Re: Bad campaign move

I couldn't agree with you more, Jenna (and with Patrick). I'd like to add one thing to the conversation. I know that Bucher wants to appear strong and tough on crime, but his campaign risks coming off as too emotional if we see any more incidents like this. I think that everyone who read the two releases noted the difference. Owen just happened to be the one who commented on it, and rather benignly at that. The response to Owen's comments are way out of scale with his actual comments. Being tough on crime is an admirable trait to portray to voters, but if you and/or your campaign starts to come off as emotional, reactive, or too angry, the other guy, who appears calmer and cooler by comparison, benefits. The Bucher campaign did itself no favors yesterday.
