But while I take issue with that, it's not what I am interested in discussing today.
In response to Herseth-Sandlin's news release accusing Noem of “hiding out” because her “debate performances in August demonstrated she has little to offer when it comes to policy specifics” in a news release; her campaign manager, Joshua Shields had this to offer:
“Kristi and Congresswoman Herseth Sandlin have debated five times. They’ll debate at least two more times,” he said. “Kristi has consistently shown the clear differences between her and Congresswoman Herseth Sandlin’s record.”
Yes, Herseth Sandlin having one and Noem, not. Or is he defending her for not having policy specifics? Or has he just realized that they're campaign is solely rooted in negativity, and that his candidate has very little to offer beyond just a pretty face?
Good call. That last line from Shields captures the absurdity of the campaign he's running... and his inability to phrase a strong sentence. SHS gives us a real record, real performance. Noem is all image, trying to ride the wake of the Palin fad.
ReplyDeleteIf having political discourse "rooted in negativity" is something to be avoided, then perhaps the Barbaric Times should lead by example and write a post that focuses on what Steph does right, and not just in comparison to Noem. The not-so-tough job of ridiculing Noem’s campaign is probably more enjoyable – but you run the risk of looking like the left-wing mirror to Noem’s negative political style and that’s something you don’t want.
ReplyDelete"trying to ride the wake of the Palin fad."
