Despite Primary Vote, Carney Stays on the Fence

At this point, I suspect some super-delegates, like freshmen Congressmen in tough districts, for instance, are worried about publicly declaring support for anyone. Rep. Chris Carney’s district went for Clinton but he’s got a tough re-election fight ahead of him; if Obama wins the nomination he’s going to need the help!

Congressman Chris Carney said he would cast his vote at the Democratic national convention according to the will of the district. The 10th went overwhelmingly for Hillary but Carney still hasn’t committed. The NRCC is saying that Carney is a closet Obama supporter. But the convention isn’t until August so he has some time to make up his mind or maybe not because DNC Chairman Howard Dean wants this thing decided before then and I agree with him.
