I'd have to say that the other thread is slightly more interesting.

She was originally in charge of the press at Rand's party.



Here is a pic that Gene Linzy took of her in action:

Not that my job was easy, but hers was insanity.

She had to get Rand from the stage to the press riser (no small feat considering he was surrounded by no less than 1000 people - try moving 40+ft in a crowd that size surrounding you). Then she had to walk him to each media outlet's camera on the riser and get him set up for an interview often times only having seconds to spare. These network producers, many of whom were very demanding, had specific and narrow broadcast windows. She was coordinating with them who were all coordinating with their producers in studio. Various allotted satellite uplink time, commercial breaks, other races being called and speeches were all factors. She had to get Rand to the correct camera at the correct time in the correct sequence. When changes came up she had to make split second decisions on the fly. I could not imagine having to keep track of it all.

Well she's got a chore ahead of her. Looks like the Left is going to double down on their Alinskyite strategy (http://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/communism/alinsky.htm) of picking Rand as a target.

It didn't work and in fact I think it was counter-productive but it'll suck for Rand's communications team.

The Professional Left will lose more elections but they'll be able to justify their salaries to Soros and loony leftists that get a sick and deranged personal thrill out of attacking Rand and Palin. Rand will get what Palin gets: Being a conservative superstar who sells a lot of books and the media salivates over but he'll actually have a trans-partisan agenda with some really popular elements.

Rand will go laughing to the bank. Unfortunately so will the liberal blogs. But I think an overall smaller government agenda is possible because Obama, Soros, and the nutroots think that it's only about spinning stuff favorably and not policy. National left-wing propagandists have been trying to sell the Obama is Hitler meme since the end of the primary (http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/05/rand_paul_economic_collapse_could_lead_to_a_hitler .php) and still are pushing the same exact crap now.

OMG Rand Paul called Obama Hitler! OMG Rand Paul kidnapped a co-ed! OMG Rand Paul supporter stomped a woman's head. All were reported on prominently. I mean this was the front page:

What did it get them? A BIG FAT nothingburger! Rand's team just needs to do what he did and focus on the things the electorate is focused on (Economy, Spending, Healthcare) and let them go on yet another wild goose chase with their fake scandals.
