C. Edmund Wright: GOP Needs 'Reality'-based Consultants

The Republican Party must oust its longtime consultants and replace them with advisers who come from a world of “reality," noted political columnist and author C. Edmund Wright.

“It’s not just Karl Rove [who] has certainly been, for about 12 or 13 years, the face of the establishment messaging machine," Wright — author of “WTF?: How Karl Rove and the Establishment Lost ... Again" — said on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show."

"This is a group [of consultants] that called Newt Gingrich the devil and then turned around and called Obama a nice guy and they thought they could win an election that way. And it’s admirably absurd."

Wright said he had a private conversation with a major super PAC donor at the Conservative Political Action Conference gathering last weekend and urged him to “invest in some people besides Karl Rove."

You are way out of line. I didn't say the TEAParty had nothing to do with it, but I'll tell you what, fewer Democrats showed up to vote than Republicans ~ always makes a big difference.

The point was to show that the RNC committee members are not in touch with the real world of politics.

BTW, those committee people don't like the TEAParty any more than they like winning ~ which they don't.

Mike Steele might not have been your kinda' guy, but if winning also required an RNC chairman who did what he did, then that's what it took ~ whatever it was. Fur Shur, this time out the RNC bit off a big pice of loss and they refused to acknowledge what losers they were when they decided they needed more of the hapless Priebus!

BTW, Priebus doesn't like the TEAParty at all ~ but he still lub dem Romneys!
