My crystal ball was sitting in the corner of my office, getting all dusty and feeling forlorn and abandoned. I was just about to shine it up, but realized I still didn't need it, because I saw this:
A wealthy Obama donor who turned on the president is launching an attack on Obama over the Air Force One flyover screw-up, linking it to his big spending policies, an assault that may involve radio and TV ads in a preview of what to expect in the 2010 midterm elections.
The donor, businessman Fred Tausch of New Hampshire, announced in February he’d be sinking some $100,000 into assaults on Obama. Now he’s adding the flyover snafu to his list of grievances, tying it to “wasteful spending” in a direct mail piece sent out to his state’s voters.The group Tausch founded to attack Obama, Steward For Prosperity, may bankroll radio and TV ads along the same lines.
Hmm... Why in the world would he sink so much cash into such a weak anti-Obama campaign? What could this guy be up to? Where's that crystal ball again?
With New Hampshire Senator Judd Gregg saying he’ll retire and John Sununu uncertain whether he’ll run again, Tausch is being talked about seriously in some quarters as a GOP candidate for Senate. So this is a preview of what we may see from 2010 Republican candidates in New Hampshire and elsewhere who want to take Obama down a few notches to limit whatever lift he can give to the Dem candidates.If this is all Tausch has, he just wasted a sackful of money. And I didn't need my crystal ball to tell me that.
