Red State has another sign of how far the Democrats have fallen in Roll Call‘s “Heard On The Hill”:
Sick and tired of losing, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee seems to have adopted a new and very basic recruiting tactic for the 2006 elections: Simply call the Republican Member you are hoping to beat and ask him who the best candidate would be to run against him.
Think we’re joking?
Just ask Glenn Rushing, the DCCC’s national field director, who last week left an ill-advised message for Mike Brady, the chief of staff to National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Reynolds (N.Y.).
“Congressman [Rahm] Emanuel asked me to give your boss a call to see if he knew of any potential candidates in New York 26,†says Rushing, according to a tape of the voicemail obtained by HOH.
Sick and tired of losing? One would think they’d be acclimated to it by now…
