Carper on Hardball
This is from a show on 11/25 and Chuck Todd interviews him:

A couple of things:
1. Pour Beau Biden — Carper also announces Beau running for the Senate and says he’ll vote for him. Have you ever seen serial announcements for candidate who insists he is thinking?
2. Carper seems to be speaking out of all sides of his mouth on the Public Option, but we should know that the Public Option in the Senate bill is significantly weaker than the House Bill already, and opt-ins, opt-outs, triggers and whathaveyou are not in the service of making this better.
3. It is way worse to hear Carper actually say on TV that there are real concerns about deficit impacts for a bill that is paid for. I hope his staff and the staff of the Finance Committee are conspiring for the mother of all paybacks.
