Does Herseth plan to endorse John Kerry?

The Hill carries an interesting article headlined "Some Dems to run away from Kerry." Excerpt:

A handful of House Democrats who look vulnerable in November’s election, plan to run away from their party’s presumptive presidential nominee, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), and will not endorse him.

The holdouts are a minority of the 17 “frontliners” selected by the party leadership for member-to-member cash infusions, but their attitude reflects varying levels of comfort with how the New England senator will play in their districts.

Here in South Dakota, Democrat Stephanie Herseth, currently the frontrunner against Republican Larry Diedrich in the campaign for South Dakota's lone House seat, recently had this to say about her party's presidential candidate (according to an excellent report by Bob Mercer):

Now that U.S. Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts is the apparent Democratic nominee, Herseth was asked Thursday if he might be coming to campaign for her before the June 1 election.

She laughed. "I just don't see that there would be any interest from my campaign or the national party," she said.

Perhaps the better question to ask Herseth is whether she plans to endorse John Kerry.

UPDATE: Although Herseth seems hesitant about supporting John Kerry, Senator Tom Daschle has pledged to help raise $10 million for Kerry by March 25, according to a story in the Washington Times headlined "Clinton supports Kerry fundraiser." Excerpt:

According to a statement by the Kerry campaign Tuesday, Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., Rep. John Lewis of Georgia, Democratic strategist James Carville, former Texas Gov. Ann Richards and several former Democratic presidential candidates have signed on to a 10-day push to raise $10 million online to fight against the Republican incumbent.
