Ogsbury takes an interesting angle with title of press release

Jim Ogsbury’s latest press release is titled “Former Democratic Party Chair Exposed.”

Ogsbury’s camp seems to have realized, despite his party registration, Democratic Congressman Harry Mitchell is personally popular in his home 5th Congressional District.  When a politician is personally liked by his constituents it makes it harder to attack them. 

Ogsbury’s campaign today issued the press release to show how Mitchell has voted with Democratic Majority 88.7% of the time.  Ogsbury takes much of the same line former candidate Jeff Hatch-Miller took during his short flirtation with the seat.  Hatch-Miller seemed to talk a lot about the failures of Congress and the need for change, recognizing Congress’ approval rating is at a historical low just like the President’s.  This shows the fine balance the eventual Republican nominee will have in trying to attack a popular Congressman who is part of an unpopular Congress.
