WILL PERRIN RUN AGAIN?
As new Republican candidates crawl out of the woodwork every
day, the Democrats are solidly behind Hilary. Sure, some people want Elizabeth
Warren, but Elizabeth
says, no. Joe Biden says he is considering a run, but no one is saying, “Run,
Joe, run!”
The scarcity of the Democratic field makes political
insiders think about Carl Perrin. Although he sat out the 2012 election, he was
a strong candidate in 2008. “We just didn’t have the campaign financing,”
Perrin said. “While other candidates were collecting big bucks from
millionaires, my campaign was financed mostly from people in Maine cashing in returnable cans and
bottles. Even so, we lost in Maine.”
We asked the former English professor if he is considering
another run for the White House. “I haven’t formed an exploratory committee or
anything like that, but I have been talking to a few folks.”
