In March 2007 John asked Hank whether Brotherhood 2.0 should endorse a presidential candidate in the primary. Hank said it was too early, and later that year said Brotherhood 2.0 could not endorse anyone because the brothers might not vote for the same person, pointing to Barack Obama's position on coal.
