The Coveted Charles Barkley Endorsement
Charles Barkley was probably my favorite basketball player, as much for his honesty and his humor and his good nature off the court as for the will and desire that enabled him to perform beyond the limits of his physical abilities. He's endorsed Barack Obama for President, and the video of it can be seen here. This is a surprising endorsement, coming from a person whose previous expression of political views was that he was a Republican, because he was rich, and he was all for anyone who would cut his taxes. Now whether Sir Charles, the Round Mound of Rebound, can round up votes for Senator Obama is an open question.
...Okay, probably not. But no one ever doubted that Barkley gives good television, and he might be able to give the Senator some new sound bites.
