Hey DUmmies! Wendy Davis Campaign in Tatters. Media turns against her!
« on: February 04, 2014, 01:56:04 AM »
I know you DUmmies love her because Wendy loves to kill her some babies, but her campaign is in big trouble. She's crashing so bad Texas is being dragged even further right. and this is at the worst time: 2014 general elections.
Mr Mannn ~~ Looks forward to tasting your tears of defeat.

TX Reporter: Wendy Davis Campaign 'Worst at Media Relations I've Ever Seen'

For a candidate who owes her name recognition to a friendly media, Wendy Davis is having trouble not riling up the local press. Dave Mann of the Texas Observer writes that the extent to which her team is botching media relations is "the worst ... I've ever seen," an embarrassment weakening her candidacy.

Mann initially admits that he is not a media relations specialist, but has covered a large number of political campaigns. Davis's, he says, holds the record for absolute worst, and it threatens to sink her entire campaign. Attributing the follies to inexperienced, young media flacks, Mann nonetheless finds some of the behind the scenes errors inexcusable.

Among the Davis media team's "Greatest Hits" are sending reporters to the wrong venue for a press event, inviting them to a media event closed to the press, and "refusing to confirm basic campaign scheduling details" out of media suspicion. While the initial mistakes were "funny," Mann writes, the staffers are significantly damaging Davis's ability to spread her message--even interrupting Davis once before she could answer a question at a press event, rendering the candidate unable to deliver a statement.

According to Mann, however, the crown jewel of Wendy Davis's campaign media errors is the rude invitation to attend Davis's speech with Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood president. The invitation was rude, he notes, because the event was closed to the press. "When reporters arrived at the Four Seasons ballroom," to an event they received a media advisory for, "they were turned away."

Only one outlet was allowed to cover the event: the Dallas Morning News. The Davis camp provided reporters at the event with a live stream link. "This is not unlike someone sending you an invitation that says you’re not invited to a party, but, hey, you can watch it on Skype," Mann writes. Ultimately, he concludes that the bigger issue for the campaign is not the threat of angering reporters, but the fact that limiting and unnecessarily causing friction in the relationship with the media means Wendy Davis will reach fewer voters than desired.

This is what happens to a campaign without an ideological core--liberal or conservative. Upon being attacked for embellishing her life story, Davis immediately attacked her opponent (who had nothing to do with the Dallas Morning News story unmasking her), the reporter who dug up her backstory (a well-known liberal writer), and, running out of ideas, Rush Limbaugh. Abbott, her campaign insisted, had not "walked a day in my shoes." (Abbott is a paraplegic.) Instead of correcting her story and putting the scandal behind her, she sent out a press release asserting, "Damn right" her certifiably untrue story "is a true story." Her daughters praised her modesty.

When reports surfaced that Democrats didn't trust her because she was once a registered Republican who donated to George W. Bush, she bizarrely replied that not being trusted was "a compliment" because "I am not driven by" ideology. Then, in another attempt at distraction, Davis suddenly claimed to be in favor of gun rights despite her "F" rating from the NRA. The pro-gun push resulted in a lamentable photo of Davis holding former Governor Ann Richards' rifle at an event where no media were allowed. Had there been media, maybe a professional would have taken a better photo.

The kitchen sink approach is doing Davis no favors, and now we hear from Texas journalists that the operation looks even more in tatters from up close. It leaves voters confused, media inclined to be sympathetic outraged, and the Republican Party of Texas laughing all the way to Austin. When an entire candidacy is built around the candidate's thirst for power, things like "policy ideas" and "a PR strategy" fall by the wayside, and few campaigns make that point as clearly as the unraveling mess that is Wendy Davis's.

Do you know why there isn't any recent polls of Davis? Because she is polling so low, the liberals are too embarrassed to publish them.

This is published as a public service for DUmmies because DUmmies do this when they see/hear opposing opinions:

Some of the commenters were guessing by how many points Wendy would lose.  One person proposed 60.  Another came back and said the Hispanics will vote for her because of the gimmes.  It will be much closer, but Texas will remain red.

Generally, the Hispanic thing is true with one exception.  Hispanic men don't like uppity women.  They're supposed to be in the kitchen making menudo, not running around killing babies willy-nilly.  I may be wrong, but I highly doubt she'll get as much of the Hispanic vote as the DUmmies are counting on.  I think the Hispanics will stay home rather than get out and vote for a ditzy, dumb, baby-slaughtering blonde that abandoned her babies.

No way Greg Abbot gets 80% of the vote, but I'd put money on him beating Abortion Barbie by 15.

Being in Texas, I'm glad I have front row tickets to this train wreck. I know I shouldn't watch, but I just can't look away... :yahoo:

Watching the DUmmies make up various excuses and theories on why she is losing could be interesting.

You nailed them.  They are most definitely "pretty boys" of the rico suave type.  Demons both.  I'm worried that abortion Barbie is going to vag out too soon and one of those creatures will jump into the race.  The dead Hispanic women will show up in droves to vote for one of them.
