For ever story like this, people should send in another $5.....
Why are these clowns so afraid to report on Coons?
Its reminiscent of the way the media treats Barky.
I see the DNC is dragging hundred dollar bills through trailer parks and gay bars again.
Tokyo Rove must have emailed this writer.
Wow, next it will be reported that someone’s ex-spouse has something nasty to say about them.
Well, if she really is as irresponsible and crazy as these former staffers make her sound, she better have a great handler.
Here comes the hit pieces from the disenfranchised RINOs.
with “help” like that who needs hurdles?
sheesh, someone get the lady a frickin bookkeeper, and lose the idiot
Well, sounds like some bad judgement to me(if any of this is true). But then, how much bad judgement have Messrs. Biden and Castle exhibited?
Former staffers and theie stories? Speaking as a former aide to a number of candidates at every level, many staff I’ve known couldn’t get a gig anywhere else.
We shall see what happens.
Yep.
Seems eerily familiar to what happened to Sarah Palin, eh?
Consider the source.
You know, if I worked on a campaign, and we lost big, and two years later the candidate won or made a big splash, I wouldn’t trash her. Even if I thought she was personally objectionable, I would not trash her for the general.
The reason is simple: who wants to hire someone who will turn on you when the campaign is over? Rove might think he’s a big enough name that he has the luxury of doing it, though it certainly doesn’t help the brand name. Maybe these peons she hired in 2008 have moved on to be realtors and cashiers at the mall, and don’t care. Professionals do not dish dirt on their former employers.
O'Donnell is running against another self-professed "Marxist" for heaven's sake. There's nothing nuttier, dishonest or more destructive than Marxists.
How in the world did Christine win without her former staffers?
Very interesting!
I thought the media was biased when it was McCain and Obama. This is getting a bit ridiculous.
The suntan lotion strategy wasn’t the only thing that captured O’Donnell’s attention that summer. Several former aides said that as the Republican National Convention approached, O’Donnell became convinced she could land the coveted role as keynote speaker — the speech was ultimately delivered by former New York City mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani — and booked an expensive trip to St. Paul on that premise.”
Oh yeah, she travels to the Republican Convention which is described as an “expensive trip” (what’s she supposed to do walk???) and it’s because we’re supposed to believe she thinks she’s going to deliver the keynote address.
The article is dripping nastiness. This is the exact same type cr@p they tried with Palin. Politico is a freaking joke.
BTW, Christine’s at 1.5mill. I wonder if Politico still thinks she should be hitch hiking.
Hey, look, the LAMESTREAM MEDIA is attacking another conservative. How original.
Funny how the LAMESTREAM MEDIA can never find anyone who worked with Obama and thinks he is an asshole.
You know what... this cracks me up. Here’s why.
I helped out a candidate for the House before the Primaries. There were a lot of conversations involved in that process. I can say with some certainty that I was trusted by this candidate and occasionally things got said that if made public would have been easily possible to use against him.
All he was doing really was venting, and doing everything he could to come up with ideas which would help him get his message out. I would NEVER repeat anything he said under these circumstances. Why? Because of the issue of TRUST.
Candidates who DO NOT have the support of the “establishment” do not get the benefit of SOLID political advise and or assistance with message or anything else. Did I give good advise, sure I did. Was it always right(?), most likely not. For certain, they do not get the benefit of money, or numerous campaign advisers they can sincerely trust. WHY? Because those advisers have their OWN agendas.
Now all this crap coming from aides, that’s nothing short of treachery. Its disloyal, dishonest, its reprehensible. Candidates - particularly ones with out a lot of money or REAL PROFESSIONALS with ETHICS on their staff are vulnerable. What this Aid does not mention is ... who came up with what idea? Where did that conversation start from? Was it the aid themselves, or some other aid?
This sort of backstabbing SHOULD reflect utterly poorly on the staffers making the accusations. They should be utterly un-hire-able with in politics, because they cannot be TRUSTED.
This should reflect more on the STAFFERS than on Christine. Their very stories and accusations call into question THEIR honesty, ethics, and professionalism in an exceptionally unflattering manner.
