Inside The Republican Party: Online Fundraising
Hat tip to Matt Stoller for discovering a fascinating RedState comment from the ex-e-campaign manager of the RNC, Mike Turk.
He's answering a question posed by Mike Krempasky: why have Democrats leapt ahead of Republicans in their willingness to experiment with personal online fundraising technologies?
His answer seems to be (in part): his former boss, Ken Mehlman, would not tolerate much dissent from The Message or bear to relinquish control over any lever of political power.
Come on now - you might want to read a little closer. Turk spends a whole lot more time talking about other obstacles. And Matt's just damn crazy to draw the conclusions he does.
That is absolutely not what I was saying. If you really want to know what I was saying, feel free to ask next time.
Methinks the ladies doth protest too much.
