| Yes, Sharon, you are chopped liver. From MIRS tonight: But it's the liberal blogs' rejection that really stings Renier. They've launched an all-out campaign with multiple posts like "Mark! Mark! He's Our Man!" trying to raise money for Schauer to combat Walberg's fundraiser this week with Vice President Dick CHENEY.
Renier has -$113 cash on hand and has $5,387 in debt, according to the latest reports by the Federal Election Commission. Schauer is flush with $500,720 in the bank. So Renier contends she's the one who could use a cash injection.
"That makes me really mad," Renier told MIRS. "Michigan Liberal should be neutral if their goal is to get progressives and liberals elected. They should wait till after the primary."
Michigan Liberal poster Eric BAERREN's only justification for championing Schauer over Renier was, "Sorry, Sharon, but I's gots to follow my instincts" in the middle of a post celebrating the anti-Cheney fund drive.
If Sharon Renier wishes to get angry at someone, it should be the god of political probability, who says that come August that in all likelihood she is going to get pummelled by a superior candidate. Working to that is not something that I need to justify to anyone, including anonymous hit piece authors who may or may not have just last Fall publicly complained about anonymous blogger hit pieces in a column written for the Battle Creek Enquirer. It's also unfortunate that Sharon Renier thinks we should feel obligated to remain on the sidelines until after the primary. This says much about why, in this case, we aren't remaining neutral. While Renier complains about how she has no money and nobody loves her, Schauer is out raising cash and building organization. |
