In the wake of continuing rumors of his Democratic colleagues
jumping off a sinking ship,
Dick Gephardt
presidential staffers were leaking word on Wednesday morning that
their boss in fact
has
received the endorsement of House
Democratic leader
Nancy Pelosi
, her second in
charge Rep.
Steny Hoyer
, and Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee chairman
Bob
Matsui
.

“In fact, we’re going to have a long list of endorsements in the coming weeks,” says a Gephardt staffer.
No word yet on when a complete list of names will be released. But the Gephardt staffer indicated that a full list would be made available in coming days and a formal endorsement ceremony with Gephardt’s House colleagues would be held.
Interestingly, no special press conference will be held with Pelosi or House Democratic leadership, raising the question just how committed Pelosi is to Gephardt. “I don’t know,” said a House Democratic Leadership staffer. “It’s not clear to any of us that she’s overly enthusiastic about this. But he was very generous with his time and support as leader, and she is grateful to him.”
