Kerry a boon or bane for Obama?

obamakerry.jpgSen. John Kerry endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president at a South Carolina rally today.

That will carry some weight with Democratic voters — Kerry was, after all, their 2004 presidential nominee and narrowly lost to President Bush.

But others wonder whether Obama really gains anything by associating himself with Kerry’s losing reputation.

I think it can’t hurt Obama, who needs some support from party leaders at this stage to counter Clinton campaign charges that his candidacy is a “fairy tale.”

What do you think?
