WisPolitics has a press release from Jim Doyle’s office that says he hired Carol Andrews as Communications Director. In the interest of being the cloud in the sky, I present a couple of Andrews’ greatest hits:
– RedState illustrates just how negative the campaigns she is a part of are, specifically her last one (the Tom Allen-Susan Collins race last year).
– This short video from her 2006 work on Harold Ford’s Senatorial campaign shows what happens when the press doesn’t play ball like Maine’s media did last year…

– How bad is Andrews’ reputation? Liz Garrigan of the Nashville Scene stated, ‘Among Tennessee media (and now Maine’s), she is perhaps the most reviled political communications operative in recent memory.”
The gubernatorial race next year is shaping up to be even slimier than either the 2006 one or the 1998 Senate race.
I’d LOVE to have her try to push me around like that.
At my age, the “don’t hurt broads” rule doesn’t apply anymore.
Lets give Jim the benefit of the doubt. Hes not the sharpest, but hiring Carol
may just imply he intends to run just once more and is expecting a nasty brawl
from the right. Either that or he owes someone a favor and this is his payback.
Either way its Wisconsins very own communications director. Someone we can all
be proud of.
Or we can believe that Jim “Craps” Doyle (WEAC/HoChunk-For Sale) is planning on initiating that nasty brawl. Of course, the payback is an option; there is a reason why I list his hometown as For Sale.
By the way, the last two campaigns Andrews worked on were losing efforts.
