Sharpton endorses Kerry, but doesn't withdraw
Rev. Al Sharpton endorsed Sen. Kerry today, but decided not to formally withdraw from the race, so he can continue to “collect delegates.”
Sharpton Gives Support to Kerry:
The seemingly contradictory remarks came after Mr. Sharpton settled for a 40-minute meeting in Washington with Mr. Kerry, who promised to push Mr. Sharpton’s “urban agenda.”Posted by Anthony at March 15, 2004 11:18 PM
Sharpton is staying in the race just so he can continue to live it up on the tax payers dole: he recieved matching funds and will not quit until the money runs dry.

A sharpton endorsement is perfect for the slanderous name calling campaign being run by Kerry. Sharpton still refuses to apologize for inciting racial hatred in the Tawana Brawley matter. Brawley’s unproven allegations that she, a black teen, was raped by white police officers resulted in a civil slander judgment against Sharpton.
What an endorsement!
