I just thought about something today. For the folks that claim that Obama supporters are getting “duped” or are “falling for” the rhetoric of Obama over substance, as if we’re not policy focused enough, as of today, most of the bloggers I was reading before the primary nonsense began have endorsed or said they were voting for Obama.

TalkLeft is the only blog in my regular reading list that has endorsed Clinton, I think. Josh Marshall is a guess, but it seems somewhat obvious he’s leaning Obama (not sure how he voted). Today, Atrios and Amanda Marcotte both wrote about voting for Obama. Kevin Drum at Washington Monthly voted Obama. John Cole has been, um, vocal about his Obama support. I’m not actually sure where Ezra Klein came out, but that forms the core of my “must reads” every day.

These are smart policy people, overly wonkish if anything. And they’ve chosen to vote for Obama. I’m not saying that there’s anything wrong with people that vote for Clinton, but to say that Obama supporters don’t care about policy or are voting blindly for charisma or lofty promises are spinning for their candidate.
