Old white guys no longer in Congress endorse Clinton

First, it was former Ohio Sen. John Glenn, so faded from memory that Talking Points Memo labeled him as first American to orbit the moon, not the earth.

Now, down here in Texas, Rep. Charles Stenholm, redistricted out of his seat by Tom DeLay’s flunkies Tom Craddock et al in the Texas Lege, is endorsing Clinton.

If Obama counters with, say Ted Strickland or Sherrod Brown in Ohio, and more minority Congressional endorsements here, his “change” meme will get yet another shot in the arm.

Hell, kids under 30, even if they’re politically active, probably don’t even know who John Glenn is, let alone confusing the Earth and Moon.
