empathize with ordinary folks how does that play out? is there a juxtaposition there that is ringing hollow? she is taking income equality fighting for the little guy and getting big money out of campaigns. those are three interesting messages from hilary clinton and according to this book the money that came out of these governments. it is interesting to see how much mitt romney got attacked for his wealth and the way he dealt with finances with the companies we ll dealt with in bane capital. i think you will see a focus if there are opponents to hilary clinton taking a more left progressive look at where the party wants to be she may have to address her messaging around
the same play book. and it s harder to do that if you don t have wealthy interests to kind of characterize the republicans as following just like you did with bane capital in 2012. that s a two-fold strategy. not just a great narrative foil for democrats to fire up the base, it s also a very tool. if you believe in transparency and you see funds pumped inshady groups that win elections i believe dave waggle quotes e-mail solicitations that didn t mention the koch brothers averaged $2500 while ones that mentioned them averaged $6500. yeah. that makes perfect sense to me. that doesn t shock me at all. i think that it s already
too late. mitt romney could not spend enough money. there a couple of things going on. condensing the primary process. instead of months to about four months. that mean fewer debates. he is probably talking about debates and he is probably talking about stories that can be written about republicans attacking republicans. when have a long primary process. the reason they moved up the convention to june as opposed to august is that they can have access to general election money. if you will recall last time, mid-romney was betting hit on bane capital and he couldn t get access to his big pile of general election monuntil right after the convention. he went all summer without being able to answer the ads in the
this kind of thing out of the way early so he doesn t have to answer to it closer to the possible campaign. yeah, this is probably good that this is getting out there early. how many people, how many voters, how many national voters are actually paying granular level attention to this. i was looking at twitter last night, and a member of the obama campaign tweeted at me and said how many voters knew about bane capital before the campaign started running tv ads about it. so this is something that democrats are absolutely going to want to use against him. gen, to undercut that image of him as a bipartisan figure and to actually reenforce an image of him as a bully, which a lot of democrats say he is. and the immanual that would linger for the national republican party at large as they re trying to rebrand in
she got on the banking committee. what i m hearing from folks is nervousness on k street about elizabeth warren getting a seat on this incredibly influential committee and nervousness about her actually following through on promises like glass/steagall, the volcker rule, ensuring that the dodd frank financial law gets enforced. well, they really tried to not have to face this because if you look at what the financial industry did to help scott brown s campaign, the incumbent she beat, $5.5 million came from the financial industry. among the top tendo nors to scott brown s campaign, fidelity investments, goldman sachs, liberty mutual, price waterhouse coopers, jpmorgan chase, and bane capital. interesting. these are the top tendo nors to or contributors to her
