South the Mouth

Garry South just can't get enough of complaining about Phil Angelides and his campaign. Today, he has penned two op-eds on the subject. For the Los Angeles Times, he wrote "Phil, the unlovable loser". Read it here. In the San Francisco Chronicle's "Why Phil Angelides lost", South pens an epic 1,300-word piece--and barely even uses his content from the LA Times piece. How did the Angelides' campaign meet its ignominious end? Let me count the ways: No compelling message. No credible messenger. No cogent case made on his own behalf. No consistent or convincing attack strategy against his opponent. No coherent policy agenda or vision for the state. No capability of raising the money necessary to be competitive. Of course, South gets his word into the Bee, as well. "Phil was the wrong candidate running against the wrong candidate at the wrong time with the wrong campaign on the wrong issues," South said. "I don't know how you can be more wrong than that in a campaign."
