Obama releases 'first wave' of 2018 endorsements, avoids major races
By John Bowden - 08/01/18 01:03 PM EDT

Former President Obama announced a slew of campaign endorsements on Wednesday, endorsing dozens of Democrats nationwide while keeping his distance from several high-profile battles.

The former president endorsed a list of 81 candidates running at nearly every level of government, including notable endorsements for Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.), Richard Cordray (D-Ohio), and Stacey Abrams (D-Ga.), who are all running for governor in their respective states.

The list only includes one endorsement for a Democratic Senate nominee, Rep. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), who is running to replace Sen. Dean Heller (R). No incumbents were included on the list, which and Obama spokesman said was mainly meant to boost challengers and newer candidates.

Oh good!  Now we know who not to vote for officially!

Screw B. Huessien.
Democrats are mostly interested in impeaching the president, abolishing ICE, embracing socialism and undoing the Trump economy. Is that a winning strategery?  The Pubs need to drive this home.

What happened to Presidents going away after their terms end?  Don't want to rile up the Bush hate around here, but both Bushes were totally out of politics after their terms ended.

...avoids major races...

Doesn't speak well for the 'blue wave.'
