Dewhurst admits that he's a conciliator

30 seconds after saying that he wanted to sit down with conservative groups after the election on the Matt Patrick show, David Dewhurst said:

David Dewhurst: If there's anyone I have said or done that has put someone off, that's not my style. (Matt Patrick Show, July 5, 2012)

David Dewhurst promises to campaign AFTER the election on the Matt Patrick show

Although David Dewhurst has avoided grassroots events for the entire campaign, Dewhurst yesterday told Matt Patrick that he wants to sit down with people after the election to "just talk."

Matt Patrick: When this is over with, whoever wins this thing....there's going to be a period of time when you or whoever wins this thing is going to have to go out and soothe some ruffled feathers.

David Dewhurst: Well um, I'd love an opportunity if anyone has ruffled, um...feelings...to let me sit down with you, your group. Uh, individually...larger groups. And...just talk.

So during the campaign, Dewhurst has avoided debates, candidate forums, Republican Women's clubs and Tea Party groups that invited him, yet he says he wants to sit down with those groups after the election?

That's a unique style of campaigning. "I'll ignore you during the election, but after the campaign is over, then I will really want to talk...promise!"

Rob Portman's Texas connection

NYT:

Mr. Portman can deliver a speech in Spanish. He learned the language while living on a ranch near the Rio Grande in Texas during a college break, working alongside illegal immigrants. The experience intrigued him enough that he used it to write his anthropology thesis at Dartmouth.

He recorded radio ads in Spanish during his Senate race and promoted his jobs plan to Hispanic voters. With a light accent and a trill of his R's, he introduced himself by saying, “Soy Rob Portman, candidato para el Senado de los Estados Unidos."

3 months to learn Spanish. Not too shabby.

The Senator from Ohio looks like the choice to me, if I were Romney. But honestly the "who will be the VP pick?" parlor game wouldn't get so much attention if it didn't occur in the slow news months of the summer.

Dewhurst's muddled messaging

Is it me or is Dewhurst's campaign remarkably messageless right now? Dan Patrick played the role of Dewhurst surrogate on his radio show and got into a heated debate with Ted Cruz. Yawn. That's really what they're pushing hard?

If this were a presidential campaign, we'd be about a week away from the Politico piece where the consultants start blaming each other.

The Ted Cruz v David Dewhurst supporter enthusiasm gap

One more data point when thinking about the enthusiasm gap between supporters of Ted Cruz and David Dewhurst in the Republican primary runoff.

From Targeted Victory:

1. Ted Cruz had the most views [in all America] with 69,458 and the largest increase in subscriber growth with 20.00%.

2. The most watched political video [in the nation] was "Desperate Dewhurst's Amnesty Lies" by Ted Cruz with 47,302 views.

The "Desperate Dewhurst Amnesty Lies" video was in response to the last minute Dewhurst attempt to play the race card, under-the-radar.

So Ted Cruz had double the YouTube views. And, again, that understates the true enthusiasm gap. I've seen many paid Google ads from the Dewhurst campaign which lead to landing pages where the Dewhurst ad plays automatically. I have yet to see the Cruz campaign advertise to get people to watch their videos.
