Baffle Them With BS

Must-read from Politico and the Democrats’ special-election woes:

According to sources familiar with the effort, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has already assembled teams of top party operatives — including veteran pollster John Anzalone and longtime ad man Saul Shorr to work on the Pennsylvania campaign, and media strategist David Dixon, who signed on to work the Hawaii race — to oversee what are expected to be large and expensive independent expenditure operations.

More important, two Democratic sources told POLITICO that the DCCC is working feverishly to prevent a very real scenario in which the two top Democrats split the party vote and enable Republican Charles Djou to capture the heavily Democratic seat in Hawaii’s May 22 all-party special election.

Every ounce of effort expended protecting “safe” seats in Hawaii and Pennsylvania is one ounce less effort available to retroactively sell the public on the recent health care nationalization. That goes for all the money spent, too. A contested House race in Hawaii? Even Politico admits that a loss there could instill “panic among the rank and file.”

Hey, maybe they could try listening to their constituents and stop spending trillions we don’t have and radically expanding their control over the health care industry.

Naaaaaah.
