Republican Attorney General Primary Question

Feb 26 2009

How can you run to the right of someone in a primary and at the same time claim that other individual is too far right to win statewide?

Does this make sense to anyone?

UPDATE: I know there’s the usual “say one thing to appeal to the base in a primary and say another thing to appeal to the general electorate” mentality, but that assumes that:

  1. Your base is stupid
  2. The general electorate is stupid
  3. Both will support you anyway despite your lying

If you’re counting on any of these three, well, can’t say I respect that one bit…

2 responses so far

  1. I don’t know if it makes any sense, but perhaps it suggests that, once the smoke clears, Dave Foster will end up with the nomination.

  2. So Cooch is not to the right of Attila the Hun.
