... Hillary's new chief campaign strategist keeps sending me e-mails (of course I'm still on the list) asking for my personal feedback.
What a good idea, I think, actually asking supporters, us "little people," for our feedback.
If Mark Penn had been doing this sort of supporter-outreach/acting like he gave a flying frig what supporters thought sort of thing months earlier, instead of holing up with his Microtrends and locking the door, I would have had a hell of a lot to say. Now, it's -- sniff -- too late.
But Geoff does seem like a decent guy, even likable and earnest (I think "un-smarmy" is the word I'm looking for) for a campaign strategist. Saw him on "Meet the Press" last week, and it was pretty much a lovefest between him and his old pal, Obama guy David Axelrod, in between the obligatory campaign bickering.
About Me
- eudaimonia
- As noted on my bio page, along with the fact that I will occasionally wear a scarf, I work in the communications/media industry. In my other life, I am a grad student and (eek) poet. I live in state-sanctioned holy matrimony with a person of the opposite gender, but we find it more romantic to play like we're just shacking up. Actually, we've been together about 10 years as of today. Politically, I'm a registered Democrat who sometimes votes Libertarian, still mourns the death of the socialist project and thinks Arlen Specter is kind of cute (in that curmudgeonly grandfather kind of way.) Metaphysically speaking, my closest fits right now are secular humanist/religious trivia buff/failed mystic. Re: all this about the Golden Mean, etc., I wish I could say I knew my Classics (much less geometry) inside and out, but what I dig I dig.
