DCCC STATEMENT ON KERRY BENTIVOLIO’S NOMINATION IN MICHIGAN 11

AUG 08, 2012

Despite a cheerful jingle and backroom scheming, establishment Michigan Republicans could not thwart Ron Paul Tea Party darling Kerry Bentivolio who was propelled to victory in tonight's primary by Congressman Thad McCotter's abrupt retirement. For Bentivolio, a reindeer rancher and Santa impersonator, it's Christmas in August. For Washington Republicans, tonight's defeat is going to leave a mark.

“Washington Republicans face a daunting new setback over a seat that shouldn't be causing them heartburn because Kerry Bentivolio is so out-of-step that his own party didn’t want him,” said Haley Morris of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Now after conspiring against him, establishment Republicans are stuck with Kerry Bentivolio, a candidate so bizarre and out of touch, it's unclear who beyond the extreme right wing would ever embrace him.”

"who would embrace him?"

Last I checked a lot of ppl did yesterday, more then both deems combined.
 
I don't think they could possibly have put together a statement which would endear him more to voters of all parties and no party, than that one.

I hate Democratic political operatives. I wish they would all jump off a bridge.
