LA-06: Republican Laurinda Calongne Has Been AWOL The Last 7 Years by: arubyan Mon Mar 17, 2008 at 18:54:25 PM CDT Yeah, it's bad, but I'm sure the Republican base will love it -- whether or not it ever runs on TV. arubyan :: LA-06: Republican Laurinda Calongne Has Been AWOL The Last 7 Years Tags: Woody Jenkins, Laurinda Calongne, Republican primary, LA-06, (All Tags) Print Friendly View Send As Email LA-06: Republican Laurinda Calongne Has Been AWOL The Last 7 Years | 8 comments by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel. You must enter a subject for your comment Wait.. wait.. wait... (0.00 / 0) Republicans complaining about Democrats running up the debt? Apparently somebody hasn't been paying attention for the past 7 or so years... And yeah, cringe-inducingly bad. Makes Baker seem downright decent in comparison. by: Matt D @ Tue Mar 18, 2008 at 02:32:55 AM UTC by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.

(0.00 / 0) Nice catch.  I usually can't bring myself to watch GOP ads, as they make me want to hurl something at the TV.   "I was against NAFTA and CAFTA, and I'll be against SHAFTA." by: ryan @ Tue Mar 18, 2008 at 04:23:00 AM UTC by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.

(0.00 / 0) Very clever commercial - packed with inaccurate information that unfortunately some voters will fall for.     by: vlancast @ Tue Mar 18, 2008 at 13:30:23 PM UTC by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.

Not sure why Calongne has to call the WH at 3am, but I guess she's showing us just how hard a worker she intends to be. At least I know how to pronounce her name correctly. by: oyster @ Tue Mar 18, 2008 at 15:46:25 PM UTC [ Parent ] by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.

You must enter a subject for your comment Uh huh (0.00 / 0) That's what I don't get. It's 3AM and Laurinda Calongne is harassing the White House. How does this instill confidence? I agree with Oyster; this commercial is drawn out, and Calongne appears positively giddy by her own cleverness. Notice how she delivers the line about auto-redialing. Blegh.

You must enter a subject for your comment Apparently... (0.00 / 0) She hired some DC consultants for her campaign, who advised her to go apes**t on the immigration front. Fewer than 2% of LA-06 residents are Hispanic, and I have no idea what percentage of those are recent, illegal arrivals. Not a 'campaign centerpiece', I'd figure... and so, now, she's railing against the spending by ... her own party? Too clever by half. by: Matt D @ Wed Mar 19, 2008 at 20:08:05 PM UTC [ Parent ] by: you @ soon To post this comment click here: Otherwise click cancel.
