Capri Cafaro says yeah. Hell Yeah.
I can picture her decision process now:
“Like, wow, I mean absolutely, don’t ya know. It’s like, sooooo coooollllll. All I do is like, sign some checks, and then these guys with like, really bad hair and really cheap aftershave like, tell me like I’m cool and promise endorsements, and like, I’ll be in Congress, I mean to say, isn’t that like just totally awesome? But, but, where like am I going to find some shoes and a bag that doesn’t clash with my platform? Oh no! I’ll have to mix with the the, like, peasants and the pool boy and stuff… They’re so like, icky. I mean, like grody to the max. Like, well, I mean, gag me with a spoon ….. Like, Whatever …”
Let’s see, $30,000 for infomercial filming, $250,000 per week planed tv ad buys. So, we’re looking at an excess of ½ million, and will probably top that, for a primary.
Essentially, the nuclear spending option for a fly-in candidate who couldn’t be bothered to live in the area.
Interesting note on the Emily’s list endorsement here. Given the Democratic strategy of running on charges of Republican corruption, it’s not surprising that people might be a trifle gun-shy about anyone with ties to Trafficant.
Of course, the bigger knock against Ms. Cafaro is that she hasn’t done anything other than be a shopping mall heiress & get good grades. Note: having Daddy give you a job filling out a box on an org chart for a couple of years doesn’t count.
Even if she loses, they’ll always be an open seat somewhere, calling out to a candidate with a bankroll.
Note: Jill over at Writes Like She Talks started this rant…
