Mark McKinnon: Why I’m Working With Hillary Clinton Now (McCain/Bush advisor defects)

He helped Republicans lose and Hillary wants his advice?
What a joke!

I doubt Sarah Palin will be picking advisors with a history of losing presidential elections when she runs for president.

Duh! I think he was ALWAYS working for Hill, or at least for the Dems. So were most of McPain's advisers , as well as Mitt's--actually they were mostly one and the same.

Unfortunately, Cherry, the stupid voter is not the exclusive property of the Democrat Party. Many Republicans are just as stupid and just as ill-informed.

The difference is that the Democrat Party has developed a system for getting the votes out of their stupid voters, whether the dumb bastards show up or not, and furthermore they are not limited to the actual number of the stupid. You see, they have a series of processes they can use to multiply them and develop as many votes as are needed to carry an election.

OTOH, the Republican Stupid Voter (aka "Our Dumb Bastards") gets confused, or angry, or angry and confused, and just stays home on election day. They answer my-not-always-polite queries with,
"Oh what difference does it make? They're all the same bunch'o'crooks, etc. etc. etc, my vote doesn't count, I need a ride, gotta do the garden, watchin' the game...yadda yadda yadda."
I estimate that at least 20% of my VFW pals do not show up! Then they hang around bitchin' about "Obama," who ain't got nuthin' top do with nuthin'!

To repeat: The equally stupid Democrats say the same thing, but their voting is handled for them. As long as the GOP turns a blind eye to fraud ... and neglects driving the stupid Republicans into registration and actually voting ... no chance, baby.

Perhaps he’s a homo.

Perhaps he’s a homo.

Probably not, read his bio. He was a big Dem media guy before working for GW Bush. Acolyte of Paul Begala with names like Ann Richards in his resume.

He strikes me as very much a Dick Morris type. Hired political gun, goes wherever the power and money are. Remember that Morris consulted for both Jesse Helms AND Howard Metzenbaum. During the same freakin' campaign cycle.

[dfwgator]

So he’s basically a whore.

[tanknetter]

So he’s basically a whore.

That's my take. He's gone Dem to GOP and now back to Dem. Granted he didn't do what Morris managed with the Helms/Metzenbaum consulting (same cycle for opposite ends of the political spectrum). This guy is at least allowing an "honorable gap" between his flips ;-)

It is amazing who you can work for when you don’t have core beliefs.

[DPMD]

The phrase “I care about problem solving” always gives it away. Liberal democrat.
