Could it be that the conservative press /commentariat will not have Ashley Judd to kick around?
Thanks Karl Rove, you putz. When are we going to get opportunities like this in politics again!
Democrats step back from Ashley Judd for Senate drive
Hollywood actress-turned-Senate-hopeful Ashley Judd may have a harder time winning the hearts and minds of Democrats to support her campaign against Sen. Mitch McConnell after all.
Democratic Party leaders are stepping back and taking a clear look at the candidate, and some say she may not be best to run against the five-term Kentucky senator in 2014, Newsmax reports.
Karl Rove, the Republican establishment political guru, was apparently seriously worried about her candidacy. He was worried enough to spend thousands of dollars of donor money to run ads about her in Kentucky in order to save Mitch McConnell. Now Mitch McConnell is pretty much an establishment guy, a deal maker, so how much in disrepute was he to be threatened (according to Rove’s actions) by Ashley Judd? And Todd Akin was a problem child by Rove’s standards?
Well, apparently a consultant can convince donors of anything. Regardless, we think Pat Caddell was right . . . story here .
Pat Caddell, the Fox News Contributor and Democrat pollster who engineered Jimmy Carter’s 1976 Presidential victory, blew the lid off CPAC on Thursday with a blistering attack on “racketeering” Republican consultants who play wealthy donors like “marks.”
“I blame the donors who allow themselves to be played for marks. I blame the people in the grassroots for allowing themselves to be played for suckers….It’s time to stop being marks. It’s time to stop being suckers. It’s time for you people to get real,” he told the audience that included two top Republican consultants.
Our previous Ashley/Rove related stories can be viewed here 1; here 2; here 3; here 4; here 5; here 6; here 7 . . . and no we are not obsessed it is just that the whole matter is so related to what is wrong with Republican affairs. We will have more to say with reference to Caddell’s comments, the RNC, and the Scott County Republican Central Committee in days ahead. R Mall
