2010-Year of the missing candidate

By JONATHAN MARTIN | 10/5/10 4:34 AM EDT


With a month left until the midterm elections, there is something noticeably absent from some key statewide races: the candidates.

They’re ducking public events, refusing to publicize the ones they do hold and skipping debates and national TV interviews altogether – out of fear of a gotcha moment that will come back to haunt them.

It’s mostly, but not entirely, a Republican phenomenon. In some cases, a tea-party-oriented candidate has made a plain calculation that a one-day, process story about an absence from the campaign trail or a refusal to debate is less damaging than the captured-on-tape gaffe the candidate could make when facing reporters.

5. You know there has to be someone or a group of someones..

telling republicans what to do. It seems they are too organized and clanny and sticking together for it to be casual. Look at how they all come out with the same talking points, how they all hold together to vote together. How that all get on TV and swear by the same lie. I wonder who is the "shadowy figure behind the throne". And it sure ain't Rover boy and his box of dog biscuits.

6. Or they just hear echos in their heads?

They also must have sucked in debate class. They just plain suck is more likely.
