First off, I apologize to all of my readers (both of them!) for the light posting for the last week. I am now finally over the Plague & Pestilence which has reigned over my household for the better part of ten days or so. In the interim though I have been following the local political version of Deal Or No Deal starring Andre "The Juggernaut" Carson and Jon "Not Your Parents' Republican" Elrod via teh blogz and what passes for a news media in Indy these days. Pravda circa 1959 was more objective IMHO.
I was glad to see Wilson Allen's favorite Carson Machinist showed up for the Indiana Equality forum for the candidates last week. It was the first chance many folks had to hear the candidates debate directly and the debate went pretty well for both major candidates and the Libertarian Sean Shepard even got a few pointed jabs in that impressed a few bloggers on both sides of the Hoosiersphere.
What I would like to discuss today though is why I am opposed to Andre Carson's candidacy on a more macro view level. I've got my reasons for not liking Carson politically, but it is his professional record that is most troubling to me. The man has never held a job which Grandma Julia didn't prearrange for him in his life. Now that Grandma has passed on to the Congress in the sky and her last wishes were to see "her seed" ascend to her seat (feudalism! YAY!), we see the Carson Machine has swung into full force in backing their candidate of choice.
I just got off a conference call with the DCCC netroots outreach folks discussing the Special Election in IN-07 March 11th. I had an opportunity to ask a couple of questions and received some rather enlightening answers.
When asked if the DCCC would be supporting Andre Carson in the May Primary after the Special Election, the DCCC said that they would indeed be staffing and funding the Carson campaign against the other contenders in the crowded Primary field. The Primary includes candidates such as State Reps. David Orentlicher and Carolene Mays, as well as Dr. Woody Myers and Frances Nelson among other rumored but not yet official candidates.
The fact that the DCCC will be monkeying around in such a contentious primary is a slap in the face to the voters in the Special Election March 11th. Should Carson lose the Special to GOP nominee State Rep. Jon Elrod on March 11th, his campaign essentially is getting a do-over in the May Primary. This is truly an astounding turn of events, as prior to today the DCCC had been non committal about supporting Carson in the May Primary.
