I 've been mentioning the trials and tribulations of Carl McCall, Democrat gubernatorial candidate in NY State. Well, yesterday he released 58 more official letters he had written trying to scare up jobs for pals. As a result, Desperate Dems Circle the Wagons:
Top Democrats yesterday were using words like "disaster," "very serious" and "near fatal" to describe the damage to Carl McCall's campaign.Forget that boring stuff. Who's his tag team partner?
And many privately expressed the fear that McCall would be unable to recover from the stunning revelation of a raft of job-seeking letters he wrote on official state comptroller's stationery.
"Carl's money is now frozen, there's no message to speak of and the troops are clearly demoralized," said a senior state Democrat.
"The question is, can he pick himself up and get going again?"
