Carter Will Not Endorse Until The Convention (or: More mush from the wimp)
 ABC News' Mary Bruce Reports: Former President Jimmy Carter confirmed in an exclusive "This Week" interview with [snark] "Oh, noes! What will I do? I'm bereft of Jimmy Carter's wise guidance. I do not know which way to turn." [/snark] Despite previously dropping hints in favor of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., Carter said "I'll let you make your own judgment...about my inclinations. I've told you what I -- as much as I intend to reveal." I think I get what's going on here. If he endorses Obama now, and Obama collapses because of a backlash over Jeremiah Wright and the "poor, stupid Pennsylvania" comments, Carter ends up on the outside looking in. If he endorses Hillary, and she doesn't pull off the come-from-behind win, Carter ends up on the outside looking in. If he spends the time between now and when the winner becomes obvious mouthing platitudes and meeting with Hamas, and only jumps on the bandwagon at the last possible moment, he doesn't make any enemies. In other words, it's in the wimp's self interest to stay mushy. Posted by: Mike 2008-04-14 |
