Another Dem politician who hasn't jumped on the Obama bandwagon is congressman Travis Childers from Mississippi. Politico:The presidential race may be topic A, B and C in Washington these days, but some people are just too busy to think about it — particularly, it seems, centrist Democrats from conservative districts, who aren’t exactly eager to align themselves with Sen. Barack Obama.Once Childers gets settled in to DC, I imagine Nancy Pelosi will make it clear he needs to get on board with the program, so Childers will most likely make his endorsement of the Dem nominee. But he comes from a conservative district; maybe he'll stand with the folks back home over the folks in DC.
Rep. Travis Childers, elected just weeks ago in a Mississippi special election, hasn’t endorsed anyone in the presidential race yet. “We have had our head down at work, trying to get our feet on the ground up here,” said Childers’ chief of staff, Brad Morris. “The presidential politics just has not been on our mind.”
