Which consultant told Democratic candidates to refuse to say that they voted for Obama?

Because somebody did.

CHARLESTON, WV – Today, during an editorial board meeting with the Charleston Daily Mail, Natalie Tennant refused to say that she voted for President Obama in 2012. “I voted for the Democratic Party,” she said. She also, yet again, refused to say whether she would vote for Harry Reid as Majority Leader if elected to the Senate.

Yeah, I know, doesn’t matter because it’s West Virginia, but still. Somebody told Democratic candidates that they needed to be cowards. Who, and why?

  2. Probably all of them and they probably sent memos to the media to ask the question so that the candidates could look like they’re distancing themselves from O’bama. Groupthink is a terrible thing.

  3. i don’t think anyone really had to tell them, once they realized that even knowing who he is cost them 5-8 points in the polls.

    1. If true, then that would be one of the few times Karl Rove giving bad advice would end up being a good thing.
