A Rising GOP PR Star
POLITICO ^

Posted on 01/25/2010 11:12:21 AM PST by Def Conservative

As for Smith’s future, the press secretary says she’s toying with the idea of running for office in Arkansas one day. Her fans are already one step ahead of her. The Facebook fan group Draft Princella for U.S. Congress is steadily gaining names of voters who want Smith to run against Rep. Berry, the incumbent in her home district.

“I think in the long run she will be an elected official,” says Gingrich. “Her desire to serve people and her passionate interest in public policy make her somebody who will run for office.”

Interesting read. Feel free to add a bit more to your next excerpt, though. :)

What is a Gingrich?

Sounds like something old, has-been, worn-out, not needed.

So, we should believe the left-wingers at Politico when they give advice on Republican candidates.

I never heard of Princella, although I know numerous conservative bloggers. The very fact that Politico recommends her is enough to turn me off.

Newt Gingrich the Dede-lover? I don’t think so.

Isn’t the Rep. Berry mentioned here the one that just announced he’s retiring?

She's Puerto Rican and her last name is Smith? That's unusual.

Just as an aside: Under no circumstances should you refer to Puerto Ricans as “Ship-wrecked Mexicans”.

lol I am also getting tired of short (often irrelevant) excerpts.

The article must also be old. Didn't Arkansas Congressman Berry announce this weekend he was retiring?

A credible candidate offering up herself as a sacrificial lamb to campaign against a safe Democrat seat. No harm done spreading the campaigning field for the Dims. Other then that don’t see what the hype is about.

...Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich calls her “one of the most talented people I’ve met.” Republican strategist Mary Matalin calls her “the total package.” And there’s a Facebook group of more than 150 people hoping she’ll return to her home district and run against incumbent Rep. Marion Berry (D-Ark.). ...

ROLF!! :))

Newt is supporting her? Poor woman! :)

If you google Princella Smith, you come up with a number of things like this one.

But if you google Princella Sweet Potatoes, you come up with this:

What are you talking about? That seat wasn’t safe before Berry dropped out. Now it’s open and a tossup at least.

You are correct and I was wrong. I went and researched AR-01. This is a very possible pick up with a good candidate and P Smith is not the candidate for it.

She’s a little young. She could run for the state leg instead (where GOP numbers are pathetic).

I’m sure more Republicans will enter the US house race besides the one guy already in.
