Russ Carnahan on the Jaco Report

Russ Carnahan was interviewed recently on the Jaco Report. I really liked the interview, particularly because Carnahan was honest about questions like "was this essentially blackmail?" rather than trying to spin it. I also appreciate the fact that he's taking steps to change the conversation about Afghanistan at a time when other politicians don't want to look at it with clear eyes. After the last elections, it would have been easy for Representative Carnahan to try to turn into a "blue dog" and spout right-wing rhetoric. However, he clearly understands that his future in politics depends on being true to his principles, and I commend him for that.

Judge for yourself:

  1. Great questions by Journalist Jaco and great, honest answers by Congressman Carnahan. I thought his tone of voice in answering the Convention question was SUPER positive...like a little secret he can hardly wait to share!
