A Really Good Way to End the Kelly Palin Meme

by: Dean Barker

Fri Jul 10, 2009 at 10:33:47 AM EDT
Someone in the press should find out why Ayotte mentioned the "wild changes" of Gregg being tapped for Commerce as a reason to break her pledge to Lynch not to serve her term, when that happened before she was re-appointed.

This is a simple question about a demonstrably untrue time sequence.  

Sarah Palin gets away with those kind of statements all the time, and it defines how she is viewed by voters.  If AG Ayotte wishes not to be compared to her, she should reach out to the press to explain this discrepancy.

Republicans tend to be people who have a rather tenuous (0.00 / 0)
hold on the relationship between cause and effect.  Perhaps it's a sequencing problem that keeps them going back and forth.  Either that, or everything just happens in the present.  Dubya seemed to have this problem in spades.  But it's also a media problem.  Often times a consequence is described as a cause.
Pindell Puts Hodes Down (0.00 / 0)
Paul Hodes: As impressive as his fund-raising quarter was last week, Democrats are worried that with Ayotte in this race he is in trouble.

And we helped.

Your link just goes to a front page. Maybe after registering it's possible to understand what you are talking about.

I link to the the public page, but your right, you must register. It is still a free trial.

Pindell marks 3 Up & 3 Down. Like Pindell said, Paul had an impressive quarter. Then we glombed on to Ayotte and it quickly went down hill.

Beg pardon? (0.00 / 0)
I'd say the strategy and execution this far has been exemplary and far more likely to help than hurt Hodes.

Pindell's Invention? (4.00 / 1)
Care to speculate how Paul ended up on the short end of the stick?

I have my own ideas.

wow (0.00 / 0)
we sure have a lot of power.

Kelly Ayotte (4.00 / 4)
is the first person mentioned as a possible candidate against Hodes who doesn't have a big L pasted onto her forehead.

That is all the meaning behind it, that we actually have to put some effort into showing that Paul is obviously the best choice for the seat, instead of just jogging to the finish line.

Academic conversations about the appropriateness of calling someone "presumpive nominee" v. "candidate" during the long primary process are just that.
