Jack Conway’s got a new campaign manager: Jonathan Drobis.
Drobis was dep. campaign manager to NY Comptroller Bill Thompson (D), who came close to upsetting NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg last month in his run for a third term. He previously worked for the consulting firm Abrosino, Muir & Hansen, and worked on Sec/State Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Mark Riddle, a Kentucky-based strategist, has been advising Conway’s efforts via his media firm. Riddle will stay on as general consultant.
The DSCC has pushed for the new manager for quite a while and finally succeeded.

thank god, everyone in the world knows how incompetent riddle is. a consultant in the true sense. he cons people into hiring them, and then insults them by doing nothing for them. he took conway, who had a shot, and has practically ruined his race. and he’s done nothing to help jim king get elected.
what’s this charles halloran figure doing for conway?

Jack Conway needs to use Rand Paul’s words against him and start tweeting about this race.
In today’s edition of the Washington D.C. newspaper, The Hill, Paul says “I’m not an expert, so don’t give me the power in Washington to be making [mine safety] rules.”
Jack should be all over that line. It should be the gaffe of the campaign, after Paul’s statement that restaurants should have the right not to serve blacks, if they so choose.
If Paul isn’t ready to work hard, bring in experts, evaluate information, and protect the lives of his residents, then he doesn’t deserve to be among the top 100 most powerful legislators in the nation.
Moreover, it’s one thing to support the coal industry. It’s a whole nuther thing to turn his back on his own constituents when the company they work for – and in this recession they don’t have many, if any, alternatives – puts profits ahead of lives.
Working in a coal mine is hard enough. It shortens lives quite enough already. There is no excuse for a company that literally is prepared to practically murder their employees for a little more profit.
It is nothing short of that when the corners being cut are so dangerous that none of the other companies are risking it and the likelihood of death is dramatically high.
Rand Paul cares nothing for the people and only for businesses. He would make a great lobbyist but he’s a lousy politician, legislator and human being.
