Jason Embry on Texas Gov. Rick Perry's "Operation Intervention", which lasts until Thursday, December 3rd.
The goal of this operation seems to be persuading [Kay Bailey] Hutchison to abandon her run for governor.
In a memo to "interested parties," Perry consultant Dave Carney wrote:
"Between now and the filing period December 3rd, I would like to ask you to engage in Operation Intervention by reaching out to Hutchison supporters and inviting them to join our effort. Just give them a little positive outreach to welcome those who had been misled early on by the conventional wisdom. It might just take an out stretched hand to get them to join our team."
.... Carney said Hutchison's wavering on whether to resign her Senate seat, combined with her "face-saving" rationale to stay and fight, "has the stench of political death to it."
Another largely cosmetic move in a race already long on cosmetics (ironically, one of the Democratic candidates for governor is a hair care magnate).
