BREAKING: Carville pays into Obama kitty
Throughout the Democratic Primary, political consultant (and “The War Room” and “K Street” star) James “Ragin’ Cajun” Carville was one of the lead TV bulldogs barking for Hillary Clinton. Most memorable to us here in New Mexico was when Carville attacked Gov. Richardson’s endorsement of Barack Obama, telling the New York Times, “Mr. Richardson’s endorsement came right around the anniversary of the day when Judas sold out for 30 pieces of silver, so I think the timing is appropriate, if ironic.”
Even as it became clear that Obama had pretty much sealed the nomination, Carville continued to support Clinton, setting little hypothetical goal posts (for example Clinton losing both Ohio and Texas) that would determine an end to the race , at which point he’d endorse the check he’d already made out to Obama.
Today Swing State of Mind can report that Carville has indeed signed that check and put in the mail. Carville’s office tells SSOM via email today:
Mr. Carville has contributed to Obama for America. Thank you.
The news comes after ABC’s Political Radar blog reported that Richardson has tentatively agreed to help raise money to repay Clinton’s campaign debt.
[UPDATED] When asked via email if the Governor’s office wanted to comment, Richardson’s spokesman Gilbert Gallegos responded instantly with his Blackberry: “No.”
Think there still might be some hard feelings?
