Carney Making Headway in PA-10

Chris Carney was endorsed by General Wesley Clark yesterday.

General Clark said, “Today American families face many difficult challenges at home and abroad. There has never been a time when foreign affairs were as closely linked to the daily lives of Pennsylvanians as they are now. We are fighting the causes of terrorism that threaten our homes and we must prepare for a changing global economy that demands America train our people to compete for the highest paying jobs. That is exactly why we need Chris Carney in Congress to fight for us in Washington, DC and I am pleased to endorse him today."
Hopefully General Clark's endorsement will bring other high profile figures that are respected across the aisle to the 10th district. The key for Carney, in my mind, will be to continue to appeal to people, not just Democrats, in the conservative district. Chris has the resume to be a success in Congress and has clearly dedicated himself to public service, both of which will hopefully bring him to victory against Sherwood.
