“Senator Tom Carper To Endorse Barack Obama Watch” – Day 2.5

13 Comments

5/9/08 20:06 UPDATE: I left two messages for Carper’s Legislative Dirtector, Bill Ghent who is a buddy of mine from my San Francisco bath house days (long story) – but I guess he is busy so he had the très joli  Bette Phelan reply via email. Her email stated that Carper “remains an uncommitted superdelegate” which I take to mean “is still hoping for a Clinton miracle.”  Zut alors!

Oh well. Plus 9 (NINE!) supers for Obama today alone. Let the floodgates open.

5/9/08 UPDATE: I placed another call to Bill Ghent this morning and hope to hear from him today.

A Tom Carper endorsement of Obama would be a punch in the gut to fellow DLC’er Hillary Clinton, but I first heard on Tuesday night that Tom Carper would be endorsing Barack Obama sooner rather than later.

And I think he may mean burnt — read this carefully:

The Anti-Obama, Anti-Wright, and Anti-Clinton GOP Model Has Been Tested — And It Failed The Republican brand has been so badly damaged that if Republicans try to run an anti-Obama, anti- Reverend Wright, or (if Senator Clinton wins), anti-Clinton campaign, they are simply going to fail. This model has already been tested with disastrous results. In 2006, there were six incumbent Republican Senators who had plenty of money, the advantage of incumbency, and traditionally successful consultants. But the voters in all six states had adopted a simple position: “Not you.” No matter what the GOP Senators attacked their opponents with, the voters shrugged off the attacks and returned to, “Not you.” The danger for House and Senate Republicans in 2008 is that the voters will say, “Not the Republicans.”

If Abortion is wrong and the Federal Government should make it illegal, please tell me why the federal government then should not provide health care for that child until 18, child support until 18 in the form of direct checks or through federally funded adoption/orphanages?
