Obama seems to have picked up another endorsement. This time, from Vermont Democrat Patrick Leahy. Here are the interesting things I could dig up about him: He likes Batman and he's passionate about landmines.
Other than that, he's your typical middle of the road moderate Democrat who managed to be repeatedly bashed in the face by Rove's forces. I suppose it's a significant endorsement because he's a sixth term senior senator and one of the most powerful Democrats in Washington. He was also one of the few who voted against the Iraq war and opposed the Patriot Act in all forms.
Apparently, he's also the first and only Democrat Senator to be elected in the state of Vermont since the Civil War. Which is crazy once you realize that Vermont, historically, has always been a very blue state. It's a slow day in politics.
