In a March appearance at Keystone College, Mr. Carney said he would follow the will of Democratic voters in his district….....
Late yesterday, according to the Towanda Daily Review U.S. Congressman Christopher P. Carney will fullfill his promise and cast his super-delagate vote for Senator Hilary Clinton.
“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.

This is a bold move by Carney considering mounting pressure from the national party to bring the race to a hault. Carney shows real guts here standing by his word and standing by his constituents who voted 70%-30% for Clinton. At a time when most politicians are scrambling to get in Obama’s good graces, this shows once again that Carney is one of the few independant and honest leaders in Congress.



Thank you Mr. Carney
Thanks for your integrity and honor.
Indeed! Once in office,
Indeed! Once in office, politicians must understand they are there to do as the people wish. And nothing is more directly related to the wishes of the electorate than the vote of a superdelegate. Well done, Mr. Carney
