Robertson has long been comfortable only when she can be with supporters or is in deep blue territory. She has little concern for facts (hacking and VA claims) and less for people who disagree with her. Estragon is right, as her name recognition goes up, her negatives go up faster. So, she’d be better off staying home than campaigning! Still, the mainstream media has to have a “competitive” race or there is no story. By contrast, Tom Reed is very natural with people of all views and has worked really hard to listen to people.

Not to arouse the hackles of the feminists, but frankly if you consider the average intelligence of Democratic women elected to Congress, it’s somewhere between a border collie and a senile chimpanzee.

So Robertson must see herself as fitting right in. And she is following the Obama playbook of ignoring press inquiries unless they need something. I see the media noting she doesn’t get back to them, but I don’t see them coming down too hard on her. After all, she’s a Democrat.

But Reed must be in pretty good shape, else some other Democrat would have jumped in the race. Martha seems the type of candidate whose support falls as the voters get to know her.

Pretend that you are a White House National Security Council spokesdude and that you have some talking points for her. Maybe she will open her door to you.

Have a staffer call her, say you’re from the Liberal Progressive Democratic Society Newsletter.
