The Cassidy campaign needs to IMMEDIATELY put together a campaign ad to show the “where was Bill” statement from Miss Piggy followed by the information on Cassidy’s ON-THE-GROUND Katrina work.

The contrast will be stark.

So where was Mary?

I was thinking Landrieu needs to get out in front of this fast, find a staffer to blame and say it was a mistake, congratulate Cassidy and praise him as a fine opponent and worthy candidate.

But ...

Never happen. I have a recollection of her last campaign and think that one wasn’t very graceful either.

Landrieu:”When the New Orleans VA hospital needed to be rebuilt out of the rubble of Katrina & Rita, where was Bill?”
(Silence)
[Sharp cut to Cassidy in front of K-mart dressed in business casual]
Cassidy:(matter of factly)I was here in Baton Rouge coordinating the emergency construction of a hospital for treating the sick and injured. (Begin upkey music) Within one day we turned an abandoned store into a working hospital and helped thousands who needed immediate help. When people needed help, I helped them. Well right now, Louisiana needs help and that’s why I’m here.

I agree, this is a fantastic opportunity for Cassidy. I hope he makes the best of it early and often.
