The Grass Roots Campaign Forgot the Grass Roots
Bruce Lunsford was sitting at the right hand of one of the richest guys in Warren County. He invited a few of his closest friends to meet with a candidate that has a real shot at knocking off Mitch McConnell for his Senate seat.
“We are a grass-roots campaign, from the bottom up, because we know Mitch is going to run a campaign from the top down,” Lunsford said from a seat next to Garvin’s desk.
Nice start Bruce and David. Leave the little man out of the meeting. Did you all have cigars to create the prototypical smoke filled room?
Forget that Obama doesn’t have his “listening” campaign anywhere near the fourth largest population center in the state. Lunsford says the area is “important.”
So they announced he may return to Beech Bend in six weeks.
In Garvin We Trust? I don’t know Garvin, I don’t know Lunsford. I would like to meet Lunsford, but because it was a private meeting, I didn’t get the chance.
“Well, you know me, don’t you?” Garvin told her (a person at the meeting). “I’m telling you that he’s a good man.”
Nope, not good enough.
