8:55 p.m. -- Carney endorses Clinton for president
U.S. Rep. Chris Carney announced Thursday that he's backing Hillary Clinton in the presidential primary
Carney reported meeting with Clinton Wednesday, "and let her know Thursday that I am supporting her."

"I have watched this primary process very closely, and as I said I would do, I have weighed the temperament and leadership displayed by Sens. Clinton and Obama during the course of this campaign," Carney said in a statement. "We are extremely fortunate to have two very strong candidates vying to lead our nation. Pennsylvania's 10th (Congressional) District (voters) overwhelmingly chose Sen. Clinton in the Pennsylvania primary and I will respect their decision."
Rebecca Gale, his press secretary, said he was traveling with a congressional delegation to the U.S-Mexico border to evaluate border security and unavailable for comment.
A full story will be available in Friday's print edition of The Daily Review.

4. He said before the Pennsylvania primary he would follow the will of the people.
She took the 10th CD overwhelmingly.

Maybe more supers should follow that principle.

I think I heard that here.

7. That would be nice actually, because if they did, Obama will have more SDs by now :) and the race
will be over.

14. Add all the Respresentaives by Congressional District.
The proportional system give more pledged delegates by district but the sole Representative should follow the will of the people in the District.

6. Chris Carney, the guy I sent money to only to find out that
he was one of Douglas Feith's staffers and for whom Richard Perle campaigned, personally?

That Chris Carney?

11. Well he's using the PA vote as cover to endorse her
and I'm sure that was discussed when he met with her. It's just a matter of time before Obama passes her in terms of the number of SD. It's going to happen.

16. yes I know alot about Carney
worked hard for him to get elected and he has pretty much disappointed me since - his arguments on Iraq and
Chris is the only kind of Democrat that has a chance to win in this most conservative district - I know that
not at all surprised he endorsed Clinton but as usual this is the wrong move in the long run

read this
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/05/02/hoyer/

What backroom conniving are Steny Hoyer and the Chris Carney Blue Dogs up to on FISA?


"There's no point in having Chris Carneys in Congress if -- as he and his small band of like-minded comrades are doing now -- they're going to force the House Democrats to join with the most radical elements of the GOP in dismantling core constitutional protections and further entrenching our two-tiered system of justice where the most politically well-connected actors are literally immune from the rule of law.

At the very least, Carney's constituents ought to be -- and will be -- aware of his abdication of duties, his serving as a Bush/Cheney rubber stamp, and his support for patently un-American measures such as warrantless spying and telecom amnesty. The voters in his district can then decide in an informed way whether Carney should be returned to Congress to do more of that. And the House Democratic leadership and their caucus members should know that there will be similar campaigns whenever they contemplate abdicating their responsibilities this way. "

yeah - that CHris Carney

17. I'm in his district too.
Last time he was in Milford he was proud that his voting record was right down the middle. I don't think that's anything to boast about but he did say he would vote with his district if it was overwhelming.

It was and he did.

Are you voting for him in November or Hackett the Republican?
