Yet Another Endorsement

Courtesy of a great new blog, The Field.
Memo to Governor Schwarzenegger: While you were out campaigning for John McCain, your missus - you know, that award winning television journalist? - snuck out to be with Oprah, Michelle, cousin Caroline and a few thousand close personal girlfriends… where she endorsed Barack Obama.

It was live from Los Angeles on C-Span. The place went nuts. California resident Kos notes: “this is now top-of-the-fold news in every California newspaper tomorrow, it will lead every newscast. And it should push into Tuesday as the governor is forced to answer questions about it.”

Stevie Wonder performed, too. Shriver told the assembled:

“I thought if Barack Obama would be a state, he’d be California,” Shriver shouted out as the crowd greeted here appearance with thunderous applause. “Diverse, open, smart, independent, bucks tradition, inspiring, dreamer, leader.”
