Never let the enemy determine the field of battle. Use every resource to tactical advantage. Over and over, I see "the professionals" wreck campaigns for their own benefit. The classic was when Bill Simon ran for governor and Parsky and crew stipulated Wilson Jones. The consultants tend to see everything through media and ad buys, in part, because they make their money on a percentage. It is this fee structure that has turned politicians into corporate whores, paying our enemies (the MSM) to get our message out and giving them advanced notice of every move.

I'm damned tired of it.

Don't get me wrong, you are 100% correct in your assessment of "the professionals".

"The Professionals" were the sole reason Cucinelli lost as well. Hiring the scum of the earth Romney people to run his campaign, as I have heard, was fatal.

Then go back and look at the ad that was posted at the top of the thread, compare it to the one I proposed in post 26 to Impeach98, and tell me that what the professionals propose to do is a superior strategy. I don't see it. Theirs looks to me like an ad agency hustling for cash flow in an off year.
