The political improv act with the most entertainment potential is underway.
Peg Attacks: “If she lacked the commitment to the Democratic Party to delay joining until she was 45 years old, can Wisconsin Democrats really count on her to stand up and take action for what they believe in?”At first glance I thought the incumbent Attorney General was invoking the spirit of Ronald Reagan: "I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience." But wait, this is a Democratic Primary challenge and Miss Peggy is absolutely going to argue about personal traits rather than public issues.
Kathleen Reacts: “Lautenschlager’s negative attack on Kathleen Falk on the eve of the Democratic State Convention shows how desperate Lautenschlager is,” said Falk Communications Director Adam Collins. “I guess we know what kind of campaign we can expect from Peg Lautenschlager.”Huh? Sending the manservant to point out Miss Peggy is a mean girl? No spin about joining the Party after mature reasoned consideration of principal, as opposed to habitual behavior adopted in some adolescent hormonal flush of emotion. Seriously Kathleen, this is Miss Peggy talking about your age in public. At least go after her wardrobe. I guarantee a few snide remarks about her inability to coordinate accessories will get you more press coverage than rattling off a list of your endorsements.
