Campaigns are not telethons
Jul 14
Republican Governor Rick Perry had a good news day a few days ago, and now Republican senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, his opponent for the GOP nomination for Governor in Texas, had her good news today and yesterday. The Austin American Statesman’s Gardner Selby reports that Hutchison currently has $12.5 million cash on hand – which is a touch more than Governor Perry’s $9.3 million on hand today. Those numbers being said, it’s a bit premature to tell either team to start warming up the bus.
Both sides advocates, and opponents, will spin these numbers every which way. There are arguments and spin flying back forth online that claim and spin one thing or the other about the two candidate’s current cash on hand numbers – which are all wonderful to read, but at the end of the day don’t mean much since the primary is next March and there’s a lot that’s going to happen for and to both campaigns in the months ahead. You see, campaigns aren’t about who has the most amount of money – just ask Phil Gramm, or any other number of well funded blowouts – but about who does what with the money they’ve got. The real story of the campaign will be told using elements that the public hasn’t seen yet and is truthfully still being developed. That’s why campaigns are campaigns, and not telethons.
Kentucky Republican Secretary of State, and Republican primary hopeful, Trey Grayson has been given another tool, if used properly, could help him in his effort to oust incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Jim Bunning in next year’s Republican primary contest. Grayson has been named president of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS)- a post that will either give him another opening to further connect with other political and financial leaders across the country – or will be another few words on his resume.
The presidency of a national group like NASS, the National Governors Association, or the National Attorneys General Association can be a great opportunity – if seized and acted upon. It’s far from being the perfect silver bullet to solve the office holders profile woes, but can be a useful tool if properly utilized.
Truth be told, it might become more a curse than a blessing for Grayson. After all, he’s trying to figure out if he really wants to run for the U.S. Senate – and this NASS presidency will be another draw on his time from his family and his pondering a future race.
