Today Show-El Tinkleberg filmed saying his campaign was already on its way to winning before

[No Elephants]

the donations. Appreciation thread, my ass.

[WeDidIt]

1. EVERY Candidate is on the way to winning

even when they're down thirty points.

You never say you're losing.

So give the shit up, dude.

[jefferson_dem]

2. That is absolutely...

the right thing to say.

Go Elwyn!

[hlthe2b]

3. Good heavens, NE... what on earth did you think he would say?

That folks should vote for him, even though he was "such lousy candidate he couldn't win without lightening strikig delivering a fatal blow on his opponent in the form of her own comments and money pouring in????" Is THAT what you think will win him the election? So being thanked for your donation is te most important thing?

[Cali_Democrat]

4. What do you want him to say?

"We were dead in the water.....we had no strategy....we were dead!!!"


Get real.

5. Don't care what he said. Don't know much about him.

My donation was a protest of what Mrs McCarthy said and is. He has to be a better candidate.

[ecstatic]

9. That's what I'm thinking too. ANYTHING and ANYONE is better than

that monster who appeared on Hardball last week.

[mwb970]

6. I don't understand your objection.

Please tell us what he should have said.

[terrya]

7. I think Tinkleberg was very humbled and appreciative of the amount of donations since last week.

I have no problem with what he said. Hell, anything as long as Bachmann's sorry ass is kicked on the curb 11/4.

[wellstone dem]

8. He was absolutely moving in the right direction, before Michele's help

he was only 4% behind and the DCCC had moved his race into the "from red to blue" program.

But without doubt, the money from Michele has help to speed the move up. Thank you so much all who contributed.

[No Elephants]

10. The only two alternatives are to say, "I'm a loser" or "I was winning anyway?" Are you kidding? He

could have said SO many things that did not put down his candidacy or his campaign without waving away the impact of collecting a million bucks in a couple of days.

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. You want him to credit you specifically, don't you?

It's all about you.

[Faygo Kid]

13. LOL. And you're absolutely right.

I just want him to win, and put an end to Michelle Bachmann on the national stage.

[No Elephants]

14. That's a ridiculous question.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. No Elephants Know-Nothing...

[PVnRT]

15. What an ass

He was not on his way to winning before - this seat wasn't even on the radar before Michelle opened her mouth.

[No Elephants]

18. Thank you. I want him to win, too, but hearing that while someone here had an appreciation thread

going for him was a tad ironic.

[TooRaLoo]

16. OH noes!! Stone him... This is ridiculous. nt

[GOTV]

17. Is he winning now?

[No Elephants]

19. I don't know. I sure hope he is.

[Starry Messenger]

20. Was he grateful enough on Friday?

21. So, ask for your money back, then.

Good grief.
