Lately there’s been some speculation that Tom Carper won’t run for re-election to the U.S. Senate. Yesterday the News Journal published an article about a Carper fundraiser:
The Delaware Democrat will hold his annual birthday fundraiser today, one of three events this month for his 2012 re-election campaign. Lobbyists will host a luncheon for him the same day.
“We don’t know who’s going to run against me,” Carper said. “We don’t know if it will be somebody who’s run before, who’s well-known, able to raise a lot of money, or somebody who’s not. But I do know this: We’ll be ready for whoever decides to run.”
Sounds like he’s hinting that he may be running against Christine O’Donnell. Chances are that he’s right, but perhaps Christine is having too much fun making money off of Christine, Inc. to run.
