Well maybe I’m wrong then. FWIW, you sound confident and credible to me.
I do agree that it seems obvious that this was sent to CNN by Janet Mills rather than discovered in house. I was just saying that I think this kind of research is easy enough for CNN to do that they could, but I agree that based on the timing of Mills’ entrance into the race and the fact that I just don’t really expect places like CNN to be that proactive that, yeah, this was absolutely sent to them in an email that probably looked like: “Subject: Anonymous bombshell tip! ; From: PR@ millsforsenate. com”
I’m curious how it works out. Attacking a guy running as an outsider in Maine for being pro-worker, pro-gun, and fed up with the system kind of sounds like they’re misreading the electorate. Like… don’t threaten Mainers with a good time, you know?
Good for you, and thanks for doing all that! I won’t prescribe a specific strategy, but for what it’s worth: as soon as I read the news about this today, I went and donated $10.
I already liked him, but I don’t just throw $10 at everyone I like. But I saw this and immediately wanted his campaign to see strong fundraising this week and get the message that they don’t need to worry about this kind of thing.
