I love Christine, too, but she has assembled one of the worst campaign staffs in political history. The Washington outsider turned to Washington insiders, and she is paying a horrifying price.
We desperately need a serious conservative organization that can step in to help candidates organize their campaigns, do their media, organize at the grassroots level, etc. AFP comes closest. A year or so ago, ALG seemed like it might be on the right course. Then, it’s sociopathic, heavy-drinking political director destroyed the NY23 campaign, offended everyone in the Scott Brown campaign, screwed up their efforts for Angle — and that org went down the tubes.
We need a new organization of true professionals. Committed, conscientious people who will take a serious approach. It’s just that simple.
Your post is the best on this thread. I think you are 100% right.
They need to get out of the way, and let the grassroots at the local level evolve naturally.
As far as help to campaigns, Tea Party Express is closest to having it right. They are the most effective Tea Party, if not conservative group in the country. Their direct efforts translated to winning elections.
