It's not going to happen. I don't have your stamina and I sure don't have what it would take to mount a state-wide campaign. Few people do. I've watched others tilting at windmills and I have learned from their experiences. Ya don't just wake up one morning and think "I'd like to be a US Senator" and then commence to campaign. The office is high and the hurdles to get there are equally high. Still, I treasure your support. Thanks for the kind words Frieda. It’s not going to happen.

In the clip Carper claims that he pays more attention to the little people who call his office than he does to the guys who write the big checks.

I know, I know…hilarious.

He also seems to believe that a bill that contains a public option won't pass. I believe that Senator Carper believes these things. But he also says that the people of Delaware can convince him otherwise. CALL TODAY! Get your friends and neighbors to CALL TODAY! Senator Carper's Wilmington office is: 302-573-6291 Tell Senator Carper that Healthcare Reform without a Public Option is no reform at all! He's a big fan of the FREE MARKET. We want a truly FREE MARKET that gives us a Public Option. The current healthcare market is NOT free. It has a built-in conflict of interest for the drug companies, insurance companies, and yes,even the caregivers. Without a Public Option the American people will continue to be at the mercy of this broken system. Tune to MSNBC tonight to hear Howard Dean as substitute host for Keith Olbermann at 8:00PM. Dr Dean will tell it like it is. CALL SENATOR CARPER: 302-573-6291 He states that he would be willing to have a public option as a fall-back measure.
