I typically charge for my sage wisdom on campaign
communications strategy, but sometimes, a candidate is obviously in such dire
need of help that I simply cannot abide not offering free advice. Case on
point? Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, who is stumbling haplessly
through what appears to be an audition for a reality show on the Lifetime network
rather than a legitimate race for governor of a state with an GDP greater than
most European nations.
Whether it’s gleefully claiming that she’s pro-life
because she cares for children once they’ve been medically separated from their
mothers uterus, or embellishing her decidedly middle-class upbringing to
engender trust in her faux compassion for Texas’s poor, or making the
always-solid decision to run on a platform banning firearms in Texas, Wendy’s
had a real streak of winning ideas. But none may be so bold as her more recent
declaration, at a cozy SoHo cocktail party in NYC : that the state she wants to lead is a
toxic cesspool.- See more at:
