Now you're just fishing you wanker.

The Harvard symbol- WAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Did Webb fire Jarding?

[Roanoker]

I predict Jessica is fired (again)

If Jarding goes...Saunders will follow.

Seasoned pros need to be brought in.

I really wonder how long it will take Saunders to have his meltdown?

This picture and article say it all...

Here's the one statement that really sticks out from this interview:"
For [Miller] to accuse of us of anti-Semitism, I take it personal...and I am offended."

Well, Dave, how in the hell do you think that Mr. Miller felt when he saw the cartoon with the hook nose depiction? Don't you think he took it personally.

He did and rightly so.

What a hypocrite!

Here's the bottom-line about Saunders, he is all bluster. He's a bully. He cusses. He threatens. He talks loud and never lets anyone else get a word in edgewise.

But, in the end, bullies always get exposed for being the little people that they really are.

Now that he is going against some seasoned operatives, he'll be stuck with his dick in his hand and wondering what in the hell just happened.

That's the deal.....

Do they have the men in white coats waiting for Jarding as he leaves?

Ah, memories:

Damn, I wonder if Webb fired Jarding?

Positive changes in any campaign takes money. Has Webb's finances improved enough lately to be able to affort "A" team consultants and campaign management?

[George Templeton]

I feel like a dope for asking this, but I will ask. Who is this person with the flying toupee. What happened to the flying toupee Sabato?

[Lewis Armistead]

Win,
You bring up a good point regarding the fundraising.

What they really need is a good fundraiser. Let's face it, the candidate has to be willing to make the calls.

[Lewis Armistead]

The man with the toupee is one of the two men "behind the curtain." The great Oz himself....Steve Jarding -- the chief political consultant.

I'll feel like a dope for saying:

Bob Hope.

I'll feel like a moron if I am wrong.

[George Templeton]

Thank you Lewis. I guess it would be too much to assume that Jarding is the subject of this breaking news.

[Lewis Armistead]

At this point, who the hell knows? NLS knows. I'm sure he's just waiting to confirm.

Lewis Armistead is coward with an ax to grind. Maybe he got ticked at Yearly Kos?

Keep whistling Lewis.....

A few days after Mudcat and Wadhams were on Hardball, I was at a downtown news conference and I ran into an old college friend who works for one of the political think tanks.

What she said really shocked me: The Webb campaign was telling reporters that they (campaign) did not know that Mudcat was going on Hardball. I said I did not believe that, and I found that accusation just ridiculous.

I phoned a local reporter that afternoon. He was told mixed messages from the Webb campaign about Mudcat's appearance on Hardball. Never good.

While I would like to believe that Mudcat's appearance was probably not the best coordination from the Webb campaign, I also want to believe that the friction within the campaign would resolve quickly.

One thing is for sure: Us Dems know that life is not so great within the Webb campaign, and it is painfully evident that the MSM knows that life is not good within the campaign. They will pounce with print if the campaign becomes too weak to counter.

It is June 29th. We have no more time to mess around. A campaign cannot successfully fundraise if prospective contributors lack confidence in the campaign management. Period.

From the campanion thread on this topic:

A couple of obvious suggestions if 50% of this is true:

1. Get some gray hair in charge. Lots of it nearby with lots of experience. Amateur hour is way over if we expect to win.

2. Get over the kool aid primary attitude. The Miller team that we were talking about in February is starting to drift away out of state. Stupid.

The rest is fairly obvious to anyone who has ever run a serious campaign.

And a serious campaign is not one promoting a big effort to reach $100,000 when your opponent has $7mm in the bank, nor thinking that "blogging on Koz right now!" is actually campaigning.

[Virginia's Right Stuff]

It's obvious that a shake-up is needed; I just highly doubt that Webb knows enough about campaigning to reallize just how poorly his campaign is being run.

[DemTilDeath]

More rumors about a shakeup? There have been rumors of a shakeup within the Webb campaign for ages. Am I missing something?

Alarmed,

You are RIGHT ON.

[Alarmed]

Well, I was wrong: we've set our sights on another $15k and announced our new goal of reaching $115,000 by tomorrow. That's a couple of days of Allen's current ad buy.

This is as sad as the fact that we are having this discussion:

No more Jarding... Please!!!!

Different spin that what our conservative buddies are weaving.
