WXXI Cheney reportedly to campaign for Kuhl
I would love to go to this event. I’ve never met Cheney and something like this would be a good chance to talk to him without him alreadly being on the deffensive. Its rather disarming being surrounded by supporters. I wouldn’t be able to ask truely pointed questions or I’d get kick out. Or maybe not, I suppose if you’ve paid a thousand dollars then maybe you would get a chance to ask some questions. Same for Kuhl, I’d like to get to talk with him even just for a couple minutes to get a better sence of the guy. Ok well thats as far as I can go with being nice. I’m fairly sure that evil isn’t contagious so I should be safe in the same room as Cheney, might wear some garlic just in case. Of course seeing as I wasn’t sure if I could swing the $35 for Massa’s event I know I don’t have a grand to drop on Kuhl’s. I know a current VP is a bigger draw than a former Senator but damn, $35 vs. $1000 kinda shows what type of people support each candidate. Of course it is a little risky I mean bringing in the VP is a great way to motivate your base but at the same time that VP is no well liked, the guy has been around the 20% approval rate for months now. This move also shows that while Kuhl keep talking as if Massa is hardly a challenge he is obviously acting as if he knows that the threat is real. It keeps being listed as one of the closest races in the country. This one is going to go down to the wire unless something big happens, and it will get ugly. Massa keeps saying he refuses to play dirty and that he will not do personal attacks but outside groups, MoveOn on the left-newly renamed Swiftboat on the Right, don’t have to play nice. Kuhl has also said that he won’t do personal attacks but his response to the MoveOn ads were pretty much attacks so I won’t be shocked if the mud slinging will commence shortly, hopefully not. Who knows maybe both sides will stick to their guns and avoid all that and stick with the issues… hey it’s possible.
