So Nancy Mace has radio ad buy attacking Lee Bright. Not Lindsey Graham, not Obama, Harry Reid, liberals in general - but Lee Bright.
Any Mace supporters? We need to hear from you.
thoughts? RTZ?
The goal of the all Non-McCain Mini Me candidates is to come in 2nd and hope Mini Me does not get to 50% + 1 vote. Bright has made the calculation that the Mini Me supporters are locked so it is all about siphoning votes from the other Non-Mini Me candidates.
Hmmm. Let's see ...
Because Lee Bright is crushing everyone on the Community Poll at Nancy's former partner's website? (left column 2 pgs down)
Because she's really a Grahamnesty plant being paid by LG to run in the primary?
Because she just can't take being beaten so badly?
She’s trying to position herself in the runoff.
Graham is not her competition, Bright is.
If it’s just her and Graham in the end, then she attacks him.
Yes, I know the conventional wisdom behind idiotic campaign consultants. Lee Bright has been dominating the challenger polls because he has totally focused on Obama ,Reid and Lindsey Graham as an enabler of them and their agenda.
This idea that to come in second, you must slam each other, will NOT keep Lindsey under 50. The way to keep Lindsey under 50 is to do what Bright is doing.
Unless Saturday evening’s SCETV debate at 8PM changes our minds, Mrs. R2z and I have pretty much settled on Richard Cash.
That’s stupid politics. You come in second by going after Graham BETTER than any other is….what she’s trying never works.
Cash? Oh, do tell why.
I agree. Just offering the competitive take...
The possibility she’s a Grahamnesty spoiler exists too. Might not have started that way but by now his guys may have made a deal with her.
Graham’s a cagey little poof. Once he got in, he’s hanging on with all four feet.
If she’s figuring Lindsey isn’t getting to 50% then her strategy is to make sure she’s in 2nd place so she makes the runoff. This suggests they have polling that shows Graham to be weak.
I have been wondering where she has been getting the money to run so many ads.
Rove? Chamber of Commerce?
Yes, I get that - I’ve wrtitten many columns, and heck, a BOOK about how misguided that kind of primary strategy is.
The reason Lee Bright has not mentioned Mace, Cash, Connor et al is because they are NOT the problem. The problem is obama, and Graham as an enabler of Obama. This by the way is how Newt dominated the GOP process for a while….and when he started attacking Mitt, he went straight down hill.
This is not a football playoff - you need to play the “ultimate opponent” in every round. So many consultants, and Freepers, don’t get that.
Oh, I get it. I was just offering what Mace and her staff seem to consider the strategy. Btw, I am not a fan of Mace, consider her to be what the Brits call a chancer, and fully support Bright.
Yeah, and perhaps I should have said in my original post that I understand the conventional thinking behind this kind of crapola - and what I was really wondering was if anyone could come up with a good reason to do it…...
Rumors are around to that effect - and she was the only competitor to NOT agree to support any challenger in a run off.
Off topic but I wanted to tell you I enjoy your bits on Sam Sorbo.
Wish her show were easier to find online!
Cheers,
Jim
Late last week, I heard that Nancy Mace DIDN’T authorize those radio ads or approve of them. Any idea who might have run them?
