Working on the last 5
|
First off the canidate doesn't really run his team. Not at this level. A state level house race yes a congressional level race maybe but when you have people that work for you across the nation the canidate cannot make all the decisions they are on the road all the time. That being said i would like to make the first post about my friend. Stan Spears JR was a great man. He was the veterans coordinator in SC. He fought the state team everyday for the veterans. When i would go down to South Carolina he would always call me and talk to me on my 4+plus hour drive every Saturday. In the closing weeks he would by my breakfast and even had the camp pick up my hotel rooms. Stan and i become very good friends. After SC we still talked about 4 hours a week and he kept me up to date on the events. July 12th Stan died of a heart attack. He was a true friend and i have missed talking politics and the mentorship he offered for months. I am sad tonight I do not have him to talk to. Whatever i say about the camp it is in no way a reflectio of Stan Spears JR he was a great man. RIP Stan we lost buddy but because I met people like you I won. I was very fortunate to meet other great men along the way. Sec Will Ball. Sec Ball was once the Sec of the Navy under Ronald Reagon. Sec Ball understood I have no money and always made sure whenever I was around him that my meals and such got paid for. I still speak with him about once a week. Robert Bud Mcfarlane was a classmate of Sen McCain at the Naval Acedemy. He later became the National Security Advisor under Ronald Reagon. He is the link that was able to get me onto the team and have the clout i was somewhat afforded. I met many POW's along the trail. I work for one now. One of the POW's met me at an event and assited me in my franchise/office I run for him in Raleigh. Unfortunetly the American people never got to meet theses people. Instead the RNC decide Nancy Potshitidiot became a spokesmen. Tucker Bound to say something stupid. The RNC was so message concerned they never let the people that really believed in Sen McCain speak. Orson Swindle was shot down on his last mission in Vietnam. He spent over 6 years in the POW camp. Why did the RNC believe Tucker could speak about the Senator better than someone that spent years with him in the POW camp. The team was divided between the professional hacks and those of us they truly respected and believed in Sen McCain. We lost by what 3% in FL Ohio IN NC Va Montana that is 89 points with MO still out there. I am sure if these people had been the spokesmen we would have gotten the few extra votes we needed. NC is a heartbreaker thinking we lost bu 4,000 votes I think. That was on the NCGOP. They hired all young I mean under 25 mostly cut little girls. The girls thought if you asked the for something they where doing you a favor. They almost had the attitude one should be lucky to be a volunteer. I have a friend at the track and had a deal setup for Sen McCain to be a secondary sponsor on a IRL car but the all knowing was to smart. I wanted money for a Special Olympics fundraiser in April. The head camp never sent the check. I since Jan tried to put a fundraiser together for Sen McCain in Raleigh. I know the finance committee got the info but it was not what they wanted. I think last weeks event in Fayetteville sums them up the best. Sen McCainn was coming to Fayetteville. A Three count them 3 star General lives very close to Fayetteville. Those those of you that do not know Fayetteville is a Military town. Home to Special Forces and the 82nd. I asked if the General could introduce the Senator and they said all no. I then asked if the General could meet Sen McCain now did I feel to mention the 3 star General is a voulunteer for McCain. A county chairmen. They didn't thin it would be prudent. McCain had three paid staffers in NC. One a decent enough guy was about 24 and a Ivy league grad. One a super hott NC Student who took a semester off nd finally a Law school student whom took a semester off. This was a battleground state home to many veterans and we are running war hero and the RNC did not hire one Veteran in NC. The paid staff never reached out to local canidates. I am pissed and sour tonight but I will let it go for now. God Bless America |

Message discipline from the campaign was horrible. Simply put, there was no direction...it was always changing message. The Obama campaign was a well oiled machine in comparison. While you say that the right spokespeople for McCain could have made up the difference in the tight states, I will argue that the Obama campaign always knew where they stood in every state and if the lead had slipped, they simply would have refocused their power there. Know why the Obama campaign let McCain pound away in Penn? Because they always knew that it wasn't a risk to lose. And while McCain did that, they hit Florida, Ohio, Colorado, and Virginia. |

McCain's party and camp definitely dicked him over, no question. Bush dicked him over really hard. |
