the scene, he has not created the political opposition and enemies that come with extensive service in politics. He is a clean slate.”
