Can anyone save Jon Carry's political career?

I don't know of a Jon Carry. However, any aspirations John Kerry had in becoming our next president was blown away by his idiotic remarks about our troops. The liberals in Massachusetts may keep re-electing him ( after all, they keep re-electing a murderer ), but he is toast as far as any other political office.

Trust me.  He has only used that pen once in his presidency so far, but I know he's stocking up on ink as we speak.  He will not bring our troops home early as it would cause a middle east disaster.  The lib dems have the war power act behind them (its never in history been used though), and that'd give him 30 days to continue fighting and then 60 to withdraw.  However, no Dem in the world that wants to keep their job would enact that, FAR too controversial

I don't know if there would be countless questions on answers. I think the fact that another politician has swindled the public is just par for the course, be they Democrat or Republican. They all have their hands in the till in one way or other. Since I live in Ohio I have been following this story for months. The guy deserves to spend 18 years in prison. Frankly, I thought 18 years was too short a sentence.

Drive people to the polls as long as Republicans are not jamming the phone lines!\n\nWhite House pressed on N.H. tactic\nDemocrats seek records, testimony on phone jamming\nBy Rick Klein, Globe Staff  |  April 13, 2006\n\nWASHINGTON -- New Hampshire Democrats are seeking to depose senior White House officials to learn what they knew about a 2002 episode in which a national Republican operative helped organize the jamming of Democrats' phone lines on Election Day, a scheme for which two GOP officials have already been convicted.\n\nSign up for: Globe Headlines e-mail | Breaking News Alerts This week, as a Manchester judge considers a request to compel testimony and records from the White House and the Republican National Committee in a civil suit brought by the Democrats, the nearly four-year-old local political scandal spilled onto the national scene, with the chairmen of the parties trading barbs and accusations.\n\nHoward Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, sent a letter on Tuesday to his RNC counterpart, Ken Mehlman, citing the fact that the man convicted of organizing the phone-jamming called the White House political office repeatedly in the days before the election. Dean demanded that Mehlman say whether anyone at the White House or the RNC knew about the plot.\n\nMehlman, who in 2002 headed the White House political office, responded by saying he and his staff knew nothing of the plans. But Democrats fired back yesterday, accusing Mehlman of refusing to reveal the extent of the contact between the White House or RNC and the New Hampshire operatives.\n\n''They're stonewalling because they can't face the truth," said Damien LaVera, a DNC spokesman. ''The law was broken here. We need to know where this goes -- who was involved in this, who authorized it."\n\nAnd watch those paperless voting machines!\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hImlHO4csA\n\n\nNever, Never Vote for a Cheating, liar Republican!\n\nWhere is Osama bin Laden????????????????

The only way he can become a bigger doofus is to gain some weight.  I swear, that man just never goes away!  And the sad part is that those poor saps in Massachusetts, keep voting the pervert back into office!!

Yes , he will serve the rest of his term. He has let down the Conservative voters who put him in office.  I am very nervous about the next election though I can not see a clear candidate to represent all of America. This nation is so split at this point. I am afraid there is no middle ground anymore. I usually vote republican but with the way things are going I'm not sure what to vote anymore. I like Evan Bhye as a Democratic nominee and would vote for him but i cant see a Conservative democrat getting the nomination.

The greatest difficulty with this question is the value.  My greatest issue is finding integrity in government.  Promises prior to an election quickly become a back burner after the election.  Plus when one party has previously done something good and the new incoming party will dismantle it only because it wasn't their policy.  With this in mind it usually cost the tax payer millions in order to cancel a project with no tangible out come.  Enforcing integrity of government would be number one for me.

He can't be elected to another term. There's no way to covertly assume that power, and the act of assuming the authority to run again would turn off enough voters that he'd lose the election.

The only problem with it is that Condi doesn't have the political backing in the party to pull it off.  Why put up a candidate that doesn't have a chance?  Great premise though.  Let me know when the book comes out.

I suspect he will run for the nomination (winning is another thing.)  He has been out there making a name for himself outside of politics, writing and publicizng books for a general audience, talking on the Today show about weight loss, and he is chairman of the National education Association and the National Governor's Conference, both of which position him to forge alliences and demonstrate national leadership.  The mian political reason to do any of this is to set the ground for a Presidential run -- they don't help him in his home state as much as other things he could do which don't take him away.  He cannot run again for governor because of term limits.  And he is from a town called Hope, which gives hope to Presidential candidates (like Bill Clinton.)\n\nI have no doubt he is seriously considering running, and suspect he will actually try.\n\nPS -- it is Huckabee.

No chance. George has no popularity to call on.  And people would expect his brother to be about the same.\n\nHe said after his razor thin victory in his last campaign, "I've made some 'political capital'. Now I'm going to 'spend it'"\n\nWell, it's all spent.  The bank is busted, George. You're overdrawn.

There should be something in the local newspapers . You should find something on politicans.I don't know if you would find this on the web.

Than can't, at least not legally. That is why Tom DeLay is facing money laundering charges and had to step down as Speaker of The House.

if political career ends just with one scam........ no one will be in politics even a year.  scams are just tides.

One would safely assume that since you are aware of the situation, that this person is having some success in communicating with the outside world?  With that in mind, I would do my best to get in touch with the sympathetci media outlets (think national/regional as opposed to local) the ACLU, Amnesty International, The John Howard Association (this would be my first pick personally), the justice project at Northwestern University (IL), also with any other university/law school or organization that does pro bono type work, and many times have contacts at media outlets that may be able to exert some pressure on "the powers at be" through those channels.  Not to be a pain in the rear, but IMHO it is very impractical and unwise to represent yourself, this situation being a perfect example of the pitfalls...in an ideal world, he should/could contact the KS Attorney General's Office, the Governor's Office, or perhaps even the Dept. Of Justice in DC, however in this day and age most complaints against "the establishment" or "the system" fall on deaf ears amongst other members of the machine, particularly as we seem to be removing the concepts of real justice and  humanity from our increasingly greedy and corrupt society and government bodies at a breakneck pace...bottom line tell the inmate to KEEP HIS NOSE CLEAN (as they are undoubtedly gunning for him) keep trying and good luck as the odds are highly stacked against him...
