They screw up Republicans, too....

Democratic Central had the following statement:

A good entry on RollingStone.com touches on one of my favorite topics -- how political consultants screw up Democrats.

Maybe we should send all the political consultants to the dems....

Seriously, there are some good ones out there but it concerns me when they override the grassroots volunteers who know their communities. If someone had asked us before it occurred, we here in the SWAC area could have told the Kilgore campaign folks it wasn't a good idea to use out-of-state volunteers and lit-drop on cars parked at churches on the Sunday morning before Election Day. We're still living that one down.

The consultants sometimes cause the candidates to be in bubbles away from the real world. But, then, I'm not a consultant so I don't have a voice at that table....
