What'd you expect Dark Knight?
The question is:
Does Douglas endorse Oxendine for Governor?
The Republican Gubernatorial candidates are going to endorse someone who they think can bring them more votes in 2010. If Douglas were the challenger & Crotts were the favored incumbent, do you think Oxendine would've still endorsed Douglas? I'll answer that for you Dark Knight: No.
So basically, it's not a big deal. Really, how many more votes will Douglas gain with an Oxendine endorsement? Probably zero. This endorsement is Oxendine looking for help in 2010.
