In reply to the discussion: Debbie Wasserman Schultz: ‘There Aren’t Going To Be Any Repercussions’ If Walker Wins In Wisconsin' [View all]AtomicKitten
(46,585 posts)87. yet again you've misrepresented the facts --
From the link I provided:
- snip
The Democratic National Committee is fundraising directly for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin in an effort to aid Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett (D) in the upcoming gubernatorial election against Gov. Scott Walker (R).
"Choices don't get clearer than this," read the email sent Wednesday evening by the DNC chair, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.). "Winning in Wisconsin sends a powerful message to the far-right extremists, and it starts to roll back their worst offenses. To build our organization and make it happen, Democrats need to come together to turn out hundreds of thousands of voters -- and we all have a part to play."
What's notable about this fundraising appeal is that the money will go directly to Wisconsin Democrats, rather than to the DNC. Other national organizations -- including the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee -- have sent out solicitations related to the recall, but the money has not directly gone to Wisconsin entities.
A Democratic party official told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Wednesday's fundraising email was being sent to "millions" of people.

nominee vs. candidate:
In the context of elections for public office in a representational partisan democracy, a candidate who has been selected by a political party is normally said to be the nominee of that party. The party's selection (that is, the nomination) is typically accomplished either based on one or more primary elections according to the rules of the party and any applicable election laws.
The fact is when the Democratic nominee was determined in this gubernatorial race primary, all money raised by the DNC went and is going directly to the Democratic nominee's campaign.
There it is: In your face facts, not unsourced gossip. Keep stirring ...

Debbie doesn't like to attack Republicans, she prefers to get along with them.

It's not even so much what we'd expect her to say. It's what we expected her to DO.

Whose side? It may be the side of the anti-union, wage lowering, "free-trade" agreements.

If the Democratic Party can't be effective in Wisconsin, where can they succeed?

No. Barrett is the Democratic candidate for the governorship. Barrett is not the Democratic campaign

What do you think she should have said: that a Walker's win means that Romney will win.
