Vampires and Hillary Clinton. Boy that makes sense.... 
This is a dirty trick, or at least a bad joke, right?
This is almost surely not a hoax. Ann Rice has always been extremely interested in politics and was a big Bill Clinton supporter, at least during the impeachment/lynching fiasco. How many books has John Kerry sold lately?
I wonder if Barama really wants the endorsement of a loser like Kerry.
This endorsement doesn't really help Hillary on the "rhymes with witch" front, does it?
Well, this should give Hillary somthing to cry about. I await the subsequent flood of Hillary endorsements from Piers Anthony, Danielle Steele, and the estate of V.C. Andrews.
Vampire? She's more like some crazy old bat...
I had heard she had gone kind of right wing and fundie religious. But she's a big honking feminist, so I think it fits for identity politics. Actually, it fits pretty well on all counts.
Makes a lot of sense. Ms Rice is an expert on Bloodsuckers! Could it be the Kiss of Death!. Sorry folks, they were just too easy.
I just watched it on U-Tube. She's bonkers. She is calling for a Clinton-Obama ticket (sounds very patronizing doing so, kind of "Obama, you're very nice, and you can be second if Hillary says so) and at the end says "you go girl" and "don't let the old boys network stop you. It's cringeworthy, and not just because she's a scary looking old lady that writes about necrophilia and castration and so forth. Need a shower.
She gave Hillary the max about a year ago, so I'm not sure how this is news now. Are we going to get all these B list celebs putting out "endorsement" videos now?
I don't think these endorsements matter much either way. The 800 lb gorilla of Democratic endorsements is probably Al Gore. His might make some difference. Perhaps Ted Kennedy as well. But if Obama got a slew of endorsements from male politicians, it could lend itself to a "the patriarchy is gaining up on Hillary" theme.
Some of the comments above are hilarious. That gray mop is indeed witch-like.
Paul Gottlieb's comment is damn funny. Yeah Senator Kerry! How many books have you sold!? Jesus, people. Give me a break.
What is this, revenge of the old women? Come on, ladies, go back to your atticks.
hey marc ambinder, it's anne rice. with an e.
I've noted this before but there seems to be a much greater tendency of Obama supporters to be quite nasty compared to Clinton supporters who generally think theirs is a better choice. From people like myself who worked for Wes Clark and other readers I really don't think the change Obama is asking for from the Dems is to learn to be as nasty as the Republicans. Lets talk issues and not childish name calling if you can find it in yourself to actually learn and discuss substantive issues.
Mel: Maybe you should educate your candidate on that fact instead of lecturing to Obama supporters. She and her surrogates spent the last week throwing every Republican tactic and talking point they could at Obama. And please, don't get me started on their shamless distorting of his record. Pretty pathetic, if you ask me (but of course, you didn't). Oh, and Ned Lamont is endorsing Obama as well.
Hey, Mel I was wondering which of the following prominent Clinton supporters do you find less nasty than similarly prominent Obama supporters? Howard "Obama wants to meet with holocaust deniers" Wolfson? Billy "Drug Dealer" Shaheen? Mark "Cocaine" Penn? Bob "Secular Madrassa" Kerrey? Andrew "Shuck and Jive" Cuomo? Bill "Fairy Tale" Clinton? Yes, yes...those clinton people are nothing if not nice!
Boy, this is going to cause some big-time confusion for the country-club Republican set. Their favorite hardcore sadomasochistic fantasy novel author endorses their most hated enemy.
The witch author endorses a witch or the lady with the flying monkeys. I am a 54-year-old democratic woman and Hillary ain't it. I am also from the south, and I a sick of the Clintons.
I would take the endorsement of Rice over Kerry any day of the week. I love how Obama is fighting the DC establishment and says it needs to be replaced and then takes Kerry's endorsement and others today whose combined experience in DC is 77 years.
Take another hit, Eric. First your candidate knocks Obama for not being "established enough", then when he gets some establishment support you spout off how he's a hypocrite. Heh. The Clinton's have taught you well.
I know I'm a bit deficient in my knowledge of popular, as well as unpopular, culture; but, who the f*** is Ann Rice?
@ Chris Brown Exactly.
All these attacks against older people is offensive. One day you too will be old and how would like people insulting and dismissing you like a piece of garbage. There is always something to be learned from history, and older people have something that the youth won't understand until they are old too...WISDOM. They have also given you all the opportunities that exist before you, such as equal rights and civil liberties (believe me they understand change) - appreciate that and be respectful. So rather than bashing her, we should ponder her points and weigh them out with our own established views and come to our own independent decisions. Together, fresh ideas and wisdom will lead us in the right path. I think that's more akin to her point. Don't bash your opposing candidates too much because in the end one of them has to win, and we are only adding fuel to the fire that will ignite by the Republican party once the primaries are over. We can differentiate without insulting. Thanks.

@reader "hey marc ambinder, it's anne rice. with an e." Well duh. It couldn't be Anne Rys, could it? Anne Ric?
Kucinich asks for recount in N.H. Democratic primary: http://www.wdtn.com/Global/story.asp?S=7608868 *** Kucinich thinks there was an error in the counting of the NH primary votes on the democratic side (specifically relating to the Clinton/Obama match-up) and he's asking for a recount!
Wow, thanks for posting that. I didn't even know egg-static was a word. But let me ask you, has Hillary Clinton elaborated on what kind of changes she'd make? I mean specifically. Let me ask you something else, why didn't Hillary make those changes from 1992 to 2000? Or is change a meaningless buzzword? Was she lying about change then, or is she lying about change now? I'll tell you why, because ... better yet, let me share my own Hillary experience: http://theseedsof9-11.com Ps. Next time leave in the part where she flies up the chimney.
Anne Rice can't write. John Kerry can't deliver a prepared text without sticking his foot in his mouth. I'm not sure which is worse. On the other hand, it is fitting that Mr. I-Voted-For-It-Before-I-Voted-Against-It has endorsed the man who neither votes for it nor votes against it.
hear, hear, Maris - I might be a generation younger than Anne Rice, but I respect seniors - and I too am offended by the disrespect and dismissive attitude of many online commentors and those most often shown in the media who are Obama supporters bashing the baby boomers and seniors. You said: "All these attacks against older people is offensive. One day you too will be old and how would like people insulting and dismissing you like a piece of garbage. There is always something to be learned from history, and older people have something that the youth won't understand until they are old too...WISDOM." Thank you for your wisdom Maris.
Good for the New Orleans vote. I also like her better than Oprah, but that's personal. But hey, I look forward to her stage show...
Who gives a crap what this Sea Hag has to say?
Hillary was never down in NH, the pollsters just thought so for whatever reasons. She has been leading in the polls for at least a year. There's no comeback, just performing as anticipated.
