Unpersuasive Endorsements
The Courant’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton was as predictable as it was unpersuasive [editorial, Jan. 27, “Sen. Clinton For Democrats”]. Sunday’s editorial begins by disingenuously stating only two Democratic candidates have presidential timber: Clinton and Barack Obama. The intentional omission of John Edwards speaks enormously to The Courant’s prejudice.
Edwards’ presidential timber was evident in ‘04 when running against John Kerry and eventually becoming Kerry’s running mate. What’s changed since then is that Edwards has recognized the danger unregulated corporations pose and has advocated for change.
What The Courant calls “neo-populist attacks on corporate America” are the result of Edwards having spent the past four years outside the Beltway among average Americans. He has witnessed the consequences of unregulated corporate conduct and its ill effects on the middle class. Jobs outsourcing, corporate tax avoidance, unrestricted profiteering, and vanishing health care and retirement benefits have all worked to the detriment of the American worker. Edwards has championed their cause, and The Courant, being part of a corporation, disparages him for doing so.
Hillary has the most corporate money of all candidates and is safely in the pocket of corporate America. Everyone can rest assured that hers will be a business-friendly - that is to say, anti-consumer - administration.

And in court documents filed by Kelley’s sister Natalie Khawam, she name-drops both Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island — who both have ties to a Providence, RI, lawyer/Democratic fundraiser who loaned a whopping $300,000 to Khawam.
Khawam claimed in a July 12 letter to her estranged husband that she took their now 4-year-old son “on vacation last year to Martha Vineyard,” where their son and “I had a great time at the DSCC [Democratic Senate Campaign Committee] event.”
“Sen. John Kerry asked if [her son] would be coming again this year,” Khawam wrote. “[Their son] was a superstar at the DSCC last year.”
A spokeswoman for Kerry – who the Washington Post reports is being considered as President Obama’s next secretary of defense — in an email comment wrote, “Senator Kerry’s friend Jerry Harrington introduced him to his girlfriend (Natalie) at a DSCC event.”
Also filed in that court case by Khawam is a letter, on United States Senate stationary, from Whitehouse, who like Kerry is a Democrat.
That letter was written to Harrington, who has been a fundraiser for Kerry and other Democrats out of Rhode Island. Harrington, according to Khawam’s federal bankruptcy filing earlier this year in Florida, gave her a personal loan of $300,000.
