CD 8: Patty Weiss Counting on Occasional Voters

Got a nice e-mail from Weiss’s campaign manager, Frank Costanzo, urgently requesting volunteers to turn out “occasional voters,” apparently the new secret weapon and the secret to Patty’s success.

Maybe attack ads aren’t working too well, but occasional voters? The thing about those rascals is that they only vote, well…occasionally. The late call for a volunteer base to phone unlikely voters seems to me to be a day late, a dollar short, and desperate.

But what do I know? Miracles do ‘occasionally’ happen.

Well, Fedup, we occasionally agree on something.

Patty in the hands of real experts would have been a far more formidable candidate. She is a fabulous public speaker (the best in the entire race), intelligent, good looking, and her positions on issues are not particularly different from Latas or Giffords.

The importance of campaign staff cannot be overstated. If Jesse "the body" and Ahnold can become governors......

But not without staff.

Assert we are seeing something similar on the red side of this, with a pathetic Huffman campaign that may still fail even after the red gods descend with buckets of life support.

Here's hoping!!
