Ellmore 8th CD Campaign: Still Working On Those Flyers
Last we left the 8th Congressional District campaign, the Mark Ellmore campaign had just sent out a flier making false statements the weekend before the GOP primary. Well, it paid off and Ellmore won the primary. So now that Ellmore campaign is facing Democratic incumbent Jim Moran in the general, it looks like they’re reworking their political flyer strategy:
So, the other day Mark Ellmore came to my house. [ . . . ] He was kind of shifty-eyed and sniffly, and of course my first thought was “drug addict,” but no, it turns out “congressional hopeful” was the right answer.
Anyway, he handed me this big blue flyer and asked if I had any issues I wanted brought up on a national level. I said no, and went inside to study his paper. Sneaky #1 - it’s a big blue flyer, so of course I read it instead of sticking it straight in the trash. It was really confusing, though - I kept saying, “but I don’t agree with that! That’s a terrible idea! What kind of policy is that?” and it took me FOUR reads before I found the wee little 8-point “Republican Candidate” in the corner. (Sneaky #2!)
Hmm. Sounds like they need a little more work.

so when’s the next MB interview of the 8th CD candidates? Think you can get Mr. Moran this time? I gave him a US Constitution at the Arlington County Fair so maybe you can ask him a question or two about that.

Working on it.
(I suspect that he’s got a few copies . . .)
Do you want to run the over/under pool for the margin in November?
