Showing Original Post only (View all)One thing REALLY bothers me about Lamb's campaign: [View all]
His disavowal of Nancy Pelosi, presumably to ward off attacks on him trying to pin her to him.
First, IMO she's not that liberal. But she was one of THE MOST EFFECTIVE Speakers of the House ever.
Second, and more important, the GOP will vilify and demonize ANYONE who's the Dem Leader of the House -- and all the easier to do when she's a woman (so yes, it's also sexist).
Third, and a little less important but still an issue, leadership IMO on Lamb's part would have involved standing up to that line of attack. What / who will he next feel required to disavow because of Republicon attacks, which they now know he's vulnerable to?
IMPORTANT NOTE: This post is NOT an argument pro or con Pelosi. It's NOT an argument pro or con Lamb and his centrist views. It's about ONE single issue about how he waged/handled his campaign. I think we have to be smarter than that, frankly.
