Lowden campaign reaches out in effort to lock down the pity vote

There's some guy named Bob Cashell who is the mayor of Reno 911 or whatever and first he was for Harry Reid and then he was for Sue Lowden and then he was for Sue Lowden but called her "Suicidal Sue" because her campaign is so hilarious to everyone and so wouldn't you know the Lowden campaign, as is its custom, doubled down on the hilarity:

...the Lowden campaign invited photographers and reporters to document a reconciliation beer with Cashell at a Reno bar....

“Bob Cashell is one of my favorite people,” Lowden said outside the Flowing Tide bar, where Cashell was supposed to share a beer with her. “He is very much a part of my campaign, so we thought we would have a friendly beer.”

Contacted by a reporter before the meeting, Cashell said he was surprised reporters were invited and questioned Lowden’s motives for inviting him. He said in a brief interview that “something came up” and he couldn’t make the meeting with Lowden.

Eh, it's probably all a set-up as part of the final gambit strategy devised by Lowden's hot shot campaign advisers: deliberately make people feel sorry for her.

Cashell's loss. Trust me when I tell you, she's a lot more fun after a few beers.

Poor Sue. Such disrespect. Her attempt at getting press coverage backfired. shame.

And for us, we missed the opportunity to see her hoist back a Schlitz Blue Ribbon and belch for the camera.

Sue 6 pack? Hey, she should have invited Palin.

I see they outlawed chicken suits at polling places.

But they've carried it to new extremes.

I showed up to vote and they told me to come back later.

They say they smelled KFC on my breath and told me to go home and sleep it off!

Sue: I'll have a beer with ya!

Lowden has only herself to blame for her falling ratings.
Harry Reid got no sympathy for his incredibly stupid remarks about why people voted for Obama -- nor should he have.
Hey, Sue: Welcome to politics. It's rough. You open your mouth and stick your foot in it. You deal with flack. Too bad. Grow up and quit whining -- after all, isn't that what conservatism is all about?

"Harry Reid got no sympathy for his incredibly stupid remarks about why people voted for Obama "

No, he didn't... But at least in his case, Reid used the worst possible language to say what we all already knew about the politics of race. He wasn't being racist.

In contrast, Suzy Lowdown said what she said about bartering because she's so out of touch of working class Nevadans that she doesn't know how all the rest of us survive without filthy rich casino titan husbands!

And yes, Suzy Lowdown should have taken responsibility for her looney tunes comments. But by not doing so, she paved the way for our favorite Batsh*t Crazy Sharron Angle to take the lead to win the race to lose to Reid in November. So ultimately, Ms. Suzy may have done us a huge favor? ;-)

OK, so chicken suits are banned at polling places.... Can I just carry in a rubber chicken? How about bringing a basket of eggs? What if I wanted to get an egg mcmuffin to eat while I am pondering my selections at the polls? Can I bring live chickens so I can barter for a ride home in a taxi?

It's getting pretty ridiculous.

You go in there and cackle or cockle doodle doo?

YER OUTTA THERE!

LMAO

I'm surprised Mrs. Lowden picked the Flowing Tide bar as the meeting place. It is a generic watering hole in a south Reno commercial/office district, away from downtown Reno and the airport. City hall is in downtown Reno where many nice bars are located. Might I suggest the Imperial lounge or Silver Peak brewery to Mrs. Lowden? If she had picked those spots, the Mayor could have walked from his office, rather than traipsing all the way to the south meadows and the Flowing Tide.

@ rob,
Yeah. If you want to make nicey-nice with the Mayor you'd be better off being the stand-up person and make the location of the meeting easy on the Mayor. My vote is for pitty ploy. Lowden's campaign advisors=Epic Fail. Wow. Getting paid for non-performance. What the hell is that like?

[Happygirl]

Adleft: I appreciate your comparison between Reid's thoughtless comments and Lowden's downright moronic ones.
(Believe me, I'll take Reid -- despite his drawbacks -- any day of the week over the highly flawed candidates the Nev. GOP insults our intelligence with.)
That said, Lowden's stupidty, followed by her "Whaaaah! Media pick on me!" whinging is hysterical -- and so hypocritical.
