(I've changed the title to minimize disappoint to people hoping to re-live the glory of Linda's Obama endorsement)
Earlier, there was the much trumpeted Obama endorsement by Rep. Linda Sanchez. The earth shook! Commercials were to be made! Blogs were to be rec'd! Another Biggie Breaks for Obama! It was proof, proof! that Obama was more awesome than ever.
You could just feel everyone push back their recliners and bask in the glow.
Huh-hum:
Lo and behold, several hours later, her older -- and somewhat more conservative -- sister, Orange County-area Rep. Loretta Sanchez, endorsed Hillary Clinton.

That's right. Big sis, the giant killer who took down crazed gooper B-1 Bob Dornan just endorsed Hillary.
You may all rec my diary now.
I'll wait.
I know you all believe in fair play. ;)
From the above linked LAT blog, Top of the Ticket,
Loretta Sanchez's communications director Paula Negrete insisted to us the same-day timing of the two announcements was coincidental. Odd how that worked out, though, isn't it?
The dueling endorsement statements from the sisters epitomize their own different political complexions -- as well as, when you get down to it, the core differences between Clinton's pitch to the party and Obama's.
So even family members can disagree. (Read down in the piece for a light-hearted look at their rather typical sibling behavior).
Two great Latina members of Congress, sisters, have come to a genuine difference on who will be our best nominee.
I wonder if they would TR each other and call each other names? (Okay, they're sisters, so probably yes. But they'd still go out for dinner afterward).
