On the heels of her "tie-breaker" win in Indiana and decisive victory in Pennsylvania , Congressman Chris Carney today announced his endorsement of Hillary Clinton for President. Carney represents Pennsylvania ’s 10th Congressional District.
"I have watched this primary process very closely--and as I said I would do, I have weighed the temperament and leadership displayed by Senators Clinton and Obama during the course of this campaign. We are extremely fortunate to have two very strong candidates vying to lead our nation. Pennsylvania 's 10th District overwhelmingly chose Senator Clinton in the Pennsylvania primary and I will respect their decision. On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to meet with Senator Clinton, and let her know Thursday that I am supporting her," said Congressman Carney.
Congressman Chris Carney was elected to represent Pennsylvania ’s 10th Congressional District in 2006. Before joining Congress, Carney served at the Pentagon as an intelligence analyst and senior advisor on intelligence and counterterrorism issues. He coordinated counterterrorism activities in the Middle East and later worked on the integration of national-level intelligence products in the effort to destroy international terrorist networks. A Lieutenant Commander in the United States Navy Reserve, Carney has served multiple tours overseas.
"I am honored to have the support of Congressman Chris Carney," said Hillary Clinton. "Chris has run and won in a competitive district in a key battleground state. He understands what it takes to bring people together. I look forward to relying upon his advice and expertise on national security and foreign affairs as we work together to restore America’s leadership in the world."

Hillary For President
“Level”
TV :30
Announcer: She's fighting for America's middle class.
Hillary Clinton: It's time to level the playing field against the special interests.
Announcer: She'll end $55 billion dollars in giveaways to corporate special interests and invest it in middle class tax cuts and creating new jobs. She’ll get tough on unfair trade deals and end tax breaks to companies that ship jobs overseas.
Hillary Clinton: Standing up for people who weren't getting a fair shake, that's been the purpose of my life. And it will be the purpose of my presidency.
Hillary Clinton: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.
What? It's over, proof:

I'm told reliably that the American Leadership Project -- the big third-party group funded by Hillary-backing unions and major donors -- will not be funding any ads on her behalf in West Virginia.
The West Virginia contest this coming Tuesday will obviously be an easy win for Hillary. Still, keep in mind that she needs to run up her margin of victory as high as possible, so any third-party spending on her behalf would be helpful.
So it's not hard to divine the significance of the fact that ALP -- one of the biggest-spending outside groups in her corner -- isn't putting any cash into the state.

Many independents and members of the Democratic Party were distressed to see the negative tone taken by the Clinton campaign. It was hard to watch a Democratic candidate use such rovian tactics against a fellow party member.
However some of Clintons "supporters" managed to do what the Clinton campaign could not, assure us a true candidate for change in the general.
So, to Hillary is 44, Taylor Marsh, MyDD and some of its minions I say "thank you".
Thank you for turning off numerous Super-Delegates with your threats to vote McCain. Thank you for revealing the depth of your disdain for our electoral process by feeding the likes of Hannity and Fox News.
Thank you for revealing your racial bias by referring to commentators as "brillo head", Obama as "Osama" and for attempting to marginalize the votes of hardworking African American citizens.
Thank you for creating a new math, sometimes a new math every few days.
I don't include good and reasonable Clinton supporters such as Trix and others in this thank you. But for Jerome Armstrong and others who insisted on making statements such as "He is unelectable", thank you. You managed to create an atmosphere of hate so great that many good Clinton supporters, Super Delegates and voters could take no more.
Now watch "Hope" win the nomination, win the general, and bring this nation together, without absorbing or condoning such destructive behavior.
As I watch the Supers roll in for Obama I wish I could buy you all a round of Kool-Aid.
