Neither base has any freaking idea who Valerie Jarrett is. Half our FReepers don’t, and we’re roughly 10X more politically plugged in than the LIVers.
That’s why he said it on a radio interview, more people would understand the situation.
I guess I’m a cynic. I beleive when career politicians speak in public three weeks prior to an election they are never winging it. They have a purposeful message meant to win votes. So in this case when I say the base, I mean conservatives, not GOP snobs. Conservatives who may not show up because they perceive Roberts as a multiterm DC insider GOPe apparatchik. They may not vote for the fake independant but he needs them to show up to vote for him. So he’s talking about the IRS scandal, which nobody seems to care about except conservatives, and saying that high level people in the White House were driving it (i.e Obama knew, without saying “Obama knew”). Doesn’t matter if they know who Valerie Jarrett is or the theory that she supposedly is Obama’s puppet master. Red meat.
