Hager calls to tell me NOT to vote for him
By E M Barner | Friday, May 23rd, 2008 | Catch-AllWell, not exactly. But he might as well have. Campaigning bulletin 101: do not repeat your opponents invectives — it magnifies their impact and betrays your status as a strategic neophyte. I hadn’t even heard the latest until Hager spent the first half of today’s recorded call denying them.
Apparently, John Hager is NOT too close to Mark Warner and Mark Warner really did NOT endorse John Hager at the Shad Planking. Excellent. We’ll remember that.

It’s fairly simple. If you like the direction of the Party, continue the same leadership.
If you think we need a change, vote for change.
Anyone think everything’s just hunky dory in the Virginia GOP?
And this is the General who is going to lead Republican army to victory, eh?
I think I saw better Generals managing the motor pool, concerning themselves with whether someone filled out a maintenance inspection form correctly.
This is simply an embarrassment.
Why are all of the Democrats supporting Hager?
Because they want to keep winning.
Jeff Frederick is young, energetic and he scares the Hell out of the Democrats. Good!
Unfortunately, the median age of our Republican Convention delegates is about sixty-seven years old. Many are blue-haired old ladies who are in that twelve percent of the population who still trusts the Bush-Neocon agenda to keep Osama the boogeyman away. They just keep popping those Prozacs or Zolofts and everything is beautiful to the prescription numbed brains of the blue-hairs:
National ID card: Kewl!
Torture: Go for it!
Rendering: OK!
Warrantless Wiretaps: They like being tapped and hope that Bush picks them!
Imprisonment without trial: Fine, as long as its not one of the blue hairs.
Yes, it is true that the few young Republicans that exist, know that it is change or perish time for the GOP, but the majority of the GOP; those blue haired old ladies and the men who act just like them, are too bombed out of their minds on what their HMO’s pill pusher gave them to keep them happy, to understand a word that Jeff is saying to them.
Pity.
I’ll never vote for a Bohemian Grove attendee.
