New Campaign Strategy


I was bouncing around different news media websites and I stumbled across a Conservative news outlet called Red State. On their main page, an article caught my attention, "Of course the Attorney General opening will be a campaign point", is what the headline read. At first, I thought that this was going to be another one sided topic that was spun to the extreme right. After reading the article, I can say that I was throughly impressed.

An issue as large as having the Attorney General resign right before a pivotal midterm election makes you think what the ulterior motives are to the decision. The author of the article, Joe Cunningham, does a great job at writing the article from a neutral perspective, analyzing the intent and next steps for both sides. While the article does close out with a bit of a spin to the right, 

"If this was a move that was meant to be used in the actual campaign season, it is possibly the dumbest yet. But, at this point, Democrats’ only option might be to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks. “Obstructing GOP wants the country to be without a Justice leader!” would be uninspiring and, frankly, absurd given we haven’t had one in six years"

it was significantly minor in comparison to the non-biased majority of the article.
